If you you have a problem with your bowels from the more economically made Lithuanian cepelinai, then you will run, holding your nose, wherever you can.
"Mr. Scholz’s critics have also skewered him for prioritizing Germany’s
domestic well-being at the cost of the European Union’s broader
needs.
Poorer European states say that Berlin has put their
economies at a disadvantage by distorting the continent’s common market with a
relief package, worth €200 billion, to help Germany weather soaring energy and
inflation prices. Bogged down by complicated negotiations among the coalition
partners, Berlin failed in September to give advance notice to Brussels or
Paris of the deal, adding insult to the injury.
And when Mr. Scholz made his first trip to Beijing this
autumn, he took a delegation of German executives instead of traveling with
President Emmanuel Macron of France, who had offered to join him. Days earlier,
Mr. Scholz defied advice from his ministers
and approved a deal that gave the state-backed Chinese firm Cosco a stake in a
terminal at Hamburg port, a key artery of trade in Europe.
“He cannot have a two-front war with Russia and China at the
same time economically,” Mr. Benner said, though he noted that he disagreed
with Mr. Scholz’s approach. “You can only credibly deter Beijing if you say:
‘Economically and technologically, we’ll cut you off if you upset the status
quo.’”
In France, Mr. Scholz has been criticized for having a
cooler relationship with Paris than the one fostered by Ms. Merkel, whose
office was said to speak with French government officials every day — a symbol
of what many described as the Franco-German motor that kept the European Union
running."
