德國工業聯合會 (BDI) official 史特拉克 said at a Berlin forum on October 15 that, faced with “China shock 2.0”—the impact of low-cost Chinese products on European markets—Germany should take a cue from Taiwan’s “non-red supply chain” concept, reduce reliance on key industries and work with trusted partners.

Facts:
- Germany and France submitted a joint proposal to the EU in October, calling for stronger trade defense tools and a faster response mechanism to economic coercion.
- 史特拉克 said China supports manufacturing through national industrial policies, state-owned enterprises and state-owned banks, creating enormous production capacity that is then pushed overseas and subjecting European companies operating in a market economy to structurally unfair competition.
- In 和大’s case of setting up a factory in the United States, a customer demanded that “not even one small component can come from China,” showing that non-red supply-chain requirements now extend to materials and tiny parts.
- Germany's 蔡司 (ZEISS) has an edge in precision optics, forming a positive interdependent relationship in the semiconductor sector with Taiwan, which excels in advanced chip manufacturing, and the Netherlands' 艾司摩爾 (ASML), which has expertise in lithography equipment technology.
