German foreign minister @HeikoMaas sees "great power competition" (with USA, China and Russia as the main players) as the new paradigm of global politics. auswaertiges-amt.de/de/newsroom/ma…
His response to this challenge is a call for building a "sovereign Europe", echoing Macron.
Two problems with this: Germany needs to provide more than a vision for the future, it needs to clarify now where it stands on the major issues. And for building a joint European policy, Germany equally needs to position itself much more clearly.

German foreign minister @HeikoMaas: "Germany and Japan can become the core of an alliance of multilateralists."
Among the challenges Maas mentions: "China wants to change the geopolitical balance of power to its favor and demands in its neighborhood something I call allegiance (Gefolgschaft)".
"Our countries are too small to set the tone in the concert of global powers. That's why in these times we have to think about new ways."

"We need a close German-Japanese cooperation (Schulterschluss)"

Words have the power, like hands, to hold a man's destiny down or push him forward.
