Germany Calls China's Rare Earth Policies Making It an Unreliable Partner: Strengthening Defenses Needed
Germany says that China's rare earth policy makes it an unreliable partner and strengthens prevention. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on June 15, although a framework agreement was reached during the Sino-US talks in London, temporarily easing everyone's concerns, China's behavior of arbitrarily manipulating trade partners by using rare earth as a weapon during negotiations has made Germany cautious when trading with China. Germany must not put all its raw material needs in China and should keep a backup plan.
What is the intention behind Germany making such remarks just before Scholz's visit to China? When the US banned Huawei, stopped supplying high-end chips to China, and used ethane as a weapon, Germany did not worry, but now China's slight countermeasures make it unreliable. It would be better to have more such situations in the future so that Germany gradually adapts to China's unreliability.
