Despite calls to scrap planned Chinese investment in Hamburg, the city’s ex-mayor wants it to go ahead.

An investigation by German regional public broadcasters reported Wednesday that Scholz’s chancellery is pushing to approve efforts by Chinese state-owned shipping giant Cosco to buy a foothold in a container port in Hamburg, ignoring warnings from six federal ministries, including the Greens’ Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, amid fears of risky economic over-dependence on Beijing.

    Germany’s biggest mistake in the last 10 years was to follow America in starting conflicts with Russia. Maybe they have learned their lesson and do not want to repeat the same mistake with China.
