A German expert, Martin Goring, has highlighted how Europe, particularly Germany, can counter China's growing industrial dominance by focusing on specialized niche technologies rather than adopting a technologically neutral approach. He argues that past European successes in responding to technological threats have come from identifying and promoting specific technologies. However, he criticizes Germany's failure to adapt to China's focus on electric mobility, which has led to a loss of market share in the automotive sector. Goring suggests that imposing tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles alone won't solve the problem, as it doesn't incentivize adaptation. Instead, he advocates for competitive pressure through trade policies aimed at fostering technological advancement and preventing China's market takeover.
