Does that also mean that China will gain a further lead in technical innovations such as electric mobility and artificial intelligence?
We also notice here in Shanghai that there is great concern about this in Germany. My impression is that many in Germany overestimate China’s technological and innovative capabilities, but at the same time underestimate China’s willingness to undermine existing agreements. This has led to a perceived dependence on China in Germany’s highest political circles. This ensures that both German companies and politicians regularly allow themselves to be pushed into a supplicant position. Of course, the Chinese market is extremely important for Germany. All that is forgotten is that China is at least as dependent on our know-how and technology. Because in areas such as automotive, mechanical engineering, robotics, medical technology or smartphone development, China is certainly not a leader and is not yet on the same level as Germany or the USA. If you played this card harder, then completely different discussions with China would be possible.
