Germany's industrial woes have increasingly become a hot topic of discussion. The latest Engineer Monitor report from professional association Verein Deutscher Ingenieure and the German Economic Institute offers a new look at the issue.
The report showed that there were 58,392 unemployed individuals in the engineering and information technology (IT) professions in the fourth quarter of 2025, the highest level since the survey began in 2011.
Compared with the previous year, the number of unemployed increased by 16.7 percent, according to German media reports on Sunday.
These figures lay bare the challenges confronting the country's manufacturing sector. The reasons for the industrial woes are multiple. The soaring energy costs caused by geopolitical conflicts, the decline in exports caused by rising protectionism and low external demand, and the structural pain caused by industrial chain restructuring are all squeezing the space of German manufacturing.
Manufacturing is the backbone of Germany's economy, and engineers and IT specialists constitute the core force that sustains this pillar. For decades, the country's reputation for "Made in Germany" excellence was built on the expertise of these skilled professionals. Regardless of the macroeconomic ups and downs, preserving the stability and continuity of its industrial talent pool represents a strategic bottom line for Germany.
Should large numbers of highly skilled technical professionals leave the industry or sit idle, industrial research and development (R&D) and production cycles will be disrupted. Over the longer term, such a waste of human capital will erode Germany's industrial innovation capacity and, ultimately, undermine the foundations of its global competitiveness.
In this context, the urgent task for Germany is to create sufficient quality positions for its technical talent. Should it fail to do so in the short term, then Germany needs to embrace a more open‑minded development approach. Shoring up its manufacturing base cannot be achieved solely through protecting domestic companies; it also requires a significant expansion of effective investment to create enough high‑quality jobs that can attract and retain skilled talent.
This is exactly where China‑Germany cooperation could deliver tangible results. According to the FDI Report 2025 published by Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), the total number of foreign investment projects in Germany fell 9.3 percent overall to 1,564 in 2025. Nonetheless, Chinese companies became the largest source of foreign investment projects in Germany in 2025, overtaking the US for the first time since 2017.
Chinese companies launched 228 investment projects in Germany in 2025, up 14.6 percent year-on-year. More than one in five Chinese investment projects involved production and R&D activities, above the overall average for foreign investment projects in Germany. This is a sign that Chinese firms are deepening their integration into the local industrial base, according to GTAI.
Observers noted the trend, pointing out that China is becoming an important force in driving German re‑industrialization. In industries where Germany urgently needs to rebuild its competitive edge, such as electric vehicles, batteries, energy technology, digital manufacturing, and automation, China is emerging as an increasingly significant complementary partner. In these critical areas that will determine industrial competitiveness in the coming decades, the relationship between China and Germany is not merely one of rivalry; there are clear and substantial complementarities. Germany still boasts world‑leading engineering expertise, precision manufacturing capabilities, and a strategic location at the heart of the European market.
China has complete and highly integrated supply chains for raw materials and intermediate goods and large capacity for increasing production. When Chinese automakers set up R&D centers in Germany, or when Chinese tech firms collaborate with German factories to build smart production lines, the beneficiaries are not only the Chinese companies but also the German engineers who would otherwise face redundancy.
Cross‑border investment cannot flourish without a sound policy environment. Chinese companies are apparently willing to develop in Germany, but it can only happen on the premise that the German side provides a fair, reasonable and predictable business environment, reduces non-market interference in commercial activities, and allows capital to operate in accordance with market rules.
If the two countries are able to reach a deeper level of cooperation in investment, many of Germany's trade‑related concerns may well find more pragmatic solutions. The deep integration of industrial value chains would facilitate two‑way trade, creating renewed momentum for German exports of machinery, vehicles, chemicals, and other competitive products to China.
。华为在一份声明中称，“被指控的员工行为与公司无关”。

三 | 这是华为在全球市场上的最新挫折。亚太地区的一些国家已经遵循了华盛顿关于华为禁令的呼吁，但欧洲的情况更加微妙，尤其是因为华为的5G能力非常有吸引力。分析人士说，华为的5G实力远远领先于爱立信、诺基亚和三星。”惠誉解决方案分析师Dexter Thillien表示，运营商已经考虑了替代方案，但他们已经意识到华为现在更具创新性，更适合5G合作伙伴。华为的能力和人才在网络安全方面受到越来越多的关注，目前美国、澳大利亚和日本都阻止了华为参与5G网络建设。但在欧洲，葡萄牙主要运营商Meo于12月与华为签署了一项协议，称赞中国公司“在研发技术和投资本地市场方面的知识、能力和人才”。

四 | 相比之下，挪威交通和通信部长在当地媒体上表示，挪威目前的大部分网络是由华为设备组成的，该国正在考虑如何降低其“脆弱性”，特别是对于“没有安全合作”的奥斯陆而言。英国国防部长加文·威廉姆森（GavinWilliamson）也表示，他“对华为在英国的5G网络设备深表关切”。_照片版权所有@c114。昂贵但更好的新闻杂志《明镜周刊》报道说，德国正面临来自华盛顿的压力。但中国的IT监管机构表示，没有证据表明华为使用其设备来监控其活动。与此同时，欧洲各地的电信运营商面临着迅速推出5G服务的巨大压力，他们似乎在淡化安全问题，因为华为的使用对他们来说具有商业意义。”如今，华为的价格比竞争对手贵得多，但要好得多。

五 | ”一位欧洲运营商的发言人说，由于事情的敏感性，他不会透露自己的名字。

六 | 他补充说，华为的设备质量“真正领先”于其欧洲竞争对手。

七 | 此外，“欧洲各地的运营商是加强控制的目标，华为的设备从未发现任何问题。

八 | ”一些大型运营商可能会拒绝在某些市场使用华为的设备，但在其他市场则不会。

九 | 法国电信运营商Orange此前曾表示，不会在法国市场使用华为的网络设备，但会继续在西班牙和波兰使用。德国电信已宣布与华为在波兰建立5G网络合作伙伴关系，但尚未透露是否将在德国市场合作。同时，华为也在努力证明自己的诚意。华为已与德国和英国政府合作在德国和英国开设了测试实验室，并将于今年第一季度末在布鲁塞尔开设一个新实验室。欧洲是华为的重要市场。其在欧洲、中东和非洲的销售额占集团2017年总销售额的27%，主要得益于欧洲运营商的支持。12月底，华为轮值主席郭平表示，华为“极不公平”。华为过去从未也不会对网络安全构成威胁，”他在新年致辞中表示。
