The reason is very simple:
1. Mercedes-Benz biggest customer is China
2. BMW biggest customer is China
3. Audi biggest customer is China
4. Porsche biggest customer is China. Porsche ship their cars via the new OBOR railway network directly to China.

"Drop the hammer on China"?

The US still does not seem to realize that in China, they are dealing with a peer power.

They don't have a strategy for dealing with a small enemy like Iran, let alone a peer like China. All they have are these hackneyed slogans: it's time to "get tough on China", "stand up to China", and "hold China to account." India-level rhetoric.

I really hope this lack of awareness on part of the US establishment does not lead to actions based on their lack of awareness and their misperception of the situation.

Not only the German car industry, all of Europe has very close relationships with China.

Duisburg is not far from where I live. 35 container trains from China arrive there every week. The trains take 13 days to travel. The longest distance not only this network but of the world is the Yiwu – Madrid railway line with 13,000 kilometers, which takes 21 days.

The first train went from Xiangtan to Hamburg on October 6, 2008 and took 17 days.

The network currently serves 27 cities in Europe.
