It is reported that after the "North Stream" pipeline was leaked and damaged last month, German Railway was artificially damaged last week, causing large-scale suspension of operations. No "sues" were found in the two accidents so far, and energy prices continued to rise, internal and external troubles caused strong dissatisfaction among the people in Germany. German Chancellor Scholz did an unusual thing at this node: he promised to make fiscal appropriations of up to 200 billion euros to alleviate the domestic energy crisis. This policy directly puts aside other EU EU countries without any coordination; the "single" behavior has left Germany criticized at the EU informal summit, but Scholz did not waver at all.
just announced the allocation of huge amounts of funds to help, and Scholz also changed his attitude towards China. He clearly stated at the Berlin mechanical engineering summit on the 11th that he "resolutely does not support decoupling with China". Under the current situation, the German government should carry out more trade with many countries, including China, Asia, Africa, Latin America and other countries, which is in line with the trend of economic globalization. Just two months ago, the prime minister also declared that "we should choose a diversified development route and not rely too much on investing in China", and the differences between the two sides are very obvious. Some analysts believe that a series of blows made Scholz realize that the difficulties they were facing were far more serious than they thought, and talking about decoupling at this time is undoubtedly a "suicide attempt."
Previously, the EU also "hesitated" and "worstless" on the issue of China. Now, from the remarks of this executive, they seem to be trying to follow Germany and China to follow a firm trade route. The reason is not difficult to understand: the EU is facing a similar situation as Germany. Many countries have lost the raw material market due to the embargo on Russia and have lost many development opportunities; if we still follow the instigation of Blinken, , Yellen, and others in the first half of the year to "get rid of China's single supply chain as soon as possible", the EU will also usher in a development crisis. In one sentence, Europe has cut off a safety rope on its body hanging on a cliff, and now it will not cut off the second one.
It is worth mentioning that at the meeting that day, Dongbrovskis and Scholz also criticized the new US policy abnormally; they were very dissatisfied with the Inflation Reduction Act launched by the United States for self-protection of local enterprises. The bill almost indiscriminately stifled the automobile, renewable energy, battery and energy-intensive industries in all European countries, making them unable to compete with the United States with subsidies. The two were "deeply worried" about this and said they would continue to negotiate with the United States. There is a comment on this: "Europe seems to have realized that they are being 'harvested' by countries across the Atlantic Ocean and become the biggest losers in this crisis, so they put aside the warnings of the United States and publicly talked about development with China; but unfortunately, the United States uses , NATO, and to "absolutely control" European countries. Scholz's military expansion plan is probably not available before it is completed."
