  1. China is doing two major strategic things: first - it makes itself independent from foreign technology; second - it tries to get control over all the world major economic sectors. Basically they looked at what industries would be important in the near future and went all in into those sectors. Solar energy, wind turbines, carbon fibre, electric cars are among those things. They also have quite a beneficial rare resources like lithium and rare earth metals which are crucial in the green transition. Steinmeier have said recently that Germany is going to make it's policies more independent from the US, that it'll start to take on more responsibilities and so on. So it's all going to change. I also remember in 2013 a start of negotiation process for mutual investment agreement between EU and China, that was when Britain didn't agree with the German approach and decided to go the separate way, and that was also when protests in Ukraine have started. From my own pespective it looks like Britain decided to make more financial approach with China, while Germany decided to leverage it's manufacturing. Many luxury BMW models and all electric ones are only made in China now, and were (not sure how it's done now) sent to Europe via train. I think that neither russia, nor the US liked this increased integration between EU and China. I also think that China is doing exactly the same thing with it's technology as russia was doing with it's cheap energy and control over logistics, they are just run by the same leninist ideology.

  2.  @wolfgangrenner4152  Do you think that Deutsche Arbeitsfront was better than regular trade unions?

  3.  @wolfgangrenner4152  They want to obtain total political control over the whole world via economic means. That's why I've brought up leninism, Karl Marx didn't finish his volume on politics. Despite the fact that their politycal system is leninist they kind of extrapolated his political tactics to economics. It's now not just value, what is defined by their party, they also want to obtain control over all crucial technologies while pretending to be a fair player.
