The strategy, eagerly awaited by politicians and businesses across Europe, will signal that Germany is not naive and aims to protect its own resilience and security. A draft version of the strategy from last year criticized China for human rights violations and proposed stress tests for companies to prove they are not overly dependent on Beijing.
