Deutsche Welle TV channel has a wonderful high-quality Documentaries series on the main Political, Scientific and Cultural issues of current times. The one I share here today is one such piece.

I recommend friends to pay close attention to what is disclosed - up to what is possible... - about the Chinese industrial complex and how some Western European countries - Germany included - have become excessively dependent on it for the supply of industrial goods... Even simple Antibiotics pills to treat a child's pneumonia. Plus there are other interesting insights about the complex interdependence of some industrial supply chains critical for competitiveness, industrial and commercial edge.

It is not clever to believe in the 'good will' of the natural virtue of Liberal Markets Economic policies when the other side of the trade does not abide by the rules. Do these values be 'blackmailed' in the name of some 'commercial edge'. Even for Liberals, perhaps No... China’s New World Order - How dependent is the West? | DW Documentary https://lnkd.in/dfm2ppNJ
