German media: Germany should learn from China's experience, rather than respond with sanctions
The magazine "Focus" believes that the foreign minister's approach of Wadefu is not based on reality and harms Germany's interests. Germany should learn from China's experience, rather than respond with sanctions.
The five "experiences" to learn are as follows:
First, the electric vehicle revolution: In the first half of 2025, the share of pure electric vehicles (BEV) in China's new car market reached 50%; Germany only 18%.
Second, the combination of market and state. Since the reform and opening up, China has integrated national regulation into the market economy.
Third, industrial policy: China's development is not merely a market behavior, but the combination of market and national strategy. The state supports emerging industries, not subsidizing sunset industries.
Fourth, resource strategy: China possesses the world's largest reserves of rare earth resources, and uses them as a tool for diplomatic and industrial strategies. For example, in the Sino-US trade war, the control of rare earth exports became an important "countermeasure" for China.
Fifth, trade policy: Despite continuous trade friction with the United States, China still maintains its position as the world's largest exporter, demonstrating China's influence.
Therefore: People should not punish China, but learn from China. The West needs to regain their curiosity about the Chinese model.
