Klingbeil has floated mandatory joint ventures for non-European companies to ensure technology transfer — a strategy China itself has used for decades to extract know-how from foreign companies seeking access to its market. A reform package introduced by the coalition in early July included such a push and other measures aimed at strengthening Germany’s economic sovereignty and resilience.
“The objective is not to cut China off from technology forever,” Tordoir said in an interview. “The objective is to show that Germany has teeth, to remind Beijing that China also has critical dependencies on Europe.
“The objective is not to cut China off from technology forever,”
Good, because that won’t be the outcome either
These racist dinosaurs need to stop sniffing their own farts.
China is far beyond anything Europe has been throughout its history. Its not even close.
Europe’s future is being the quaint, terrible weathered, forgotten corner of the world. Sooner they make peace with that, the sooner they can start preparing to take care of their citizens
It would be satisfying if China sanctioned Europe to prohibit dual use technology export and used the reasoning that Europe is a garden and should be kept that way. Just outright tell Europe you’re just an ignorant backwater, stop trying to be something you’re not (a world power of any significance).
Complete italianization 🤌
China also has critical dependencies on Europe.
These “critical dependencies” are like Bourgogne wine and balsamic vinegar.
We must return to the historical norm of Europe having a massive trade imbalance with China, and only being able to trade silver because China has no interest in their inferior manufactures
Nah, China needs to reverse the historical norm and have China start flooding the market with synthetic opiates, turning little states like Malta and Lichtenstein into small kingdoms run by warlords.
they probably mean that dutch chip making machine, which the chinese are rapidly replacing
I wouldn’t say that’s a lie, more of mischaracterization. China’s current economy is basically set up to extract wealth from the world’s wealthy do-nothing service economies.
It’s not China’s fault that most western countries decided that they would rather change their entire economic structure just to better avoid unions and paying workers a fair wage.
Europe and China are dependent on each other, China just has a lot more leverage on their side of the negotiation table.
Have they tried hitting them in the big red glowing spot?
OH SHIT CHINA HAS A SECOND PHASE
thank god dengist reform and opening up is their final phase!
oh, FUCK IT’S MAOISM 2!
China won’t be getting any more german porn, it’s over
China: Our weakness is instability. Please stop bombing everywhere
