Lab puppies are objectively unbearably adorable.

• German officials are quietly mapping China's economic weak points - the sectors where Beijing still leans on European and German technology - to build leverage if a trade war breaks out.
• The effort follows China's late-July export controls on 14 EU firms and its tightening grip on rare earths and battery materials.
• Berlin wants options, not an immediate fight: contingency plans, stockpiles, alternative suppliers, and backing for EU trade-defence tools like the never-used Anti-Coercion Instrument.

...

Berlin's move dovetails with a broader shift in Brussels. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said the EU will "use every tool" to counter China's grip on critical raw materials, insisting that "all instruments in our toolbox" are on the table. The most potent of those tools, the Anti-Coercion Instrument - a "trade bazooka" that lets the EU hit back with tariffs, procurement bans and intellectual-property restrictions - has sat unused since it was created in 2023. Deploying it would require member states to agree not just on the trigger but on the aftermath: emergency support for hit industries, shared stockpiles and alternative suppliers.

...

Germany spent a generation betting that commerce with China would stay separate from geopolitics. That bet is over. Quietly cataloguing Beijing's vulnerabilities is a defensive move dressed as a technical one - an admission that trade is now a domain of coercion, and that Europe's largest economy no longer expects to be spared. The open question is whether Berlin's map becomes a deterrent that keeps the peace, or the opening move in the very trade war it is preparing for. Either way, the era of German caution toward China is closing, and the rest of the EU - which needs Berlin's weight behind any collective response - is watching to see how far it will go.
