Europe’s industrial powerhouse faces threats from heightened geopolitical tensions

Germany must not be “naïve” about the “very real” risk of China invading Taiwan, one of Berlin’s top economic advisers has warned. Monika Schnitzer, who leads the Council of Economic Experts, said the country must reduce economic ties with the world’s second biggest economy to avoid “a real moment of conflict” if Xi Jinping sends troops onto the island.

    I know who she is. The whole school of hers is just bullshit. Nothing personal, she is just wrong.

      Is there anything more that could explain your comments?

          How about you provide a brief summary as a hook instead of just coming across as an asshole?

          There are tons of people in various governments who I don’t like, and tons who I think are actively harming humanity in one way or another. If someone asks me why (and isn’t being a troll), I am generally happy to use several sentences to explain, and then provide a link or two. You should do that too.

            Of she had a consistent strategy i could. She has not except letting the rich do their thing. If you are expecting an essay i write for 4 people to read, i am sorry. You are better then me in that regard. I don’t designate people assholes for voicing unqualified opinions though.
