The arms of the Chinese security forces already reach far into democratic countries – including Germany.

Scholz in Beijing – short trip without strategy?

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will visit Beijing in early November. One thing is already clear: It will not be a trip that turns relations with China upside down. What is missing is a solidarity between the German government and the EU that could leave an impression on Xi.
