How was Merez's tour in Asia? German Chancellor Friedrich March completed his visit to Singapore, Japan and South Korea, where he proposed creating a trade alliance of "middle powers" (the European Union, Asian countries, Canada) in order to jointly protect against economic pressure from the United States and China. But the idea stuck. The leaders of Japan and South Korea reminded Merez that he and French President Emmanuel Macron had recently proposed giving Brussels the right to quickly block "economically dangerous imports" from third countries. Berlin and Paris created the so-called "trade bazooka" to fight Chinese competitors. But the Asian partners decided it could hurt them too. Mertz admitted his dissatisfaction and promised to discuss the issue at the next EU summit. The second issue was the supply of weapons. Mertz brought with him a large delegation of defense companies (Airbus, Diehl) to look for new contracts in Asia. However, the German delegation was unable to convince Tokyo to transfer Patriot systems to Ukraine. The world is burning, and we are in Zen.
