Seriously most German investment into China is in the car industry and BASF. The first is basicly destroying all hope of Germany managing the green transition in the energy sector by lobbying, so activly make Germany worse. BASF is even worse. The last big operation they did was financing the NordStream pipelines, develop gas fields in Russia, while signing massive gas deals with Gazprom. When all of these blew up with the war in Ukraine, the managment was extremly helpfull to Putin by spreading Kremlin propaganda in Germany and the entire EU.
In other words, the pain to the German economy from something like this, would massivly help Germany in the long term.
And let me guess, must become ever closer allies with the United States.
Funny how all this EU democratic “plurality,” “democracy,” “tolerance,” all leads to one inexorable conclusion — America should rule the World.
You realize that there is significant drive in the EU to become less dependent on the US? They are trying to bring chip building over here and there are even efforts to build an EU army so that the US doesn't have leverage here
America is guilty of everything they accuse China of. It's projection.
I hate america as much as every sensible person does but america has concentration camps, locking people up solely because of their religion, rapes the women, steals their organs, arrests people who report it, brutally beats down protesters and have elected their dictator for life? I mean I al sure america rapes inmates in their torture camps, I doubt they steal their organs and do all the other stuff
How many countries have America invaded? How many have China invaded?
Tibet, Vietnam.....
Lots of other countries are afraid of an invasion in south east Asia, at minimum a seizure of their fishing territories and waters.
Currently we are discussing a possible invasion of Taiwan.
Oh there's also the modern border conflicts with India and the Sino-Indian war in 1962 and flare ups since.
All of which is to say, don't mistake an inability to project power outside of their region with an unwillingness to be an imperialist bully. China was involved in the Mali war with the UN, and were a Chinese company to have it's investments in insert African or Latin American country threatened by a "socialist" government nationalizing it they would be just as likely to pull the same BS as the US did in Latin America in the 20th century if they could actually project power there.
Currently we are discussing a possible invasion of Taiwan.
Possible invasions are not as bad a actual invasions where Americans have destroyed entire cities in the middle east and forced millions of people to become refugees.
