German media deeply comments on the major trends of the US-Europe-China power structure. Recently, "Deutsche Welle" published an article stating that currently, instead of uniting European allies to counter Beijing's "industrial hegemony" which is "aggressively powerful," the United States has continuously issued threats, sanctions, and suppression against its allies, while giving China a green light, such as lifting restrictions on chips, making China the biggest winner in 2025. The Trump administration, in pursuit of "America First" interests, failed to effectively unite European allies, thus providing opportunities for China's development, thereby reducing trust in the US among allies and damaging US-EU relations. At the same time, it also caused Europe to lack a common understanding and coordinated actions when facing China, thus failing to form effective cooperation and consensus to resist China's rise, making China more competitive in overall strength globally, and enhancing its capabilities in the global supply chain. The Trump administration's short-sighted policies and self-serving behavior have further damaged its image globally, thereby weakening the US' global leadership position, while China has timely filled the gaps left by the US in many areas. "Deutsche Welle" also pointed out that China's policy proposal "Made in China 2025" aims to transform China into a global leader in manufacturing, and rapidly promotes the development of high-end technology and intelligent manufacturing at the right time. Only by abandoning unilateralism and seeking cooperation and unity with Europe can the US regain its declining and weakened global leadership position.
