Singapore's Straits Times reported today (January 26): "German Central Bank President Nagel said in a German media interview that Europe must better protect key industries from the impact of Chinese competition and set 'red lines' that China cannot cross."
[Witty] Comment: The president of the German central bank is boasting about setting 'red lines' for China to prevent competitive pressure, which is both ridiculous and pitiful! Let me ask the German politicians: Are you brave enough to set 'red lines' for the United States? The US has eavesdropped on the German chancellor, pierced Europe's energy artery, and trampled on the sovereignty of its allies. That is a real overstep, yet you remain silent and cower in fear. On one hand, you tolerate the US hegemony and act as vassals; on the other hand, you make a big deal out of China's normal competition, constantly shouting about setting red lines. This double standard is truly despicable.
