strengthen economic security and reduce dependence on chinese raw materials. it also talked about the war in ukraine and d w's. chief political correspondent need a has a, is traveling with chancellor schoultz. she explained the economic importance. japan has to germany. well, japan is germany's 2nd largest trading partner in asia. and perhaps most importantly, even at both countries, each other is very similar. they say they share values, but the also their economies are structurally very similar. and there's a lot of scope for deeper collaboration between the 2. because for long germany neglected japan in favor of china. so today here they both said again, all of swords and the japanese prime minister that both countries have seen that big dependency on big players like china and russia is dangerous and painful. they

said they learned that during the covert, pandemic, and of course, russia's war against ukraine. and so they say diversification is key and they agreed to strengthen economic collaboration. in a you said a china is currently germany's most important trading partner in the region. how much a room from a mover does this all give all off shots? well that's of course a tight rope walk. now both countries are very dependent on china, but at the same time, they're also saying that they need to diversify. they need to reduce their dependencies. and so here today in tokyo, both governments agreed to work together more closely when it comes to sourcing critical minerals and also supporting efforts to do more research and to give incentives to japanese and german businesses to do mining. but also refining and processing of those minerals so that they can reduce the dependency of china on

china. they also say that they don't want decoupling from china and in japan. and the system works that as such that the state and businesses and work together hand in hand, essentially to develop an economic strategy in germany. that's not the case. and all i've showed says that he just hopes that businesses themselves will see that they need to reduce dependencies on china, and that the government a can offer support and incentives for them to actually diversify just quickly know what had sholtes and to should have to say about ukraine. well, japan was one of the 1st countries to condemn russia's war against ukraine. and it also adopted on all of their wet, so called western sanctions against russia. and of course, the fear here in japan is that if putin has his way in ukraine, that, that might send a very, very dangerous signal to other autocrats around the world,

particularly china, of course. and so they say that this must not happen. geopolitical situations cannot be changed by falls into housing in tokyo. thanks nina. you're up to date. now. up next is sports life and how swimming can help people with autism. that's after a short break. don't forget is always more news on d, w dot com and on social media. the handle is that t w news. i'm jared read. thanks for watching eddie mike. a junior, we'll be back here in 45 minutes with the headlines. ah. that has to floated you do the full i'd have to channel fantastic. ah, she survey.
