Can Germany's pivot to Asia end its reliance on...China? | Berlin Briefing Podcast

Germany is looking for new partners in Asia. As Chancellor Friedrich Merz travels to Singapore, Japan and South Korea, Berlin is trying to reduce its economic dependence on China while adapting to a changing global order. But can countries in the Indo-Pacific, besides China, help Germany diversify its trade and security partnerships?
This week on Berlin Briefing, DW’s Giulia Saudelli speaks with DW Business Reporter Steven Beardsley and DW Chief Political Correspondent Nina Haase, who is traveling with the chancellor.
They discuss Germany's push to "de-risk" from China, growing security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, and whether middle powers can work together to shape the future global order.
