The China Challenge -- de-risking ties with an economic colossus | DW Business 

human right violation in Hong Kong and Xinjiang but no human right violation in Gaza gotit🤔

Germany is NOT at the table of the US, but on its menu 😂😂😂

Shame on Germany. And this is from a German.

Reporter didn't even bother to say "alleged supression." Spoke with so much confidence.

As a sovereign nation, every country has the right to make its own decisions, you need to be a sovereign nation first though 😂

but first question is why GERMANY wants to quit CHINA? Do you have a better option? was it because the USA force you to quit CHINA OR the its most benefits for GERMANY Itself?

DW always makes me feel its an American media.

Translation: when trade favors the West, it is good. When the scales tilt, well then we must decouple and bring up abuses we ourselves have committed throughout history and point to a record no other group of nations can compete with.

Such hypocrisy mentioning the alleged human rights violations yet, those same Critics turn a blind eye to the murder and suffering of Palestines in Gaza. Especially the children of Gaza numbering well over 4000 murdered and not even counting those who are injured and suffering.

They accuse companies like Huawei and TikTok but they provide no proof. To accuse without proof is called slander.

Cheap energy from Russia, numerous customers in China. Both have been lost. Lets see the next magic trick.

Germany should think a question why the media discuss the topic of quitting China.

If Germany is looking for alternatives, "The next China, will be China"

"Xinjiang .... home to 12 million Uyghurs, an ethnic group that suffers suppression by the Chinese governmenr. " How is it possible that the population increases from 8.34 million in 2000 to 12 million in 2020 if they suffer suppression as this reporter has alleged?

the prosperity of the German economy is based on two major factors : cheap russian gas and the colossal and lucrative chinese market , imagine if germany lose these two resources

You do know Xinjiang is open to visitors right?

Because Germany is on the wrong side of the history "again"

MSM saying bad things about Xinjiang but never going there to investigate themselves. When you youtube and see citizen journalist going to Xinjiang, all you see are happy people and a well developed region. Meanwhile Gaza..... What has happened to professional journalism?

I am from hk, it doesnt matter if i am pro or against China. What do you mean by "democratic taiwan"? Is DW partly or wholly funded by the german government?

The question you should be asking: Why should Germany or any other country quit China? To please the US Empire? At least US has a reason to fight and china, i.e. to contain china and remain a sole global superpower but what reason does Germany have to fight China other than becoming a sacrificial lamb for the US against its fight of dominance against China?

When the US says jump, Germany jumps.

Xinjiang? You should worry more about the US backed Israeli genocide in Gaza.

German is already on the Menu.... according to blinken

DW truly going around in circles with no idea what is going on.

The so-called de-risking is now in vogue, but what risk is there? As regards the various accusations against China, have the accusors got any proof to validate them?

What is more important to Germany? Follow the leadership of the US to its deadend in its so called human right? Or its own road to prosperity of Germany.

Principles and ethics are great until they start to eat into your bottom line

My question is why Germany has to quit China, Can Germany quit the US ?

What about the Palestinians suffering from Israeli occupation?

the ww2 war criminals are holding high moral ground

Due diligence is not compatible with capitalist greed.

It's funny how EVERY time China is mentioned you always hear the words. "Human rights violations". I wish for once they would actually explain which one they are referring to exactly... It feels like, If you don't mention it, the RU-vid algorithm will label your video as pro-China and throttle your video so it doesn't get recommended so much.

No relationship can survive self destruction

The German Chamber of Commerce in China currently has more than 2,100 member companies and is the official association of German companies in China.

You either choose ideology or economy. Ideology will cost you, like it costs everyone. It’s weird how fast people sacrifice their values if it means they get poorer.

You sure about how that relationship will endure? Asking, because I think we are slowly being prepared to decouple to please America.

Germany is on the downward spiral, from high energy cost, US trade sanctions, high inflation, jobless, budget deficit , war and losing competitive market in China.

China is now the most mature and competitive platform in the world, not just a pure market or factory. You can leave this platform for various reasons, but you may be abandoned by the trend of history.

Germany needs China more than China needs China. China's economy is rather intertwined with the US though both are slowly decoupling.

Human Rights? Have you been to Xinjiang? The GDP per capita is higher than the national average.

This video is like an off-tune-singalong, with little substance. Do let me know about Germany's challenges and how to overcome them instead of parroting the other side of the Atlantic spiel on human rights. I wish more for more thoughtful content. perhaps, it is asking for too much.

DW: Why Germany can't quit China? Addiction Center: China is highly addictive and giving up can be very difficult. Professional support is vital to overcome China addiction and to remain addiction free.

no human right violation in HK or Xinjiang

Germany is a country based on a monotheistic religion. Ordinary Germans living in it have no idea why a country that separates politics and religion is doing this in Xinjiang. They only know that it seems to be depriving them of their freedom to believe in religion, but they do not know that Islam itself has It has a very stubborn tendency to integrate politics and religion.

I am waiting for DW anti-China spin....

Your Colonial Master will force you to...

"cars, rare earths, 5G tech -- and human rights" I agree that those are basically our priorities, in that order, if the dash (-) stands in for "profits".

being an obedient follower to another country by abandoning cheap Russian gas is already damaging enough for the economy and the ordinary people, if you are brainless for the second time by decoupling ('de-risking' is just a more flowery word) with China ,it's suicidal ..

USA: Germany needs to be independent in energy sector, not to depend on Russia and China. Germany: but then who will trade with us for energy and resources. USA: empty air 🤷‍♂️

We all need each other

Fanatec: Id love to buy your wheels if you find western sources for your parts (as opposed to China). Ideally German, as Germany is known for the best quality products in the world. Hats off to Germany 🥰

Why dw not working in the intrested of the german people?

Germany is a democracy? Why it doesn't put the interest of its people first, but rather serve the interest of US. Or I am reading the wrong dictionary?

Good analysis

Since when dominating in a foreign market has become a shortcoming and abandoning a foreign market is seen as a wise decision? 😂

De risking - decoupling only shows they fear China. 😢😢

I guess the title should be why should German quit China.

The post-WTO entry celebration is over. For years both sides operated on faulty assumptions. The West thought that trade would lead to a more democratic China. It didn't (at least not as they expected). China thought that as it grew trade relations and economic clout, that it would get respect and that other powers would somehow turn a blind eye as they expanded their regional domination. They too were disappointed. The honeymoon is over. Talk about "decoupling," "friendshoring" and "de-risking" are fun talking points, but the relationship of mutual reliance is still there. There may be realignment, but those who expect an abrupt rupture of ties are also going to be let down. It's time to just go to the post-honeymoon phase of the relationship.

For Germans or anyone mistaking Xinjiang for Gaza in terms of 'Genocide' and thinking of moving to the next China.... That could well be Western China which Xinjiang is part of. Go look at how it is rapidly developing with the same manufacturing prowess (and discipline) shown over the decades by the coastal provinces. Western China can make widgets at triple the speed and 75% the cost of anyone in India. 😂

The caption is a total fallacy. A more accurate description is that PRC has been serving for the past 2 decades plus a good comfort zone for German enterprises.

If you really care for the people in Xinjiang, you should welcome investment in Xinjiang to provide jobs for the people. Yet, you penalize companies that invest in Xinjiang or hire people from Xinjiang. So what is the real motive?

Where there are sugars, there are ants.

Germany says India to Stop trade with Russia, but don't stop trade with China,

How did Germany get into this situation?

“Change through trade” is not a policy, but and excuse for business vested interests

Forced labour? Hold on.. You provide free money to your ppl in Germany without doing a job?

A relationship with a toxic narcissist is better than no relationship at all - debate.

History has taught us: when you make friends with China 🇨🇳, it always takes advantage of you.

relationship between Germany and USA: ally, competitor and father; lol

Good old manipulation tactic if China violating human right than just pull out completely. There so much labor back in Germany why china? Oh right profit, you know CEO and shareholder need the money more than anyone.

I very much want to be a forced labour, if the pay is reasonable.

German media feels like watching American media, independent power?

De-tieing with an economic colossus that's your largest buyer is a major risk

Opine, the entire Germany Chemical Industry may not be able to produce nor to manufacture a majority of its chemical products again inside Germany, due to environment issues & cost, except only inside PRChina. Would think, there can be no pulling back / reduction of German chemical manufacturing activities already established inside PRChina, except to increase further capacity and investments.

It's complicated.i can feel for German

The second largest economy and the third largest economy. To not work together is a mistake but if one can survive without the other fine.

If it weren't for China's unprecedented economic growth that the US can't cope, Germany might have suffered the same as Japan's lost decade in the invisible hegemonic hands of the US

This is a simple story about some unappreciated individuals who thinks that they are too good for their biggest customer, China. They tried to ban the it but they are soon realised that they need to eat too

Is German the dessert....between 2 diners US and China...who's on the menu?

The 2 economies are tightly linked.

show us the hard evidence of suppression!

When politics starts talking of where, what and to whom you will buy and sell, you may as well close your shop.

3:13 So YOU get to change countries through trade ? How dare u

And what about reliance on Russia?

What happened to democracy, freedom, and Human Rights? All talk no substance...... Germany's a joke 😂😂

An excellent work. Thanks a lot

Did Germany ever want to leave China? What’s this title even mean ?

I guess one can substitute "Germany" with "Europe". Germany just being the largest economy in Europe.

technical remark: the jump zoom cuts are annoying. stop playing hollywood and please focus on the news

How unlucky we hear such pack of lies to smear. Shame of this woman

It was all good until 2016

Because of lost in competition .. The main reason Germany+U$A come up with "XingJiang forced labour " story . From an expert never even been to China.

How does one exit a market with 1.4 billion people and substantial buying power? Such decisions often rest in the hands of politicians, driven by the need for votes and political considerations within the governing board

The language is so well crafted, but wait until Taiwan is invaded and all that economic dependency of carefully crafted terminology would go out of the windows for Germany, in the same way that lifting sanctions against Russia is impossible.

Germany can also leverage the Chinese influence to its advantage. There are many smart Germany there.

American daddy blamed you again?

Germany should strengthen cooperation with US.

China and Europe have traded for thousands of years and will continue to do so 1000 years in the future. This is just business as usual, as both want a better deal for themselves.

China and Germany has the same approach in economy. But in different ways. China is not really an state controlled economy but an Oligarchic controlled economy the same with Germany. It's free market economy is also controlled by Oligarchic system. But it is hard to notice it.

China’s political system is different from West or multiparty system. It doesn’t mean China is Autocracy. This is too much of western thinking. They have actually Meritocracy. No one can go up without performance of public sevice thru party lane.
