Yeah i heard the same from friends and family that work in construction a good self employed bricklayer can earn 80~100 euro/hour on the books if he is willing to travel to the big cities. I also have a couple of friends that do some off the books weekend/afterwork work as pavers earning close to 60 euro/hour straight in their pockets on certain projects.

BYD really produces everything. This is by the electronics division producing AR glasses for Inmo Technology.
This thing really looks pretty cool and here is a nikkei article on it when it first got advertised

You can see how frightened they are at the idea of having to compete fairly with Chinese companies.

We find that among the treated, Asian scientists are more affected for both NIH-funded and China-funded publications. Scientists were affected not only in terms of quantity but also the influence of their research output.
As shown, the treated group (US scientists that collaborate with China) is consistently more productive throughout the studied period. In other words, those with a collaboration history with scientists in China are among the more productive group of U.S. scientists. However, the productivity gap between the treated and the control appears to shrink after 2018, suggesting possible influence of political tensions (Trump's China Initiative). Note that the decline begins in 2019, before the pandemic in 2020.
Figure 6 shows the correlation between the estimates of the impact of NIH investigations on citations (x-axis) and the estimates on research progress based on the difference-in-differences design.
As shown, there exists a positive correlation between our estimates and the increases in publications by field, indicating that the fields that are more affected by the U.S.-China political tensions have produced fewer new publications during 2019–2021 relative to the rest of the world. Interestingly, this positive relationship holds for both the U.S. and China. The slopes are 0.34 for the U.S. and 0.53 for China, suggesting that both countries appear to lose from these political tensions.
The study:
With a China friendly gov't in Malaysia, Huawei Cloud & TOGL signed deal to partner up for improving internet experience in Malaysia
And of course, now Malaysian getting warned because it's opening bid for Huawei in 5G network. imo, Chinese govt should invest even more in Malaysian economy to get it to see the positives of working with China. If Europeans want to leave, it's their loss

Combine that with AI. It's one way to solve any labor shortage. Let the simpler drones do all the war fighting, and let human-like AI-powered drones handle domestic services.
