I've seen LOTS of coverage about this. Don't think it's been hidden.

Half assed job, that needs the whole enclosure to be burnt out to proper mess it up. Could even be Gippos looking for copper cables.
Though to be fair I don't think we can blame them for everything, e.g. the sub aqua cables as they apparently lack submarine capability.

Another German company could come under Chinese influence, with the German government now looking into the sale of Elmos, a chipmaking firm in Dortmund. Although Elmos would be bought directly by Sweden's Silex, it is actually a subsidiary of China's Sai MicroElectronics. Although the investigation is still ongoing, Handelsblatt quotes government sources as saying that the transaction is likely to be approved. The paper says that they are more lenient in this case because Elmos' technology is considered obsolete, so there is no fear that the technological know-how will go to the Chinese.
Elmos, which mainly makes chips for car makers, announced last year that it was selling its Dortmund plant. Chinese-owned Silex would buy the plant and its stock for €85 million.
However, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution no longer considers the sale a good idea, as the Chinese would not only acquire the know-how, but also the production capacity. China usually buys into an industry in a targeted way in order to exert pressure on the country concerned.
In Germany, the debate on Chinese influence has recently intensified, with the government recently allowing the Chinese state-owned Cosco to take over the operation of the port of Hamburg. After considerable internal debate, the German government coalition only made the condition that only 24.9 percent would be acquired, instead of the 35 percent previously planned. In addition, the Chinese shareholder would not have veto rights on strategic and business decisions. The deal has even prompted German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier to warn against unilateral dependence on China (via Spiegel).

Germany 2022 Q3s GDP economic growth is 1.2 % , can't find numbers for the EU they usually come a bit later but in light of this, as Germany was the least growing economy, it should also be positive.

20,6% percent less than in August. Thats all clumsy China Russia communist propaganda. Like freezing to death and similar non-sense.
As long as you're not a high echelon German CEO you should not fall for it.
Historic insolvences.
Insolvenzen nach Jahren
Eröffnete und mangels Masse abgewiesene Insolvenzverfahren, Vergleichsverfahren/Schuldenbereinigungsplan angenommen, Insolvenzen insgesamt, Unternehmensinsolvenzen. Lange Reihen mit Jahresergebnisse ab 1950. Originalwerte und Veränderungsraten.
One has also to keep in mind that an insolvence doesn't necessarily mean a total end of business operations.
Many companies survive it.

Considering how heavily curtailed "Russian and Chinese news channels/propaganda" got, I doubt the "freeing to death and similar non-sense" came from them.
If anything, these claims got made by European leaders first and foremost with all the various "energetic penury"/"rationing of energy"/"fines for anybody heating their houses above 20°C"/"here are 10 life hacks on how to keep yourself warm this winter"/etc...
All these lines have been found in western media, and none were affiliated to either Moscow or Pekin...

Really? I remember that Russian propaganda chick sitting in Germany with a jacket on because she is freezing in her apartment over here.
Scroll down to see Yulia P freezing on a 22° autumn day in Bavaria.

Sie „friert“ für Putins Propaganda: So dreist lügt die Russen-Hetzerin
Sie tut so, als wäre es in Deutschland eiskalt. Yulia P. (30) tritt mit Putin-Propaganda im russischen Fernsehen auf. Die Polizei ermittelt gegen sie.

Bundeswehr: Und schon gerät Olaf Scholz‘ Zeitenwende in Gefahr - WELT
Kanzler Olaf Scholz will die Bundeswehr zur „am besten ausgestatteten Streitkraft in Europa“ machen. Doch es geht eher in die andere Richtung – trotz 100 Milliarden Euro Sonderschulden. So kommt die Verteidigungsministerin mit der Bestellung neuer Waffensysteme nur im Schneckentempo voran.

But the gist is Germany is saying it is going to rearm to the teeth - but it will be lucky if it buys some warm socks in the next 10 years
You are judged by what you DO not what you say - Germany expected Ruskia to be in Kiev in 2 days, and they could have then had cheap grain to go with the cheap gas
"Chancellor Olaf Scholz wants to make the Bundeswehr the "best equipped armed force in Europe". But it's going in the other direction - despite 100 billion euros in special debts. For example, the Minister of Defense is only making progress at a snail's pace with the ordering of new weapon systems.
All other tasks should be subordinate to the priority of a functioning national and alliance defense, explained Olaf Scholz (SPD) recently at a management conference in Berlin: “That is my claim as Chancellor. You can measure me by that.”
