There was never a "China shock" most of the things China exported in 2000s was things that were already not make in the US. like toys, clothing and other consumer goods.
NAFTA was a bigger "shock" because that lead to jobs losses in the auto industry, steel and other heavy industries that was the backbone of US industrial jobs. The rise of the Asian semiconductor manufacturing giants like in TSMC in Taiwan province and Samsung in Korea lead to the demise of US semiconductor manufacturing industry, another "shock", but nothing to do with Mainland China.
The reality is that the US (GOP) aversion to domestic investment and the US obsession to maintain the dollar supremacy it was more responsible than any trade deal.

The issue with Germany is the energy costs are eating what little advantage the Germans have, nobody is going to buy German machine tools if they are too expensive. Banning "parts" from China is only going to increase manufacturing costs of making these high end goods. To survive Germany need to solve its energy crisis fast.
To make things worse, China rise in semiconductors is due US export controls. Huawei was one the biggest buyer of US-European design and make chips. After company was blacklisted shifted to the domestic market. China as societal whole, not the government desires, as a whole, had to develop a semiconductor industry out necessity because US-European-Japanese controls. To a point that governments subsidies are not the majority of the funds coming into their semiconductor industry.

So if the Dutch ever loss their lithography empire to China, instead of blaming China they should go to think tanker houses and beat them with their own shoes.

Comment under this video posted on Bilibili:

"I have even more respect for Xuanzang now, knowing that he went over there, debated a whole bunch of these guys and actually got them to admit defeat."
Back in the good old days you can get executed for losing faith based debates in India. No wonder they are such masters at the craft.

Financial Times revised their story multiple times after being exposed misleading readers with deceit and lies.
It is not media like FT that Soft Power pay attention but when Chinese professor make definite statements than they look much deeper.
He made this statement in 2024 not realizing that Putin visited Royal Kingdoms in December 2023.
Saudi was re-unified and never was colonized throughout history was the message but it does not say much about Putin.
those things were revealed much later. one is this SVR head definite statement regarding USSR.
than Saudi Journalist was invited to BRICS journalist meeting where Putin told him that Russia has unlimited energy resources or Wealth. that was message to Russian muslims because after Royal Kingdoms visit Putin gained further insights into there capabilities and Putin i am sure wanted to do things internally that only they are capable of doing.
that wording Russian must adopt traditional values or cease to exist or the definition of a true muslim. It is not just regarding religion the visible capabilities of Russian AI increased exponentially.
for example if Ukranian woman married to Chinese and that Ukranian woman has Ukranian flag on inside window at back of the car in any video these Russian could figure it out from social media. It is always AI+Soft Power.

we are not in same timeline, su57 being mocked everyday
Comparing Su-57 to F-35 is like comparing Wide body Airliner to narrow body. Widebody enjoy higher cruise speed, comfort, payload and three times range. Any fighter that Europe is going to use will become second rate.
see the wording Internal payload exceed 5,000kg, combat radius exceeding 1500km, and that is Su-57E info by the channel than he got some expert. he already gave indication of two seater in that interview. Su-57D.
This the message from the expert. Updated continuously 24/7.

Michael Bay to Direct Operation Epic Fury Rescue Movie for Universal​

Michael Bay is enlisting for an Operation Epic Fury movie, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

The Universal Pictures film is based on the true story of April’s rescue of two downed American pilots in Iran after their F-15E Strike Eagle was struck down during the United States’ attack on the country. It is based on Mitchell Zuckoff’s forthcoming book about the rescue mission, which arrives via Harper Collins in 2027.

Bay will direct and produce with Erwin Stoff and Scott Gardenhour.

The filmmaker is known for working with the U.S. military on previous projects, consulting with it on movies such as The Rock, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Transformers and 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. The latter film was based on a book by Zuckoff, the journalist and professor of communications at Boston University.

Bay’s movies have grossed more than $10 billion at the global box office. He was most recently in theaters with the 2022 crime thriller Ambulancestarring Jake Gyllenhaal and Yayha Abdul-Mateen II. He is known for two Bad Boys movies and Pain & Gain. Though he has not directed a feature since 2022, he is also active as a producer via his Platinum Dunes, where he produces the A Quiet Place movies and The Purge franchise.

Bay is repped by CAA, Range, and Hanson Jacobson. Stoff is repped by CAA and Hanson Jacobson. Gardenhour is repped by Loeb. Zuckoff is repped by 3 Arts.

So we get the choice to watch Operation Sindoor and Operation Epstein’s Door in the future.
