In the wake of the recent state elections in Germany, there's a lot of debate about what's driving the strong AfD results — migration, distrust in institutions, the east-west divide. One economic explanation stays IMO underexplored, even though the AfD itself pushes it aggressively: energy prices. 🧵

A sign of how desperate German auto manufacturers have become -- they're finally willing to push back against China's trade practices, risking the repercussions for their own operations in China.

After years of fighting and undermining a rational & forward-looking approach to dealing with Chinese state capitalist competition, 🇩🇪car industry finally changes course and supports trade protection measures.
