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

I think German themselves made that race to the bottom when they selected cheap Russian gas as their main competitive advantage - as you very well noticed.

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

No, but is wage dumping the long term solution? Or is that bandaid on a arterial bleed?
