Germany's New China Policy: Right Instinct, Wrong Tools

Original: Germany’s New China Policy: Right Instinct, Wrong Tools

Germany's revised approach to China is drawing debate after a policy commentary argued that while Berlin is right to reassess its reliance on Beijing, the instruments it is using are inadequate. The piece suggests the government recognises the risks of economic and political dependence on China but has so far failed to equip itself with effective tools to manage them, a criticism likely to fuel wider European discussion of how to handle relations with Beijing.

Why now: Debates over Europe's economic and political dependence on China remain a live foreign policy issue for Germany and the EU.
