🇨🇳🇩🇪 China is reportedly exploring the acquisition of struggling German car manufacturers, including Volkswagen, according to Reuters, citing an anonymous source.
Establishing car production in Germany for the European market would enable Chinese electric vehicle (EV) makers to avoid EU tariffs on imports from China, further intensifying competition for European automakers.
Such a move could represent "China's most politically sensitive investment to date," given Volkswagen’s status as a longstanding "symbol of Germany’s industrial power."
However, the automaker is now facing significant challenges, including a global economic slowdown, waning demand, and the complex shift to green technologies.
While Chinese companies have already made significant investments in key sectors of Germany’s economy, such as telecommunications and robotics, they have yet to establish traditional car manufacturing in the country. This is despite Chinese firms holding major stakes in Mercedes-Benz.

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Sheibani, referring to Israel:
As Israel seeks to protect its security, it must respect the security of others.
We renewed our commitment to the 1974 agreement, which requires the separation of forces between Syrian territory and the Israeli border, allowing both sides to maintain their security under international supervision.
We call on the international community, the UN, and friendly countries to exert pressure on Israel to withdraw from Syrian territory.
In the past, Israel used Hezbollah, the Assad regime, and Iranian militias as an excuse to attack Syria.
Now that these threats have been removed, it must respect Syria's sovereignty and stop interfering.
And I am saying :
When ISIS is on your borders you do what you need to do to protect yourself!
