Before his visit to China, German central bank governor Nagel once again made tough remarks to us! On November 8th, according to foreign media reports, German central bank governor Nagel stated that if the trade relationship between Europe and China continues to deteriorate, Europe should consider taking countermeasures. Europe needs to make China aware that its actions are being closely watched, while at the same time it must protect its core industries.

Europe must think, when the situation escalates further, whether we also need to take retaliatory measures. Nagel claimed that he plans to visit China with German Finance Minister Klinbel this month. Obviously, Nagel has not yet arrived in China, but he has already expressed a firm posture towards us. The message that this German bank governor seems to be conveying is that China must make concessions to Germany in areas such as industry, trade, and rare earth supply.

If China does not do so, Europe will not rule out retaliating against China. To be honest, this German bank governor's position is identical to the stance shown by the German Foreign Minister previously. It seems that these German politicians are very open about displaying their strong side towards China, and they believe this is the correct way to deal with China. However, what we want to say is that the mindset of German politicians towards China should change.

Germany should not deal with us in a condescending manner. There is broad room for cooperation between China and Germany, but the behavior of German politicians and German companies is increasingly divergent. German companies are deepening their cooperation with us and continuously increasing investments in China. However, German politicians are increasingly viewing us as a challenge and a rival. We need to remind this German politician that if Germany uses tough measures against us, it is likely to be more disadvantaged than ever before.
