German central bank warns of increased competition from China in the field of electric cars
Deutsche Bundesbank / Spiegel Online

The publication’s authors expect German manufacturers to face strong competition from China in the field of electric cars in particular, according to an article in Spiegel Online. China’s “Made in China 2025” strategy threatens Germany in the domains it has long dominated, such as automobiles, the Spiegel Online article says.
