German Chancellor Scholz once again expressed his support for globalization when he attended the Berlin Summit on Mechanical Engineering on 11 October, local time, saying that globalization “makes a lot of prosperity possible”. At the same time, he is also firmly opposed to decoupling, stressing that “decoupling would be a completely wrong path. The current order, or rather, the order at the turn of the times is not decoupling, but a clever political and economic diversification system. . “
Scholz believes that Germany and the EU must establish broader and stronger trade relations, not only cannot decouple from individual countries, but “must trade with many countries, including China, with the emerging countries of Asia, the Africa and Latin America. “.
EU Trade Commissioner Dombrovskis also pointed out in a video speech at the summit that day, what the world needs today is not isolation and protectionism. He said the EU and China are deeply integrated economies. In the words of Dombrovskis, “Decoupling from China is not an option for us. China is an important growing market and a valuable source of investment that we can afford.”
German machinery manufacturers also want to maintain close trade relations with China. The industry is heavily dependent on foreign trade, with exports accounting for around 80% of its trade value. “We see no reluctance to invest abroad,” said Weschels, chief economist of the German Federation of the Machinery Manufacturing Industry. In August, overseas orders for the German machinery manufacturing industry increased 2% on a monthly basis, while domestic orders decreased 6%. (Headquarters reporter Ruan Jiawen)
