Yes. Now tell that the export-heavy Germans, and also the many other actors (including the US) weighing short-sighted profit interests and a dogma of "change by trade" as heavier . Here in Europe many are eager to not ease relations, because then all the heavy investments made there would be lost. And so they invest even deeper, and more. Nobody wants to face these losses, and so they ignore China'S aggressiveness.
