Can Germany have it each methods with China, cooperation AND rivalry? | Berlin Briefing Podcast
China doesn’t hold all the cards, but it is already calling some major shots on European trade and security. Where that leaves Germany as Europe’s largest economy, is at the core of this week’s Berlin Briefing. DW’s Chief International Editor Richard Walker maps out the fact Germany’s chancellor and foreign minister still have “profoundly different views of the relationship that Germany has with China.” This fuels indecision between cooperation and rivalry and meets Chinese pro-trade “pragmatism”, a strategy DW’s Taiwan Bureau Chief Tsou Tzung Han warns could leave Germany’s security interests unaddressed. DW’s Chief Political Editor Michaela Küfner hosts this edition of Berlin Briefing that unpacks some tough policy questions on China that the next German government will have to address.
Key discussions include:
Why there is and isn’t a link between Taiwan and Ukraine
How China’s silence on supporting Russia serves both sides
Why trade often trumps security concerns on China
How Germany’s role in Asia is limited
Why German diplomats are so impressed with China’s official lunch
