German coalition collapse: where is Germany heading?

For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Europe's largest economy, Germany, has recently been thrown into chaos following the collapse of its three-party ruling coalition after Olaf Scholz’s decision to sack his finance minister a week ago. A confidence vote to be held soon could either reaffirm support for Scholz's government or pave the way for snap elections. So, what caused the coalition to collapse? What are the major political and economic challenges causing tensions within the coalition? And with possible tariffs from the U.S. on the horizon, what does this political meltdown mean for Germany and Europe? Guests in this edition of Dialogue include Prof. Eberhard Sandschneider, partner at Berlin Global Advisors; Cui Hongjian, professor at the Academy of Regional and Global Governance at Beijing Foreign Studies University; and Pieter Cleppe, editor-in-chief of Brusselsreport.eu.
