BEIJING (Reuters) -China and Germany should prevent undermining their normal bilateral cooperation in the name of "de-risking", Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul in a phone call on Monday.

European nations have moved to reduce their dependence on trade with China, which they have labelled as "de-risking".
