德国作为欧洲最大的经济体，正面临严峻的经济危机。长期以来，德国以强劲且几乎不间断的经济成长著称，被视为欧洲经济的引擎。然而，来自中国的激烈竞争以及高昂的能源成本，正在使这台著名的工业机器陷入困境。

德国的经济成功过去建立在三大支柱之上：强大的工业能力、基于规则的国际贸易体系，以及廉价的俄罗斯化石燃料。然而，中国制造业的崛起，尤其是在德国曾经主导的产品领域不断增强的竞争力，严重冲击了第一根支柱。唐纳·川普发动的贸易战和弗拉基米尔·普丁发动的实际战争，则分别摧毁了另外两根支柱。

所谓的「中国冲击2.0」不仅对德国造成了沉重打击，也影响了整个欧洲。欧盟领导人于2026年6月责成欧盟委员会提出一系列新的贸易防御措施，以应对与中国每日超过十亿欧元的不可持续贸易逆差。

Germany, Europe's largest economy, is facing a significant economic crisis. Historically known for its strong and nearly continuous growth, the country served as the engine of the broader European economy. However, fierce competition from China and high energy costs are causing its famed industrial machine to sputter.

Germany's economic success was built on three pillars: industrial capabilities, rules-based trade, and cheap Russian fossil fuels. China's rising manufacturing sector, particularly its growing prowess in products Germany once dominated, severely undermined the first pillar. Donald Trump's trade war and Vladimir Putin's real war dismantled the other two.

The so-called China Shock 2.0 has taken a heavy toll not only on Germany but across Europe. In June 2026, EU leaders tasked the European Commission with presenting new trade defense measures to confront what they consider an unsustainable trade deficit with China exceeding one billion euros per day.
