Xi Jinping verfolgt knallharte Interessen: die Formung einer Welt mit China an der Spitze. Deutschland spielt derzeit dabei nur eine nützliche Nebenrolle. Das zu erkennen, sollte uns nicht frustrieren, sondern motivieren! Wenn wir Schlüsseltechnologien, Infrastruktur und Digitalisierung vorantreiben, Entscheidungen in Politik und Wirtschaft beschleunigen und vor allem zwei Verhaltensweisen ablegen: unsere Unentschlossenheit und unser Harmoniedenken – dann können wir wieder Verhandlungspartner auf Augenhöhe werden.

Instead, we must look beyond the Chinese state, to non-state actors from China.
