Newsletter 2009/04/01 - Future ConflictsBERLIN/ULAAN BAATAR/BEIJING (Own report) - Just days before the NATOsummit, Germany is enhancing its position in Eastern Asia, with the objective of weakening China. To enhance its influence in the region,Germany is using Mongolia, whose prime minister visited Berlin for talks concerning an intensification of business and militarycooperation between the two countries. Already years ago, Berlin was saying that situated between Russia and China, Mongolia is in an"excellent position" in the "geostrategic power constellation", and that their efforts to resist Chinese influence must be supported. The German government and German businesses are now reinforcing their activities in the region. One of these businesses, the Deutsche BahnAG, is intervening in the sensitive sector of Mongolia's raw materials transport. The German Bundeswehr is stabilizing also its military cooperation with Mongolia's armed forces. Germany's growing influence is being accompanied by the renewed efforts of its NATO ally, the USA ,to reinforce the West's position in East and Southeast Asia. All of these activities are aimed at encircling China.
