Dr. Helga Truepel

Hello, I am Helga Truepel, Member of the European Parliament, of Green Party, also Member of China Delegation. This delegation is in charge of the relationship between the EU and China. Not long ago I visited China for the first time, and stayed in Beijing for four days. I would like to use this opportunity to wish all Chinese all the best in the New Year, the Year of Pig. I am very glad to be able to visit China, and not only just read about China. It's great to experience this interesting and wonderful county, but I am also concerned about the political situation and pressure on human rights and civil rights over there.
