> Cosco Shipping Ports last year agreed to buy 35 per cent of Tollerort, a container terminal in Hamburg, from logistics company HHLA for €65mn.

$65m doesn't seem worth jumping into bed with that mate for.

Hey Germany remember that fantastic natural gas deal you did with Russia? How’s that going?

German here. It feels like our politicans are just selling our future for "access to markets". Gas pipelines, this terminal, strategic companies, IP and knowhow. Everything for access to markets.

Fine as long as these deals are not made with people who never hold their promises.

I will never understand this.
