Germany's China Policy Criticised: Right Instinct, Wrong Tools
Original: Germany’s New China Policy: Right Instinct, Wrong Tools
Commentary is questioning Germany's new approach to China, arguing that Berlin's wariness of economic dependence on Beijing is justified but that the instruments chosen to reduce that risk are misguided. Critics say the policy conflates security concerns with blanket economic distancing, threatening German industry's access to a key market without delivering real resilience. Debate centres on how to de-risk rather than decouple from China.
Why now: Berlin's shift toward a harder line on China is prompting debate over whether its chosen policy tools will work.
