The German chancellor plans to transform the country's military into the most powerful conventional force in Europe, committing hundreds of billions of euros to defense by 2029.

Germany imports 95% of the strategic raw materials it needs, and China controls much of the processing of these resources, which could stymie Berlin's defense industrial plans.
