Germany's China Shock: Navigating Economic Dependence and Geopolitical Risks with Noah Barkin

Host Wenchi Yu speaks with Noah Barkin — senior advisor at Rhodium Group and author of the popular “Watching China in Europe” newsletter — about the rapidly shifting landscape of Germany's relationship with China.

From factory floors in Anhui to 5G towers in Hamburg, the choices Germany makes about China will shape not only its future, but Europe's.
