I don't see that Angela Merkel has the same bravery and determination as Trump when it comes to dealing with China.All she knows is to appease China.She even tells Europe not to regard China as a threat.I find it even more ridiculous than Trump not being called the most ridiculous politician in the world.
Given that China can't possibly militarily invade Europe since they are an entire continent apart, its no surprise Merkel doesn't regard China as an imminent threat right now, since unlike Russia, they don't even border any European country. Although the PRC's economic sway should be curtailed by any means neccessary, preferably through a total UN-wide embargo.
The PRC is however already interfering and undermining european stability and institutions altough they havent as nearly as far progressed as with Australia whom they could easily take apart.
