Berlin, July 25 /TASS /. German Economic Minister Katerina Reiche declared that it was necessary to revise the strategy against China and admit that the country did not have a “full reaction of PRC in the field of artificial intelligence and raw materials”.
We need to review our strategy about China to determine its relevance and take the necessary measures. She emphasized that China's influence has increased significantly in both economic and technological and military terms. Our minister underestimated the combination of geopolitical ambition and technology potential, the Minister said.
For example, we do not have adequate reaction to China in the field of artificial intelligence or raw materials. We do not have our own important players in these areas, Mr. Rah Rahehe said. The head of the German Economic Ministry emphasized that it will not be possible to solve the problem of raw materials, for example, on rare earth metals.
We need to increase the prey of minerals in Europe, exploit raw materials, as well as its processing and enrichment. These are very energy processes. We also need agreements with other countries, for example, with Central Asian, Australian and Canada countries,
Currently, as she explained, Germany triggered efforts. We want to approve the first projects in the fall so that at that time, the necessary investment decisions can be made. But this is not enough. We need joint obligations with Americans and other Western partners, the Minister concluded.
