How can the German economy be saved? This is the question that the Green Federal Minister for Economic Affairs, Robert Habeck, has to face on Markus Lanz's show. Many medium-sized companies are complaining of fears for their existence and large companies are increasingly considering whether they should move to other countries where production conditions are more favorable. Has Germany missed the opportunity to become competitive? The German economy is lagging behind its foreign competitors, particularly in the area of electric cars. Robert Habeck explains that German car manufacturers have not taken the shift to electric mobility seriously in the past. But previous governments have also missed the opportunity to expand the associated infrastructure. This is why the Chinese market is so much larger. Regarding economic relations with China, he explains that we can no longer live in a "geopolitical naivety". Dependencies, especially in these times, must be minimized. This is how he counters the criticism from the panel about the strong subsidies for Intel. We do not know how tensions in Asia between China and Taiwan, the largest chip manufacturer in the world, will continue to escalate. Europe, especially Germany, needs to broaden its economic position. And not just in the case of China.
