Read this by @jankaoertel.bsky.social & @jjakobowski.bsky.social to start your week right.

Makes it clear what it is at stake with China Shock 2.0 for Germany & Central European industrial heartland & why old answers based on simple competitiveness thinking are not enough in system competition.

Great new study on the second China shock from ECFRs Janka and Jakub.

The study contains a lot of terrific data, extends the analysis from Germany to all of Central and Eastern Europe, and is brimming with good policy advice.

A Must read. @jankaoertel.bsky.social
