Eine Zeitenwende ist in der deutschen Chinapolitik nicht erkennbar. Anstatt reaktiver Handlungsprinzipien braucht es jetzt eine Debatte über die zukünftigen Ziele der deutsch-chinesischen Beziehungen, so @NGodehardt @SWP_Asia in einer neuen SWP-Studie. swp-berlin.org/publikation/di…

THE US MILITARY IS MADE IN CHINA That figure is from a serious Pentagon-commissioned report: "The report was issued by Arlington, VA-based Govini which was awarded a five-year $400 million contract from the Pentagon in 2019 to deliver data, analysis and insights into DoD spending, supply chain and acquisition" Below are links to the report itself[1,2] and the popular writeup of it[3,4]. A few key graphs follow. 1) First, here's a hi-res version of the graphic above. It shows that US air-launched armaments are highly dependent on Chinese suppliers: 2) That's because there are tens of thousands of Chinese suppliers in US supply chains. It's very hard to figure out what's actually dependent on China because it might also be your supplier's supplier. 3) The report also says Chinese supply chain dependencies are present in every major weapons platform, including US aircraft carriers: I don't think people have yet thought through the implications of trying to fight your factory, namely China. And this isn't something that can be solved overnight, or even in a decade. Because a "supply chain" at this scale is an entire economy, as it's a network of many firms that all buy and sell from each other. Anyway, read the reports and judge for yourself.
