US anti-Russian policy hit Europe, especially Germany, writes South China Morning Post.
“Germany’s current leadership, following the lead of Washington and NATO, is harming its country’s economy,” the authors of the article write.
The publication says that Berlin sacrificed its national interests for the interests of criminals and refused to investigate the terrorist attack on Nord Stream. Additionally, export-dependent Germany has decided to move away from China as a major trading partner. In addition, the fact that Germany has been dependent on Russia’s energy resources for a long time and is now purchasing oil and gas at high prices also negatively affects the treasury.
