What the fuck is USA??? China is already a more important trading partner for Germany than America. Will the American morons who voted for Trump ever wake up? I don't think so. And if so, one day, the political, economical and cultural damage (oops, I think it is not very appropriate to use the word "cultural" in the context of the USA, well, okay..) will be absolutely immense and it will take a long time for this country to recover from all these devastations.

However - Germany will be the winner again (we always will remember the agony of 1945). We even invest now one billion Euros in India, the political leader of India was also in Berlin this week.

Good Night America, and enjoy your sweet dreams - because waking up will be horriffic.
I get mixed messages from forum members about China. Your post seems to suggest that China will be a great and valued trading partner. On the other hand, there are those here who believe that China's economic rise was fueled by dumping cheaply produced goods on the US market which made domestic manufacturing less competitive and gave rise to Walmart and the like. Many folks actually eschew Chinese and other imported goods as much as possible as a result, and try (sometimes with difficulty depending on the goods they are looking for) to "buy American".

Merkel can flirt with China all she wants. But lest she forget Putin and company are just across the border, and China won't likely be much help with any issues that might arise there.
