SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #50 China Shock 2.0: How Can the German Automotive Industry Respond?
DESCRIPTION:Global China Conversations #50\nChina Shock 2.0: How Can the German Automotive Industry Respond?\n\n\n\n\n  \n30.06.2026\, 11:00 – 12:00 CEST \n\n\n\n\n\nWith registration: Registration for online participation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChina’s rise as an automotive powerhouse is reshaping competitive dynamics in the global car industry and challenging one of the pillars of Germany’s economy. Chinese EV manufacturers are expanding their technological capabilities\, scaling production at remarkable speed\, and entering European markets with highly competitive prices and rapidly improving quality. At the same time\, German automakers remain deeply tied to China for sales\, production\, and innovation. As geopolitical tensions grow and industrial policies become more assertive\, German automakers face pressure to adapt their business operations and long-term strategies. How serious is the challenge posed by rising Chinese competition for German manufacturers and suppliers? Where do German automakers and suppliers continue to hold a competitive edge? Where can German and Chinese automakers and suppliers continue to cooperate? And what role should German and European economic policy play in maintaining competitiveness and technological leadership\, while safeguarding openness? \nProgram\nThe event consists of two impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #50 will be held in English. \nAttendance is possible online via Zoom or in Berlin (Representation of the State Government Schleswig-Holstein (In den Ministergärten 8-10\, 10117 Berlin) as part of the 3rd Kiel-Göttingen-CEPR Conference. \nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n© Dominik Butzmann\n\n\n\n\nManuel Kallweit\nManuel Kallweit\, born in 1983 in Eisenach\, studied economics in Würzburg and Barcelona.
