定语从句,to which在这里是否可以用副词where代表?例句如下↓

Too many german politicians believe that a large external surplus is a sign of strength (to which) other contries,too,should aspire,and define europe's action plan almost wholly in terms of what others must do.
to which 应该如何翻译?
which是否指代a sign of strength?
where是否能替代to which
WHERE 不能替换TO WHICH ,因为 TO WHICH 这里不是表示地点,前面先行词不是表地点的名词,WHICH 作 ASPIRE TO 的宾语,
高手是否能不用代词,从组这句话=）变为简单句.
句子结构：主语+谓语+宾语.从句+定语从句（为一个带有并列谓语的简单句）
宾语从句为主系表结构 a large external surplus is a sign of strength
定语从句前半句为主谓宾结构:other countries aspire to which
定语从句后半句为主谓宾状结构 define Europe's action plan almost wholly in terms of what others must do
用简单句表示：Too many German policitican believe a large external surplus to be a sign of strength and this sign of strength is desired by other countries and other countries can define the Europe's action plan almost wholly in terms of what others must do
