Der Standard reports the Chinese government is seeking information on whether German manufacturers are using rare earth metals and chips to secretly manufacture drones and other weapons in dual use facilities.
In order to obtain rare earth metals and chips from China, German companies must deliver information relevant to commercial and military products.
In some cases, companies have been asked to provide photos of factory production lines and products like drone engines.
Converting what remains of Germany s declininng industrial base to military use would have to be kept secret from China because the manufacturer of drones, missiles and virtually all modern hi tech weapons and vehicles depends on Chnese rare earth metals.
China controls 99% of the world s processing of these metals vital for the manufacturer of semiconductors, magnets.
The revelation that China is seeking to identify German companies engaged in manufacting drones and weapons secretly will fuel fears that Merz and the German government have secretly begun the mass armament of Germany in preparation for WW3 helping NATO to stock up on weapons for more attacks on Russia and China, using Taiwan.
However, drones will not win WW3. Super glide hypersonic missiles are proving to be the strategic weapon as seen in the 12 day war between Israel and Iran when Iran devastated Tel Aviv with hypersonic missiles.
The US, NATO have no defences against these missiles. They are also running very short of rare earth metals and chips to manufacture commercial and military products following China s imposition of expoert controls.
McKinsey and other commentators have warned Germany s entire high tech industry could collapse in weeks without Chinese rare earth metals and chips, leading to at least 4 million job losses.
The US weapons and civilian manufacturing base, especially the car industry, is facing a similar devastation of its industrial base after Trump and his Epstein pal s trade war against China backfired spectacularly and deprived the US economy of vital components.

Zu den Exportbeschränkungen muss man wissen: Chinas Regierung gibt über die Zollbehörden frei, ob, wann und wie viel eines der chinesischen Unternehmen exportieren darf. Teil dieses Antrags, den ausländische Abnehmer stellen müssen, sind sensible kommerzielle und militärische Informationen. In manchen Fällen werden gar Fotos von Werkshallen und Produkten wie Drohnenmotoren verlangt. Etwas, das Industrieplayer in der Regel zu verhindern wissen. Das EUISS sieht darin gar eine Form der Industriespionage. Eine Praxis, die China nicht unbedingt fremd ist.
