Merkel with former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl
In 1990, Merkel's Democratic Rise merged with the CDU's regional organization in East Germany, and Merkel became a CDU member. At the end of 1990
Reunification of Germany and Germany
In the first general election, Merkel successfully won a directly elected seat in the Stralsung-Rugen Griemen constituency, becoming a federal member of Parliament. Soon after, it was
Helmut Kohl
Helmut Kohl made his mark in German politics by joining the cabinet.
At the beginning of her career, Merkel comes across as reserved and unsmiling, and sometimes even a little reserved and shy. Under Kohl's watch, however, Merkel quickly grew up and rose through the ranks of the CDU. As a result, some people called her "Cole's little girl."

Merkel in an interview in 1995
In 1998, after the party lost the general election, Schauble succeeded Kohl as head of the CDU, and Merkel was appointed party general secretary. At the end of 1999, the "black gold case" of the CDU receiving party donations during the Kohl period was revealed, which shocked all Germans. Soon after, Schaeuble, the CDU's president, announced that he would not run for the party presidency because of his involvement. At the Essen party Congress in April 2000, Merkel was elected president of the CDU, and finally ascended to the pinnacle of power of the CDU.
In July 2009, he attended the G8 Summit in L 'Aquila, Italy
When it comes to illegal donations to the CDU, Ms Merkel can stick to her principles and be realistic. She can take the lead in drawing a clear line with Cole and successfully resolve the conflict with her teacher in the future. In her short political career, she has learned how to bend and stretch, how to grit her teeth in times of crisis and eliminate dissenters. The CDU, formerly the conservative party of West Germany, has traditionally been a "man's country". But now, surprisingly, the CDU is in the hands of a woman from East Germany.
Angela Merkel has gradually won over the majority of her party with her simple, firm and practical style. Her slogan, "I will play for Germany," was sincere and resounding, and endeared herself to many. Although Merkel and the Coalition party made some missteps during the fierce campaign, which caused the party to lose a lot of votes at the last minute of the election and encountered great pressure, Merkel stood firm, and finally defeated the Social Democratic Party by a narrow margin.

At a press conference in Berlin, Germany, September 2009
In addition to her role as leader of the CDU, Merkel has been a member of the CDU's conservative wing of the Bundestag since 2002.
In 2002, despite national opposition, Merkel publicly endorsed it
Iraq War
Saying it was "inevitable", she led her CDU to a crushing defeat in the federal election. Schroder later attributed his election victory to his strong stance against US hegemony and military adventures.
On 30 May 2005, she formally represented the CDU/CSU in the federal election on 18 September 2005 against Chancellor Gerhard Schroder to become the next chancellor. On October 10, the Christian Democratic Union and the Social Democratic Party, which were almost tied in the general election, reached a consensus in the coalition formation negotiations of nearly two months, confirming that Merkel would be the federal chancellor, and the cabinet personnel would be dominated by the Social Democratic Party, forming the first "left-right grand coalition" in 40 years.
On November 22, 2005, Merkel officially became Germany's first female federal chancellor, also a thousand years ago

Three months after winning the general election, Germany's Social Democrats agreed on December 15 to form a "grand coalition" with Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats and their Bavarian sister party, the Christian Socialist Party.

On 6 December 2016, the CDU held a general election. After leading the Christian Democratic Union for 16 years, Merkel was elected to a ninth consecutive term as party president with 89.5 percent of the vote.

"If all of a sudden they [Indians] eat one more meal than they used to, and if all of a sudden 100 million Chinese start drinking milk, then of course we will have a shortage of milk, as well as in other areas," Merkel said.

Yet she has proved herself competent and responsible for the economics of nuclear power.

She has visited China 12 times and traveled all over China, playing diabolo in Beijing, visiting vegetable markets in Chengdu, and learning how to cook kung pao chicken. It is precisely with her in-depth understanding of China that Merkel has always insisted on strengthening cooperation and maintaining dialogue with China when developing relations with China. During Merkel's tenure as chancellor, China-Germany relations, especially economic and trade relations, developed rapidly. China is not only Germany's most important trading partner, but the Chinese market has also become the most important overseas market for German companies. It is relying on the Chinese market that German companies have maintained a good momentum of development in the increasingly fierce international competition in recent years.

Merkel said that Germany-China relations are developing well and both sides have sent out strong signals to further develop bilateral relations.

To cope with the current international financial crisis, it is necessary to carry out international cooperation and establish a new international financial system. China is playing an increasingly important role in coping with the challenges facing the world, and Germany hopes that Germany-China cooperation can be further promoted in all fields, and is willing to consult with the Chinese government in political, economic, cultural and international affairs.

Merkel as a child
Her background in the former East Germany was a huge influence on Merkel, who as the daughter of a pastor and spent the first 36 years of her life in a society where an East German police informer could be found in every room, developed a good ability to mask or control her emotions. In addition to German, Merkel speaks Russian and English, and when asked about her East German background, she said: "People who really have something to say don't even need makeup."
[20]
A young Merkel
In school, Merkel is not very visible, in the impression of high school classmates, Merkel has never had a boyfriend, belongs to the "never been kissed." Her classmates recall that Merkel lived a very simple life, always wearing light colors, so that classmates once mocked her as a "gray mouse."

Merkel gives TV interview
Once, Merkel ended up right
Republic of Lithuania
Visit, take a special plane home. On the plane, she laughed uncontrollably. She was laughing so hard that she could hardly speak. Merkel's eyes glinted and she was shaking. She tried to go on, but her words were soon drowned out by laughter.
The reason Merkel was laughing so hard was because the reporters she was following told a story she had heard on a visit to Lithuania:
Belarus
One is being built near the Lithuanian border
Nuclear power plant
Lithuanians are very worried
Nuclear contamination
Question. One day,
Prime Ministers of Lithuania
Kubilius and his family, dressed as tourists, rode bicycles and prepared to arrive
Nuclear power plant
After a thorough investigation, the Belarusian police impounded the car and people together.
Before the end of the story, Merkel was laughing so hard that she almost got angry. She is full of energy, cheerful personality and is always very happy most of the time. She often finds joy in the little things, especially the little things around her that can go wrong.
Angela Merkel
In one meeting, Merkel was confused about some figures and facts, so she asked an official for advice, but the official's rambling answer left Merkel unhappy. "That's a great comment." "Ms. Merkel told the official, with a sneering look on her face and a sarcastic tone. The official's face turned red and then white, and the rest of the time he sat there with a dead face. After the meeting, Merkel walked up to the official and told him: "You were right, but it didn't help me." When she spoke, her expression was gentle and friendly, and her words were full of comfort. At that moment, the official seemed to come back to life.
As a political leader, Ms Merkel does not want things to get too nasty. She knows when to give someone a break and not be too cruel.
Merkel was speaking at the Women's Union congress
When it came to answering questions, however, Merkel became very friendly, even when asked aggressively. Her facial expressions are always confusing, just as her brain and facial movements don't work well together. She looks scary, but she's not scary at all. She's very friendly. She knows this, and when asked about it, Ms Merkel replied: "This is who I am."
Merkel has the same trouble with her speech, which often fails to convey the mood she wants to convey. As a

Merkel said she learned
