Thoughts – China: Dirk Rimaux versus Jonathan Holslag

I am certainly not the only one who disagrees with Holslag. This is what civil engineer Dirk Rimaux wrote in Doorbraak: "Academics like Jonathan Holslag insist that we must build a dike against Chinese economic power. But the opposite remains true. With the advent of the electric car, China is building on its industrial future. In this innovative segment, it is even leaving Europe behind. Slowly, the apprentice is growing above his master. So it remains to be seen whether we are going to be able to contain Chinese economic influence. After all, how do you stop this mastodon? But we may already urgently learn from the Chinese example."
