Angela Merkel"s government facilitated access for China to advanced German technology, according to reports. One significant instance involved the sale of Kuka, a leading producer of industrial robotics, to a Chinese firm. Kuka was recognized as one of the largest and most advanced robotics manufacturers globally.

This development has raised concerns regarding the implications of such technology transfers for Germany and Europe. Merkel, who was once viewed favorably by the press and the European Union for her centrist approach, is now facing criticism for these actions.

As previously reported, similar situations involving technology access and international relations continue to unfold across Europe. For instance, recent developments in France highlight the challenges faced by European leaders in maintaining public trust amid complex geopolitical dynamics.

The ramifications of these technology transfers remain a topic of discussion among policymakers and analysts.
