- 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.

I am surprised that Germany took so long to acknowledge that they shouldn't be relying on just one country for their manufacturing units of companies
Whole Europe, includes France, Italy, Spain, UK, Germany,....have been heavily relied on China.
Whole America continent (USA, Canada, South American countries) is the same.
Whole Africa is the same.
Whole Asia is the same.
. ....The whole world has been sleeping . It's the time to wake up .
Thats what u believe.
The reality is that the west has outsourced cheap child and slave labor to every poor countries out there.
In 2020 we were all really happy to have china as a trade partner. Also not every european partner is eager to see german leadership. The UK is even leaving the only club that could project some power to convince china into a partnership. But at the moment I guess UK in or out they got other issues over there than to project power on anybody.
They just saw money!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They need to wake up! Otherwise they will be 'owned' beyond return. If your over-reliant on China, you've lost your noodles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They did just see money, they are being urged to reverse matters before they cant.
As an American, I applaud Germany immensely for taking a stand against China. Hopefully the rest of Europe will follow in those footsteps.
Yeah, it's probably why the EU is pushing for federation. Federation will allow it to have greater say geopolitically and make better deals for the EU when they negotiate trade partnerships
BUSINESS ONE O ONE
DONT PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET
@ papyrus That's right. U.S. imperialism controlled Europe through financial and military forces. Europe is Europe for Europeans.
@@李苹果-m6r still a good initiative by Germany wouldn't u say
@@swapneelbehera260 true though it is a good idea for germany to actually take advantage of its own sphere of influence to push back against outside powers.
cause well, a german dominated EU will have its naibors interests in mind because every state around it is a buffer state, the USA however who cares if russia takes back its territory, just keep a stronger navy and they can't invade at all.
@@sonicmeerkat yep u r right but I was being sarcastic to the Chinese man.
Germany, pay for your sins, now is the time that you have to change your idiology on communism and welcome a free world.
Germany is too big for Europe, but too small for the world
The same applies to France as well, and that's where Europe comes into play.
@liam ekaf "strong pro-Europe EU. Not a US-puppet EU"
KEK! The EU has always been a puppet organization. I find it endlessly amusing that you fools think that your pathetic federation has ever been anything more than a game piece on the chessboard of modern geo-politics. Whats even more amusing is that you think your bureaucrats in Brussels have anyone's best interests except their own in mind!
@Joel Gawne The EU isn’t a federation 🤦
@@StarboyXL9 lol. You don't even know what you're talking about. Where are you from then? Enlighten us haha
@liam ekaf I highly doubt. different countries in EU have different benefit and they have different chooses. EU congress do not have right to ask any country to scarify their benefit for others, that is pain point.
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.
Greetings from Poland
My thoughts exactly...
Maybe poland should abide by the eu constitution and stop electing anti lgbt govt first
@@vorlon81 First of all, there is no such thing as EU constitution. The EU is not a state. Secondly, what on earth does electing anti-lgbt government to do with stronger cooperation between EU member states? Ideally, this should be completely free of ideology.
China-Central and Eastern Europe Summit
Then Poland and most of the other Eastern European countries would have to stop giving China more and more influence, if one more country switches to the side, your countries would have enough votes to block decisions against China or to partially paralyse the EU as a whole.
An example of what has already happened in recent years: Greece, Hungary and I believe Poland have blocked the human rights report on China or joint statements against China.
If these were to turn out badly, trade with China would have to be restricted.
Facts. More self sufficient regions with less trade to asia. Would be good
very proud of you Germany , this is the correct path.
Proud of Germany too.
Me too Mercedes is not German any more....you are joke of a country....
Looks like Germany is waking up to reality. Trade should be with multiple countries and not heavily with one country.
Which is country is even close to as success as China? I really want to know
China: Home of the wuhan virus.
Actually more likely spain, italy, or east coast USA is home of covid virus.
@OVERwhelmed no
@OVERwhelmed i can also say a city perhaps.
Good for Germany, this new policy is way past due.
@S WGermany is very smart, they know very well that the so called "strong" has been antogonizing itself against the rest of the world with bullying tactics and coronavirus. The "strong" is unrevealing and collapsing.
@S W your logic makes no sense. Clearly Germany is much smarter than you are. But totally cool, we can agree to disagree.
@S W Nope, and that's exactly why Germany will Not bow down to China, since China is already in decline, including technology. So we finally agree on something-)
@S W of course. Mainly because the US has been blocking high tech chip sales to China, without the US high tech semi-conductor chips, most so called "technologies" of China will not function properly. China has been launching rockets, satellites and missiles and they fall, and China doesn't even know where they fall. Also due to US sanctions of semi-conductirs and Android platform, , China's biggest smartphone company can no longer produce high end phone, only lower end. So Germany, being such slow acting and cnsrvative country, knows what it's doing. German technology is so much more advanced than China, trust me.
@S W yeah, and it's mostly stolen from the US, as they recently caughts lots of spies red handed, and that's the main reason behind the trade war, and that's why Trump has been tightening the regulations protection US intellectual properties. Germany see that too.

China is working for the benefit entire world while US lead forces conspiring and dragging her to wars .
@Sebastian Thor that's what i thought. Germany is one of US cronies. This move and news is a just political play to lower China's reputation in the world's eye. Since the US is feeling threaten as China emerging into a powerful nation as it is not a coalition of countries (plus with chaotic current government). EU is could be a so-called 'superpower' but not as much threatening because it composed of multiple countries with different governing ideology (look at the Brexit mess).
And hopefully where germany leads, Europe follows

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.
In Thailand Germanys cornflake here is cheaper than from US in half. Un believable!!!
Indeed. France is the big factor there.
As it was on the decision to destroy Libya.
The empire ideal and apparatus isn't dead in many modern European democracies that were once Empires. The more obvious ones with many signs are France and UK but you can still see in smaller ways in other Nations.
alex Lo It’s because they subsidize their industries and if Thailand does the same they retaliate. Then after destroying the domestic industries they claim that they feed you, when in actuality the other way around.

Boycott CCP, China for severe mismanagement of pandemic and creating havoc in every part of world
1. China allowed 5 millions people to go outside China without a single screening test for corona from 15 January 2020 onwards.
2. Domestic flights from Wuhan cancelled but not international flights.
3. China denied access to UN for investigation.
4. China denied access to corona patients and to the virus that they already had.
That took many days to understand virus.
Does World still need any other proofs??
5. 20 foreign journalist investigating corona pandemic expelled or forced to leave China in past 5 months. Our country's (Australian) Chris Buckley a highly regarded and experienced is one of them.
Don't talk about GDP when you don't have morality and truthfulness.
Relationships with China shall have to be endangered in the long run, if the dangers a rich China poses to democracy in the World are to be minimised!
China has never had any long-term plans to undermine democracy around the world like the way the US had against communism. At most they probably want to gobble up Taiwan and secure the South China Sea as their own backyard. That can be a problem for the US which keeps the world peace as the global policeman and her regional allies like Japan, but it really isn't a problem for Europe unless you take "European values" seriously in a world of realpolitik.

Diversify trades? Germany should start selling 800 million toilets made by Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen to India to improve their personal hygiene, instead of selling auto, machinery, high-tech tools, and chemicals to China! Wake up! German industrial prowess depends so much on exports to China. Germany is an export powerhouse, whereas China is a huge consumer market. In terms of symbiotic relationship between China and Germany, Asia is China and China is Asia! There is no other alternative market the size of China in Asia or elsewhere on Planet Earth. So, how do you diversify away to Mars?
This is the typical Chinese narration that exhibit outright arrogance if not ignorance. Such threat may works ten years ago, when Japanese, Korean and Europeans are lining up to enter China. Fast forward to the present, only the blind and foolish would still parrot such narrative and expect the rest of the world to buy it.

2. Cancelled the importation of Australian barley.
3. Blocked the importation of Australian wine (with unsubstantiated claims of dumping)
4. Cancelled the importation of Australian beef.
5. Blocked the importation of Australian wheat (with unsubstantiated claims of contamination).

I would not bet any money that Germany figures out the right thing to do. Don't get your hopes up.
The West got stuck in a false dilemma, which is GLOBALIZATION vs ISOLATIONISM. The true narrative, however, must be DEMOCRACY vs TOTALITARIANISM.
Look at what's going on in Britain, Europe, the USA. One doesn't have to be a 'stable genius' to see that China and Russia are in a joint venture to dismantle the West.
Western PUBLIC must open its eyes and wake up to the fact that we can't have it both ways - it's either cheap junk and gas from China and Russia, or FREEDOM for us and our children.
Read Churchill's timeless masterpiece called the "Iron Curtain" speech. It was true back then, and it is even more true today - the most effective western foreign policy ever, and the only TIME PROVEN WINNING RECIPE against totalitarianism, which China and Russia propagate worldwide:
"We cannot be blind to the fact that the liberties enjoyed by individual citizens throughout the United States and throughout the British Empire are not valid in a considerable number of countries, some of which are very powerful. In these States control is enforced upon the common people by various kinds of all-embracing police governments to a degree which is overwhelming and contrary to every principle of democracy. The power of the State is exercised without restraint, either by dictators or by compact oligarchies operating through a privileged party and a political police...
If the Western Democracies stand together in strict adherence to the principles of the United Nations Charter, their influence for furthering those principles will be immense and no one is likely to molest them. If however they become divided of falter in their duty and if these all-important years are allowed to slip away then indeed catastrophe may overwhelm us all."

@Harshit Kapoor India's Kashmir and Pakistan problem are far bigger than any of China's problems. Like it or not but CCP is the best at keeping stability and stability is the most important thing for business. Indonesia has problems with stability too but it is more industrialized and urbanised than India. Also, it is closer to current supply lines.
@Harshit Kapoor No one is caring for military capability. Russia has 6000 nukes but it doesn't make Russia an economic hotspot. India is unstable and rural. It doesn't mean it won't get any investments. It will get indeed but it isn't an alternative for ASEAN countries for a lot of businesses. There are some exceptions like IT sector. India has large and skilled IT workforce.
@Harshit Kapoor Bhai Kyu comment Kar raha hai yaha pe ,pls India Khudh ke Bal pe aage badehga ,we are proud to work and get ahead on our own . Jai Hind !
There’s no more trading with China!!!
There should be trading with China ... always! But we all have to re-evaluate our relationships with dictatorial regimes, and that applies in particular to China.
That means throwing away the profits German companies make from outsourcing. I don't see that happening. We aren't talking frying pots and blouses, the topics include battleships, submarines, satellites, and jets.
@Aedin Ridmash That's the past.
Do not merge your past with present and future.
Now he/she is talking about the future '
@@krollpeter You mean USA. The country that has been bullying, coercing and dictating to many nations to follow the US way or SANCTIONS coming their way.
@Aedin Ridmash mostly western or japanese/south korean companies. They can manufacture it somewhere else.
The PLA policy: seize before you cease.
Hi may i ask what this means? Thanks
@@chrislg4519 Means you should take everything before someone else comes and destroy you....
"Peace comes after piece".
And this means that the world peace could be achieved if the countries and territories that are illegally encroached by the Chinese (as their claimed territories) should be liberated from it's clutches and should be recognised and declared openly as free countries.
So, it's time for some Slice and dice, where China is the ultimate dish to be served.

A good economic policy, spread d blessings, try small nations 2 make trade..
Yeah man to make poorer nations that don't have our standards even poorer I like the idea
that's what obama did while he was in office, he moved chinese operations to smaller nations needing help, like oil and manufacturing
Human rights is more important than trade. Voice out for Xinjiang, Tibet, Hongkong & Taiwan.
@Handsome Squidward there is no such thing as east turkistan
So naive. China is a the workshop of the world.
Yes let Germany welcome diversity.
Diversity in business and economic and government relationships. Don't rely on any superpower. 🤝👁
@小熊维尼 yes thank you ! ❤🤝
Why anything happening domestically in China got anything to do with Germany?
Vietnam is glad to do business with you guys 😂
I'm happy to buy and use Vietnamese products. My uncles wouldn't understand since they're from the Vietnam war generation. I'm willing to put differences aside. My country did so with Germany. Why not with Vietnam? It would be better if Vietnam wasn't communist but that's the government they chose. They could be an ally in frustrating China's blatant imperialistic ambitions. It doesn't make any sense to deny trade with potential allies and at the same engage in trade with China who has been in conflict with the US and its allies overtly and covertly.
You guys too slow compare to china.

good for you, you are learning fast English
So, is it now official and explicit that Germany is the EU? They shamelessly switch between the words Germany & Europe when explaining policies. That kind of proves the Brexiteers' point...
It is the biggest economy in Europe so you are kinda right!
Good luck! Let Chinese consumers buy Chinese cars and sports shoes.
Maybe it's good to the world
Money talks... Nothing else matters. China had the money to stall germany
Funny thing is china doesn't want it own product because they are mostly low quality. The one that they used are the medium and high quality chinese product which not much because they built and manufactured it to fulfill the demand of western company for profit purpose
F Ananta classic answer, not so true anymore.
It would be a good news for Chinese car companies if Germany decided to ban the exports of German cars. Less competitions means more room to grow.
Wise up, Germany has no leverage with anybody, its export driven, therefore the buyers are in the driving seat.
Germany is not only exporting consumer products, but also production technology China is dependent on to keep growing.
are you saying those with resources are beholden to those who need their resources? that doesnt make sense
@@malikshakur1306 Yeah thats why the USSSR was so Powerful lwith al ltheir resources holding its satelites in order.
The GDR 5 Year Plan dependent on teh Russians actually providing ...oh wait they hadnt the technology. thats why Production was so low ... tehy couldnt get their stuff out of the ground.
Sandpiper... who do you think can afford to purchase German - made products ??? Which country do you think everyone is trying to sell the most to ??? How do you think Germany got along in the past without a relationship with China ???
So happy to hear that, i despise politics of money over suffering..
India welcomes German Indian relationship... Love to Germany from India
India is open for u our beloved Aryans Germany.
The west will come when India learn how to make western toilet until then Indians will continue trolling.
I hope that some day, Germany do this ethical issues to Saudis, Israel, ect.... human rights can be achieve
While Western businesses need China on some extent the thing to remember is that China needs them more then they need them, Chinas whole economy is focused on exporting goods.
"Chinas whole economy is focused on exporting goods."
As is Germany...
@@christophmahler yeah German cars, thats about it. Germany are absolutely still shitting themselves iver brexit, why because UK will no longer be forced into buying their cars.

Germany has made a wise move but I think they should more much more careful with China because time and again people keep thinking China is good despite it's actions not being covert.
While China promote growth the USA promotes Wars . Germany was made the scapegoats in EU n now it is so obvious to bow down to the USA pressures . It only show the cowardness of Germany to go against the USA line. China narratives are just excuses to please their Master .
Excellent news Germany. Right thing to do.
Salute and appreciate to Germany,,,,from Hongkongers,,,,
We Indians love Germans.. really very very proud country 👍👍👍
Good luck Germany will find a comparable market to China.
Probably why countries are doing what they can to shift to india, vietnam and bangladesh now so they can become a good alternative market later

Good decision 👍
Europe stands with diversity! the US should learn to cooperate with others on global issues, instead of dictatorship,
Europe is not standing on diversity but on blood and iron
Now I am going to call this.
Germany has dug 2 holes.
1. Russian dependent on energy
2. China dependent for trade
3. WWIII sees Germany destroyed so that none will ever even live in that space again.
WELL DONE GERMANS!
Good boys, huh? 🐕
@Steffen Bodar, I'm pretty happy Europe is no longer a dog that bites and destroys itself thanks to its master US, indeed. They should keep being good boys! 😘

No America is the problem also, Germany doesn't need china ir America
@@kamzamosweu2269 Thats not totally true, Germany has no need for trade agreements with any land but the econemy is driven by export into other countrys therefore wie defentely need someone to buy the german stuff but not particular USA or China. I hope this kind of diversity they were talin about in the video will actualy happen in thc next 5-30 years. Every investement is much more risk free with some grains of diversity :)
Alvin Duke don’t get me wrong, I’m no fan of American interventionism, but we have had 80years of relative geopolitical stability under American Hegemony. Think of the political ramifications of an isolationist America.
@@littlerockdoc3183 fr. No need to start hostility now especially between the people
Yes because we disapprove of Winnie the Pooh doesn't mean we approve of agent orange.
Well done Germany !! We all need to follow your example in the western world .
We have to lessen dependency on Chinese... To self reliance with equal opportunity to other countries too who in need of businesses than to one particular country
Like narrator said easier said than done lol, china offer cheap labor and raw material while other did not, business owner always goes for cheaper production, so unless some other country want to make their land a desolate ecological disaster wasteland it is highly unlikely the trend will change, unless you want to buy 1000 - 2.600 $ for each apple smartphone or maybe couple hundred bucks for a bucket and other utensils.
Good decision of Germany 🤟

It can also be interpreted as: Germany wishes to get rid of the influence of the United States over its military and foreign affairs, to be treated as equal by the US in particular
Mayank LKO LoL give Germany a break😂 the country just wants their citizens to have access to some good ole natural gas but their American overlords want to create a monopoly
The only diversity plan I agreed from Germany.
What does that mean?
