France and Germany, one smooth, the other stubborn! Their attitudes toward China are sharply contrasting!
German politicians' self-destructive behavior has gone out of control, shouting for decoupling from China and banning Huawei equipment!
But German companies can't afford the cost of leaving China. Instead, they are accelerating investment in and expansion of China.
The German government insists that companies should shift their investments to Europe - European manufacturing is being drained by high energy and labor costs, regulatory pressure, and collapsing consumer demand.
The depth of China's supply chain will take years to replace, and it will be costly. More importantly, Asia accounts for almost all growth in consumer markets, with the population of the middle-income class growing at double-digit rates. The German government should discard old thinking and change its policies according to the situation!
Learn from Macron, who is generally pragmatic in foreign affairs! He has visited China four times, each time returning with much. One important aspect of this visit is inviting China to attend the G7 summit next year to help France's struggling economy!
Even if they are stubborn, we should try our best to win them over. China, not holding grudges, has invited German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock to visit China on August 8-9.
