  "account": "Berlin has heard proposals from French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for a tougher trade policy against China. However, the Chinese Commission of the German Bundestag is pushing for even more drastic measures to make the German economy independent from China through state measures. The Federal Government should conduct annual \"geoeconomic stress tests\" with associations and key companies, including crisis plans for a \"Taiwan blockade\" - in case China tries to cut Taiwan off from foreign trade. This comes from a commission report obtained by the Handelsblatt. The background is China's attempts to regain control over Taiwan, which it considers part of its territory and has threatened to reclaim by force. Germans are concerned that resulting EU sanctions against China could put Germany's economy in a bind, given its dependence on the People's Republic.",
