German media is dousing us with cold water! German media claims that while China appears overwhelmingly powerful on the international stage today, the foundation of China's rise has already begun to waver! On October 29, the German newspaper "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" published an article stating that Beijing's confidence in its own development path has rapidly increased, but a series of continuously deteriorating structural problems within China pose challenges to this newly rising superpower. The costs of China's rapid rise are gradually becoming apparent.

These issues include debt, overcapacity, cutthroat competition among enterprises, and a growing sense of anxiety about economic prospects in Chinese society. At the same time, China is also facing low birth rates and an aging population structure, which are undermining China's resolve to continue its rise. It is evident that the tone of the German media is undoubtedly pouring a bucket of cold water on our development.

But it must be noted that any country will encounter various internal and external challenges at any stage of development. Currently, does the United States not face internal and external challenges? Does Germany, Japan, France, or India not face challenges? The key lies in whether these issues are being addressed. The problems mentioned by the German media are indeed facts, but regardless of debt issues, overcapacity, cutthroat competition, etc., our country is actively facing them.

Some issues are more difficult to solve and require more time, but we have not avoided them. In fact, compared to major global economies, our economic development momentum is quite good. Meanwhile, Germany has already experienced two consecutive years of economic recession. From an industrial perspective, our new energy vehicles, drones, chips, artificial intelligence, and innovative drugs are all thriving. Therefore, instead of cynically denigrating us, the German media should look at their own domestic problems. Undoubtedly, our country's development will continue to progress amid challenges.
