Will Germany’s policy changes towards Russia have a knock-on effect on its attitude towards China? To get the view from Germany, I’m joined by Berlin-based Noah Barkin (@noahbarkin), the managing editor of Rhodium Group’s China practice.

We discuss:

  • Whether Europe is pushing China to exercise its influence over Russia
  • How Ukraine has changed Germany’s attitude towards the military
  • Why the Polish president had to give new Chancellor Olaf Scholz a shake
  • The new “democracies versus authoritarians” paradigm
