BERLIN—German firms should cut their dependence on the Chinese market, a leading industry group says in a strategy paper that underscores rising concern over Beijing’s state-driven economic model, according to a draft seen by Reuters.
The 25-page China position paper from the Federation of German Industries (BDI), to be published in January, argues that a long-promised opening of the Chinese market is unlikely to take place and voices concern about rising Communist party control over society and the economy.
