Germany has blamed China for a “serious” cyber attack in 2021 on its government agency for precision mapping, which potentially exposed sensitive information vital to protecting critical infrastructure. German interior minister Nancy Faeser on Wednesday condemned the Chinese state actors responsible “in the strongest possible terms”. The German foreign office summoned the Chinese ambassador in Berlin for a formal complaint.
Independent cyber security experts in 2021 had pointed to Beijing’s likely involvement, identifying the digital fingerprints of groups known as APT15 and APT31 — both known to be sophisticated, established hacking groups run directly by the Chinese Ministry of State Security.

The sheer irony of equating US and Chinese leaders in your closing line.
Still baffled by their continued insistence to do business with China.

Seems like they don’t have other options (besides taking massive short-term losses and making painful structural changes)

"For now, German big business is still able to convince politicians that what is good for them is good for other segments of the German economy. But soon enough, the corporatist spell will surely break under the pressure of conflicting claims from labour and smaller businesses. That will shake the foundations of German politics, for Scholz’s own Social Democrats more than anyone"
