Germany has announced a new blueprint for relations with Asia, calling in particular for 'diversity' in its focus in the region. That's being interpreted as an effort to lessen its dependence on China. A move that would almost certainly have consequences for German businesses.

2:08 Using words like 'Big' without any context is meaningless.
What % of Chinas imports do Germany make up? That would have been a better and more educated answer.

Good call Germany. I think that the EU as a whole should push to be more of a unified block and not a plaything of the foreign powers to divide and share.

I’m glad that the EU has concluded that unbalanced trade policies are bad. Now, they can use that same logic and stop strangling African economies with unfair and destructive trade policies. Just a suggestion.

Yes let Germany welcome diversity. 
Diversity in business and economic  and government relationships. Don't rely on any superpower.  🤝👁

West countries are the last people to get out of fire... Japan, south Korea have been slowly shifting business from china to India and Vietnam for years now... only when pandemic came and China starts threatening then these countries react....all those wars and intelligence agencies for what exactly 🤦

Money has been talking and in the end, money will still talk. How can you separate the money from the word business?
