The document signals a policy shift away from the business-focused approach taken by previous governments, and towards a \u201cde-risking\u201d of ties with China. It also reframes the relationship by stressing elements of competition and even rivalry, based on the perception that Chinese authoritarianism is becoming a threat to Germany and its role in the world. Instead of seeking to transform autocracies through engagement, the new approach is much more about shoring up Germany\u2019s own system."}
