Not entirely sure Dalia or my proposals are particularly radical anymore - Germany needs to start making moves to level the playing field with China or accept widespread industrial damage from Chinas subsidies, undervalued exchange rate, closed off home market, and overcapacities.

The changing role of China is essential in Germanys industrial decline and a key reason why industrial production has slumped back to 2005 levels.
Good to see it receive the prominence it deserves - it wasn’t always so in the debate.
That deficit will blow our far wider still.
