| Summary/Abstract |
IN 2016, China for the first time became Germany's main foreign trade partner, replacing the seemingly unshakable U.S., which came in third place after France. This event was an indicator of certain changes taking place in modern world trade and in international relations in general - what would seem to be the emergence of a trend toward the establishment of a new balance of power in world politics. The basis for such a turn of events was China's adept and very balanced economic diplomacy against the backdrop of Washington's rather impulsive and sometimes rash actions.
