The "double spy case" added gloom to the relations between Germany and the United States
According to German media reported on the 6th, detained the German Federal Bureau of employee employees of the United States is the famous CIA. The relationship between Germany and the United States, which has not yet escaped the shadow of "wiretapping door," adds yet another shadow of haze.
The large-scale surveillance project in the United States spies in a wide range of areas. The high target level shocks the Europeans and arouses strong public dissatisfaction. Confronted with Obama's "show of goodness," Merkel, aware of these concerns, continued to criticize the United States while emphasizing the importance of the trans-Atlantic partnership. With Merkel's visit to the United States in early May, the monitoring turmoil tends to be less serious at the government level. It was at this moment that the "double spy" who worked for the CIA was arrested. According to German media reports, the latest mission of the spy is to collect "NSA incident investigation committee" secret materials.
Analysts believe that the development of the "wiretapping door" incident and the "double spying" incident have shown that there is a war between Germany and the United States in the intimacy and competition under the same core interests. On the one hand, both Germany and the United States are well aware of the importance of safeguarding and strengthening the alliances with Europe and the United States based on common values. Whether it is "tapping" or "double spies", it is hard to fundamentally shake the relations between Germany, the United States and Europe. On the other hand, both Germany and the United States are wary of each other and have their dreams of bed differences. Obama "whispered door" to Merkel "show good" at the same time, insist on not apologizing for the monitoring event, does not fundamentally change the status of the United States intelligence monitoring, Germany signed a non-interception agreement.
The euro zone under Germany's leadership has gradually out of the shadow of the debt crisis. The German foreign minister and anti-Japanese leaders have come up with the concept of "promising diplomacy," with the intention of exerting more influence in international affairs. For such a "deep companion" has a profound heritage gradually powerful, the United States had to prevent big brother. Although the "double spy" incident will not fundamentally impede the development of German-US relations, it will inevitably add embarrassment and suspicion to the alliance of the two countries.
