39:47Now PlayingGermany’s incoming government will face a geopolitical nightmare from Day 1. Stuck between an aggressive Russia, a hostile White House, and a China whose carmakers threaten to decimate Germany’s biggest industry. Can likely Chancellor Friedrich Merz handle all these problems at the same time? In this edition of Berlin Briefing, Richard Walker jumps into the Germany-China-US dynamic with Andrew Small of the GMF think tank and DW’s Melissa Chan joining from Taipei. Can Germany cooperate with the US on China while Donald Trump is in attack mode against Europe? Can Europe stay united on China? And can Germany wean its whole economic model off a dependence on Beijing that looks more precarious than ever?
