Photonics in Times of Trouble for International Trade

This article in the Photonics Spotlight addresses the current serious concerns about the future of international trade and more generally international cooperation. Some key points:

The German trade surplus deserves attention, but claiming unfair practices without differentiating between different sectors of the economy is just stupid talk.

Already announced changes of US policy constitute a serious threat of beginning trade wars, which could have disastrous consequences.

There are also ruthless attacks on essential values, contributing to a breakdown of cooperation.

If we do not stop these developments in time, we may get into the big crunch.

We must fiercely defend fundamental values as well as international cooperation, because this is the only chance to solve a wide range of serious problems.
