"we buy everything from Western Europe" - only partially true. Poland has strong internal market and Poles are competitive guys ;-)
Anyone with an ounce of sense knows a balanced trade deal is the most beneficial for the West. It stops dead countries like Bangladesh, India, China, Pakistan and Czech Republic dumping goods and services on the richer Nations. Putting millions out of work, on low wages, part-time work, etc.

But it doesn't suit the owners of the corporations and Germany.

The problem is the Third Word has no intentions of only making things like clothes. What happens when companies like Apple, Microsoft, Boeing, GM, spring up in China, owned by the Chinese? And if you don't think that will happen, you must be living under a rock.
