Deutsche Welle reports today: Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume stated that China's state-led economic model serves as a valuable example for Germany. Speaking in an interview with Germany's *Bild am Sonntag*, he said, "The Chinese are very systematic in their planning—they have five-year plans and very clear priorities."
"This is a highly optimized organizational structure. We experience in China a strong sense of discipline and execution capability, which enables them to effectively implement tasks." He added that learning from others is worthwhile. "It’s worth looking at how other countries operate; from China’s development, we can also learn a great deal."
Commentary: CEO Oliver Blume’s remarks are quite straightforward—China’s development model truly works and is worth learning from. He believes China excels in long-term planning, clear objectives, and swift action, achieving remarkable efficiency, unlike much of the West, which often drags its feet and suffers from internal inefficiencies. This isn’t mere politeness—it’s a genuine recognition by a global industrial leader who has competed head-on in the Chinese market, demonstrating that pragmatism and efficiency bring real competitive advantage.
