Germany must not be “naïve” about the “very real” risk of China invading Taiwan, one of Berlin’s top economic advisers has warned. Monika Schnitzer, who leads the Council of Economic Experts, said the country must reduce economic ties with the world’s second biggest economy to avoid “a real moment of conflict” if Xi Jinping sends troops onto the island.
Lol, top economic advisor.
Lol, top economic advisor.
You might not agree with her but she is - without any doubt - one of the top economic advisors.

In German:
I know who she is. The whole school of hers is just bullshit. Nothing personal, she is just wrong.
