Germany's First National Security Strategy Targets Growing Threats from China and Russia.

Germany has released its first national security strategy, which highlights China as a growing threat to global security due to its aggressive claims of supremacy in Asia and use of economic might to achieve political goals. The strategy includes a commitment to raising defence spending and creating an agency to fight cyberattacks, as well as measures to reduce dependencies on other countries for commodities and incentivise companies to hold strategic reserves. However, the document does not prioritise which threats to fight or contain any major surprises, and omits some major issues such as Taiwan.
