Tim Rühlig quoted in Het Financieele Dagblad

"Germany and many other EU member states feel powerless in the face of China," noted Tim Rühlig in Het Financieele Dagblad (in Dutch). "The fact that China is also vulnerable and dependent on us, has not sunk in as much."

Discussing the Bundestag's decision to establish a committee of experts to advise on the reduction of dependencies on China, Tim noted that it will undoubtedly do a good job. "However," he remarked, "if you had asked me what is most urgently needed right now, I wouldn't have said, 'a commission'. We have understood the risk."
