Summary/Abstract: Germany’s China strategy, published on 13 July, defines relations with the country in line with the EU’s approach, which is based on partnership, competition, and systemic rivalry. In showing a broad catalogue of the threats arising from Chinese policy, Germany’s strategy reflects an increasingly critical attitude of China. Among other things, it points to human rights violations that country and advocates reducing economic dependence on it. These measures, however, are to be accompanied by sustained political dialogue on key global issues.
