China im Jahr 2025 wieder wichtigster Handelspartner Deutschlands (Destatis)
|
|
|
Mit einem Außenhandelsumsatz (Summe der Warenexporte und -importe) von 251,8 Milliarden Euro war die Volksrepublik China im Jahr 2025 wie bereits im Zeitraum von 2016 bis 2023 wieder Deutschlands wichtigster Handelspartner. Wie das Statistische Bundesamt (Destatis) mitteilt, löste China damit die USA ab, die 2024 der wichtigste Handelspartner Deutschlands waren. Die Vereinigten Staaten belegten 2025 wieder Rang 2 mit einem Außenhandelsumsatz von 240,5 Milliarden Euro. Während der Warenhandel mit China gegenüber dem Vorjahr um 2,1 % stieg, nahm der Handel mit den Vereinigten Staaten um 5,0 % ab. Dies lag vor allem an den weiter steigenden Importen aus China sowie den gleichzeitig sinkenden Exporten in die USA. Nach China und den USA folgten auf Rang 3 der wichtigsten Handelspartner die Niederlande mit Exporten und Importen im Gesamtwert von 209,1 Milliarden Euro (+3,3 %)....

IMF Urges Beijing To Curb Industrial Subsidies As Flood Of Chinese Goods Crushes Global Industrial Bases
China's factory overcapacity is the result of Beijing's long-running industrial policies. Years of state support have built more factory capacity than domestic demand can absorb in the world's second-largest economy, flooding global markets with low-priced goods, from EVs to TVs. The end result is a growing risk of hollowing out industrial bases worldwide, and our latest example this week has washed up on Europe's shores in the form of EVs.

January registrations of Chinese EVs across Europe were certainly eye-opening, signaling the decline of Europe's industrial base (read the note here). As Anduril Industries founder Palmer Luckey recently warned, "China would love to wipe out the American automotive industry, partly for economic reasons, because it also me...

How Bhattacharya's NIH Is Rethinking China, DEI, And High‑Risk Labs
Authored by Jeff Louderback, Jan Jekielek via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
For decades, scientists have looked at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as an agency that publishes papers, according to Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.

Under President Donald Trump's second term, the emphasis for NIH funding has shifted to “provable, testable hypotheses, not ideological narratives,” he said, which is resulting in widespread reforms to the agency.
Bhattacharya, who obtained both a doctorate in economics and a medical degree from Stanford University within three years of each other, outlined changes that the NIH has implemented in his first year as the agency's director and talked about his vision for the next three years in an interview with Epoch Times Senior Editor Jan Jekielek.
The NIH has been inst...

Watch: Iran, Russia, China Joint Drills Kick Off In Crowded Waters As NOTAM Issued
The previously reported Iran-Russia-China joint naval drills have kicked off Thursday in Iran's increasingly crowded southern waters, as the United States continues expanding its military presence in the Arabian Sea.
Iranian Navy Rear Admiral Hassan Maqsudlu has made it clear that part of the purpose of the exercise is to "prevent any unilateral action in the region" - a clear challenge to Washington and the Trump-ordered ongoing Pentagon build-up of aerial and naval assets in the region. Iranian state TV has made it a point to widely publicize the drills, given it has Russia in its corner. Watch:
The joint Iranian-Russian naval exercise in the Northern Indian Ocean has entered its main phase, including counter-terrorism and tactical formations, according to Iranian State TV. https://t.co/rKoxUFP0Zx pic.twitter.com/3HyhW0lSlN
