The German government has decided to block the acquisition of an 80% stake in the Hamburg-based logistics company Zippel by the Chinese state-owned shipping company COSCO due to national security threats. A government report warns that this deal could create strategic dependencies on China, which Beijing could exploit as leverage during political crises. Zippel facilitates connections between German ports and internal logistics chains using rail, road, and sea transport.
