So ist es, @hal2022
Und der lahmende Welthandel ist ein riesiges Problem für demografisch implodierende Staaten wie China 🇨🇳 , Taiwan 🇹🇼, Japan 🇯🇵 , Südkorea 🇰🇷. Zumal auch die Taiwanstraße blockiert werden könnte.
All diese ostasiatischen Staaten haben über Jahrzehnte ihre nachlassende Binnen-Nachfrage durch Exporte ausgeglichen. Und das wird schon jetzt immer schwerer & teurer.
Europa sollte sich mit mehr Recycling ♻️, eigenen Rohstoffen, mehr Technologie - Forschung (Halbleiter), FOSS & erneuerbaren #Heimatenergien unabhängiger machen. Jede Woche zählt… #Welthandel #Demografie #Trump #China #Japan #Taiwanstrait #Taiwanstraße #Südkorea #Export #Nachfragekrise #EU

Bill Bishop reports — (Chinese) Eastern Theater Command Organizes Army, Navy, Air Force, and Rocket Forces to Conduct Joint Military Exercises Around Taiwan Island 东部战区组织陆海空火等兵力位台岛周边开展联合演训 http://www.news.cn/20250401/01ebd5f546944c89ad0104c4a0fb0d97/c.html Eastern Theater Command spokesperson, Senior Colonel Shi Yi of the Army, stated that beginning April 1, the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army is organizing forces from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Rocket Force to conduct multi-directional approaches toward Taiwan Island in the surrounding areas. The exercises will focus on training in maritime and air combat readiness patrols, seizing comprehensive control, strikes against maritime and land targets, and blockading key areas and passages, to test the joint combat capabilities of the theater forces. This should be seen as a warning to Taiwan and the US & allies. #China #Taiwan #Asia #ChineseNavalThreat #ChineseMilitary #TaiwanStrait #SouthChinaSea #NavalBlockaid #NavalWarfare
