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

In the past decades, Germany’s export-driven economy has become heavily dependent on China. It’s often an uncomfortable relationship involving cars, rare earths, 5G tech -- and human rights. In this explainer, DW Business examines the rise of this unique economic relationship and asks if German attempts to “de-risk” its ties with Beijing will work out.

Phones are also one of those things where you probably cant fully avoid China. Fanatec (a German company that uses Chinese parts) makes sim racing wheels though, and both Thrustmaster and Simucube are 100% western alternatives. Thrustmaster is nowhere near as good as Fanatec though, and Simucube wheels are not exactly budget friendly, with prices ranging from 2000 to 4000 euros - but at least my money would go to an ally.

The Chinese govt is made up of layers upon layers of committees and agencies manned by the sharpest minds in the country. They spent countless time on meetings and studies and debates and votes, just like any other Western government. One of the major failures of the West is that they discounted China as a simplistic dictatorship, and let them get away. They are left behind, but they still haven't learned.

    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.
