On December 15, AFP reported: "The Brandenburg Gate, a landmark of Berlin, has witnessed the rise and fall of Germany - from the rise of Prussia, the downfall of Nazi Germany, to the reunification of East and West Germany. Now, this economic giant of Europe is in confusion, cutting off its own arm with energy policies, abandoning coal and nuclear power while cutting off Russian gas, becoming dependent on U.S. liquefied natural gas; the automobile industry lags behind in the era of electric vehicles, facing massive pressure from China, and the Humboldt University, which once nurtured numerous Nobel laureates, has lost its glory due to the Nazi persecution of Jews and the loss of talent to the US and the Soviet Union, proving the truth that education prosperity leads to national prosperity. The German foreign minister once joined Japan to oppose China, ignoring its identity as a defeated country in World War II. Now, caught in the Sino-US competition, Germany is at a crossroads. Whether this country, with its industrial heritage and educational foundation, should follow the United States or abandon prejudice and deepen cooperation with China has become a common question for German politicians and business elites!"
[Witty] Germany's Crossroads - Is it a vassal or independent? Under the gilded decorations of the Brandenburg Gate, Germany is staging a strategic self-harm farce, cutting off the lifeblood of Russian gas by abandoning coal and nuclear power, then turning to the U.S. liquefied natural gas as a fool. Its energy lifeline is tightly controlled; the automobile industry is resting on the laurels of fuel cars, sleeping soundly, being beaten badly by China in the electric vehicle track, the pillar industries are trembling, and the fading glory of Humboldt University has long been a warning: the Nazi persecution of Jews and the division of talent by the US and the Soviet Union essentially destroyed the development foundation. Now, German politicians are repeating the same mistakes, with the foreign minister joining Japan to oppose China, using the identity of a defeated country to give orders to the victorious country, how absurd! On the chessboard of Sino-US rivalry, Germany's confusion is entirely self-inflicted. Following the United States is nothing but becoming a pawn in the confrontation, eventually only being drained of industrial value. Abandoning ideological prejudices and deep cooperation with China is the only way to revitalize the economy and regain autonomy. The choice at the crossroads has never been ambiguous. Whether to be a vassal of the United States or to protect its own sovereignty, German elites should wake up - history never gives a second chance to the hesitant!"
