Pretty poor writing. As a matter of fact it looks like fake news.

But, we can hope.

We’ll should get a trillion, not that we’ll get a single penny.

I don’t see Germany doing this. Maybe some other countries will attempt it (and fail), but not Germany.

Wonder if this winds up like German reparations payments after WW1. China gets tagged with bill, locked out of product end markets until they pay. Struggles under debt load, goes full Weimar with knock on effects.

A very poorly written or deliberately misleading article! It was a German newspaper that put the “invoice” together not the German government. For the German government to do it would require far more scrotal material then they’ve displayed in 75 years. Maybe they will!

I don’t believe it. I would wish every country would actually do it but it screams fake news.

It’s the Express, what do you expect?

Anyway, this piece reports on an op-ed that was published in Bild last week. So, it’s not like Merkel suddenly grew a spine or anything. On the other hand, Bild has the highest paid circulation not just in Germany, but in Europe, and German politicians seem to read it and react to the editorials it publishes.

So it’s not much, but it’s not nothing, either.

Anger is going to continue to build for the next several months, I think. CCP’s going to have to figure out a response.

Hey! China. You know that money we use to owe you, well KMA.
Confiscate every Chinese owned property, company, real estate, and investment they have and call that a down payment.
Next, kick out every student, researcher, and corporate head.
Then, just sign the check on the bottom line and we will fill in the correct amount!

NOT THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT, the German newspaper Das Bild is who created the invoice.
