German investment in China at record high despite economic tensions | DW Business

The German government describes China as a "partner, systemic rival and competitor." But what does that actually mean in practice? As German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visits China accompanied by the bosses of some of his country’s most important companies, he faces a tough balancing act: acknowledging China’s importance as an economic partner while making the case for a more level playing field. DW Business speaks with Holger Görg, Director of the International Trade and Investment research center at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy about the complexities of the relationship.

    Ok. It isn't weak but it's still in recession. That's the bottom line. And Germanys future is in doubt as it has shutdown all it's nuclear power plants, and usa has blown up it's Nordstream 2 pipeline and also now banned itself from Russian oil. Germany is no longer competitive as a result. It's energy costs is twice as much as Frances. This has pushed even German companies to leave Germany and open more factories in China. Is this China's fault or Germanys? Should china be punished? Or did Germany do it to themselves and made themselves uncompetitive? And don't talk about subsidizes. Germany and USA and everyone does subsidies and does massive protectionism. Just see usas chip band and massive subsidies worth tens of billions of dollars to lure companies like TSMC to open new factories in USA. Not just subsidies, but they even made laws and did extortionism to force countries like Japan, SK, Netherlands and Taiwan(ROC) to stop selling chips to China.

    Technologically and Economically, China is now Number 1. China has already decoupled all economies. big German companies keep increasing investment in China. And these DW guys talking Ukraine Wars. Are they smarter than the CEOs? The US companies are in China, the US is begging for Chinese help. What is the EU doing?

    That's why as a Chinese I don't believe in Western style democracy any more. You spent way too much efforts on"who should solve problems" rather than "how to solve problems". All those elections took too much time and attentions of politicians and leaders, they have to think how to get elected rather than how to run the country. Also the decisions they made have to compemize to the opposite side which actually prevent them from making best decisions.

    China has the best supply chain, production capacity and demand market for automakers, especially for EVs. In terms of subsidizing the industries, there is very limited room for EU to make an argument, mostly because the US and EU are also doing it (IRA for example), and the China's subsidy is non-discriminate (Tesla and Volkswagen receive benefits as well).

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says if Western countries have problems with China "they should not impose it upon us". Mr Ibrahim insisted that Malaysia can be friends with both China and the West. "We are an independent nation, we are fiercely independent, we do not want to be dictated by any force," Mr Ibrahim said. "So it remains to be an important friend to the US and Europe and here in Australia. They should not preclude us from being friendly to one of our important neighbours, precisely China.
