Sfârșitul naivității germane în politica față de China

The German government, led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, has initiated a significant shift in its economic policy towards China, recognizing the detrimental impact of previous naivety. This change aims to address the loss of 15,000 industrial jobs monthly due to China's economic strategies. Germany and France have united to propose a stronger EU stance against China, allowing for potential exclusion from the internal market. Despite past indulgence towards Beijing, Merz acknowledges the urgent need for reform and a more assertive approach. Critics warn of potential economic backlash from China, but the EU's coordinated response is seen as essential for fair trade practices.
