Lol just realized however the election in Germany goes down, Germany's next chancellor is virtually certain to be in the pro-China camp. Laschet, as you guys know, is pretty pro-China (or at least in favor of Merkel's continued China policy). Markus Soder is right now more likely to be Chancellor than Laschet is at the moment, and guess what: Soder is even more pro-China! In fact, he's arguably one of the most pro-China politicians in Germany. Never forget when
to Germany's market
Never heard Soder's position on China, any info? His carnival costimes are hilarious though.
Only Röttgen I am sure that anti-China, the guy's too much into transatlantic partnership, Biden digs that thing.
Mertz will claim "transatlantic" as well, but if his equity-based pension come online, no way he would dare poking Chinese-German commerce, their exchange will blow into smithereens, while their economy is the best in the EU, ain't no way they can survive trade war with China.
The annoying parties surprisingly might be SPD or Greens. Greens somehow are hawkish transatlantic and SPD might move to neocon like Labour in the UK.
Interesting time ahead
