EU-China Relations and the Future of Multipolarity. What Is Germany’s Choice?

... developments around Ukraine, but did not lead to satisfactory results for the EU. Given that the pan-European line is acquiring a distinct protective character, it could be amended by the member states that are the stakeholders of the dialogue, primarily Germany. The government of Olaf Scholz was destined to make unplanned strategic decisions regarding all the main partners outside the EU — the USA, Russia and China.

Merkel’s Legacy, as Seen From Russia
