I don't know, which interview you are referring to, but I surely can provide some information, by Germany's most trusted magazine:

Germany 'Has Done Everything Right' on the Economy

How Germany's Export Strength Helps its Neighbors

The Dangers of Germany's Dependence on China

In case you are not interested in reading extensive articles, I could tell you some of my observations.

Germany has outsourced about as much as America. The reason why Germany still has a strong manufacturing sector is that most German companies have specialized in hi-tec and high quality products. There would be no way that Germany could compete with China and other Asian countries, when it comes to producing cheap, simple products.
