And also to keep the low prices of German products which keeps German businesses competitive and thus Germans employed, taxes paid, etc.

You're making the race to the bottom manufacturing sound like an advantage Germany should aspire to. You have it backwards.

Do you think German manufacturing can compete with Chinese one once salaries grow?
