German politicians urge to stop wind power deal with China because of spy and sabotage risks

Politicians from the CDU, SPD and the Greens demand to prohibit the delivery of Chinese wind turbines for an offshore project in the German North Sea. This is because of a study by the German Armed Forces and the German Institute for Defense and Strategic Studies which warns of serious risks of espionage and sabotage associated with allowing China to penetrate Germany’s critical infrastructure.

Political influence, espionage through sensors, access to security protocols of critical infrastructure and disorder of energy supply are mentioned. The study therefore advise “preventing” the use of Chinese wind turbines.
