Germany ignores Chinese atrocities because it sells more cars to the Chinese that way. Germany only cares about her commercial interests and nothing else. The problem is that she is forcing the whole of the EU to tolerate Chinese atrocities in all areas, human rights, trade, geopolitics thus destroying all the soft power the EU has been slowly building for decades and burning all the bridges between the EU and the US. Germany is extremely perfidious and duplicitous as a country and has no sense of shame to speak of, how could it after all she did the past century anyway. All the things she is doing today just look like a walk in the park to her.
Within a
single month the German Foreign ministry has made the following announcements:
1) "No arms sanctions to Turkey because we need to coordinate with Joe Biden", when confronted with the fact that the US has already imposed arms sanctions, then Heiko Mass doubled down saying:
2)
"Turkey was right to buy Russian missiles and should not be punished by the US for it".
3) When Macron demanded 'strategic autonomy' for common EU action to safeguard the EU's own borders,
Germany then said "sorry we cannot do anything without the US and must wait for Biden".
When confronted by the US on its new trade deal with the Chinese that took place days before Biden becomes President in order to be a "fait accompli", Germany said:
"Sorry we cannot wait for Joe Biden and we need to have our own 'strategic autonomy'",
I shit you not, she even used the same term as Macron did just last month.
She told Macron & Biden the exact opposite thing, within a matter of days.
Do you remember Victoria Nuland that said: "Fuck the EU" back in 2014, do you even remember why she said it? Because while Putin was invading the Crimea, Germany was providing political cover through the EU and refusing substantial sanctions just like she has been refusing the same for Erdogan. Do you remember Germany's excuse? "We need Russian gas via Nordstream 2". When Germany was told that Greek, Cypriot, Egyptian and Israeli gas can cover EU needs and then some it was then that Erdogan started eyeing Greek territorial waters as an excuse to throw a wrench in the works of European energy independence. That is why Erdogan along with Germany have been Putin's errand boys all along. Erdogan and Germany are playing Putin's game so that Russia can maintain the only viable Russian industry, its gas monopoly in the EU via Germany.
Thankfully, the EU however has not spoken its final words yet, as the EU parliament is not keen on the Germany-China trade deal and in the matter of Turkey, the EU parliament has officially demanded sanctions against Turkey.
As it currently stands Germany is acting against the instructions and wishes of the EU parliament as well as against NATO, undermining NATO laws("so what about Turkish S-400 missile") and against France.
Germany's best friends in the world at this moment are Putin, Erdogan and Xi and faithful to these friendships Germany has undermined every single Western foreign policy matter for the entire past decade.

Trump destroyed any chance the west had to put the brakes on China by binning the TPP agreement and thus enabling China to march through her own Asian trade agreement replacing the US as the centre of gravity. Trump destroyed the US-EU cooperation and coordination thus enabling Germany to throw the west under the bus without any remorse and march through her own Germany-China agreement and present that to Biden as a fait-accompli.
Trump was the biggest blessing for the Chinese and before you give us nonsense about what Trump said remember the wise: "look not at what we say but at what we do".
