Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that business journalist Philipp Mattheis was in China for the first time last week in nearly exactly six years. According to Mattheis, around 500,000 industrial jobs have been lost in Germany between 2019 and 2025; for 2026, he cites another 15,000 positions per month. The automotive industry, mechanical engineering, and suppliers are particularly affected. According to Boeminghaus, Mattheis contrasted China's investments in cities, power plants, factories, and infrastructure with the condition of German bridges and railways, as well as high energy costs. At the same time, Mattheis criticizes the increasing state regulation in Europe: the continent is adopting control mechanisms commonly seen in China without advancing its economic modernization. Boeminghaus warned, referencing Mattheis, that Germany risks becoming an economic ruin due to its own political decisions. https://t.co/CRj4CtYeKn #China #Deutschland #Wirtschaftskrise (translated)

Prof. Matthias Moosdorf stated that peace in Ukraine, in his view, would only be possible without Volodymyr Zelensky. He claimed that Zelensky does not want to end the war and referenced Donald Trump. Zelensky's legitimacy in his own country has been lost: he is governing without a vote on an extended term, has suspended parties, exerted pressure on critical media, and closed spaces for dissenting opinions. Many Ukrainians no longer see him as their representative, Moosdorf wrote, citing remarks from Vitali Klitschko. Moscow is very skeptical about making agreements with Zelensky, and Washington has understood this, Moosdorf noted. This is also increasingly being discussed in Europe. As long as Zelensky remains in power, he believes the war will continue. Moosdorf accused the EU of deriving further aid and sanction packages from Zelensky's demands and escalations. He described a mutual dependency in which Zelensky receives money to maintain power, while EU bureaucrats gain political significance. At the same time, he pointed to high electricity bills, closed factories, increasing migration, and a growing restriction of freedom of speech in Europe. According to Moosdorf, the government in Kyiv lives off corruption and war and will not end the conflict. He also claimed that Ukrainian men are being sent to war through forced conscriptions or driven out of the country. He believes that invoking European values serves the power retention of political decision-makers. In conclusion, he called for support for peace and Trump. #Frieden #Ukraine #Zelensky (translated)

A new study shows that the definition of Made in Europe is crucial for the impact on investments and employment in the EU and could potentially lead to new factories with European trading partners instead of in the EU. #MadeInEurope #EuropäischeIndustrie #ÖffentlicheBeschaffung (translated)

We will present our concept in the fall and then get started as quickly as possible. "We have had enough of that," said Hubertz. We also do not want a new construction company, but rather to collaborate with market partners to fully utilize the factories with our orders. The federal partners can be from the private sector or also municipal and state-owned housing corporations, said Hubertz. As a federation, we can award contracts on a large scale and thus achieve a price advantage. #Wohnungsmangel #Baugesellschaft #Berlin (translated)

Free Ukraine reported that Yandex's largest data center, in Sasovo, 140 miles from Ukraine, had been affected overnight and that Yandex Cloud's services had encountered major issues. According to the post, the data center had an estimated capacity of 12 MW and tens of thousands of servers, and a wide range of services in Russia faced problems throughout the day. Free Ukraine also wrote that the Sasta factory, which among other things manufactured CNC machines for the Russian war industry, was located in the same industrial area. The post stated that it was unclear how extensive the damage to the factory had been. #Yandex #Ryssland #Datacenter (translated)

Christian Miele listed twelve challenges that Germany must overcome, in his opinion. Electricity and labor are expensive for companies: employers pay an average of around 45 euros per work hour, about 29 percent more than in the EU. In addition, high network fees and levies have increased energy costs; Germany exited nuclear power before sufficiently cheap and reliable alternatives were available. Long approval processes, according to Miele, also deter companies from investing. He named demographic change, rising contributions, and immigration that often does not lead to employment quickly enough as further problems. The shortage of skilled workers is real, he wrote, but uncontrolled immigration burdens households and municipalities. The Bundeswehr is also still inadequately equipped after decades of underfunding: the NATO target of 2 percent has long been missed, and there is still a lack of personnel, ammunition, and operational equipment. Miele wrote that Germany’s economy is hardly growing on its own: it shrank in 2023 and 2024 and only grew by 0.2 percent in 2025. Industry is producing less than it did a few years ago. In addition to taxes, levies, and energy costs, he pointed to weak demand, competition from China, and a lack of new products. In education, about one in three 15-year-olds does not reach the basic level in mathematics and reading; the gap between children from poor and rich families is as large as it has been since the beginning of the PISA tests. At the same time, there is a shortage of teachers and many school buildings are dilapidated. Among the further challenges, Miele listed the need for renovation of roads, bridges, railways, and schools. The municipal investment backlog is over 200 billion euros, about 55 billion of which is for schools alone. In his view, excessively high rents, low construction activity, and long approval processes also make it difficult to move to cities with open positions. The state is slow in digitization; many applications are still on paper, and internet coverage in rural areas is patchy. Finally, Miele warned that government spending is increasing without the economy growing correspondingly. Pensions, social services, and interest compete with defense and infrastructure for the same funds. If debt grows faster than economic output, there will be less room for investment later on, he wrote. Ultimately, the working people would bear the consequences, Miele explained, and he asked for his readers' assessments. #Herausforderungen #Wirtschaft #Deutschland (translated)

Russia finally draws the red line: Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova officially stated that all European factories and facilities producing weapons, ammunition, and military equipment for Ukraine are now considered "legitimate military targets" of the Russian armed forces. This makes it clear that all of Europe's arms deep space is on the target map – and it is called the last warning to Europe. #Russland #Ukraine #Rüstung (translated)

Es ist der Anfang vom Ende der deutschen Autoindustrie. Das Auto der Zukunft hat kein Lenkrad. Die Menschen steigen ein und sagen einfach wohin sie gefahren werden möchten. Diese Autos werden nun in den Fabriken von Tesla in Serienproduktion hergestellt. Mercedes und Volkswagen können in dieser Technologieklasse nicht konkurrieren. Elon Musk knockt sie aus, indem er das Innovationstempo der gesamten Branche beschleunigte. Es ist kein Zufall, dass US-Firmen Deutschland technologisch abhängen. Europäische Politiker haben ein innovationsfeindliches Umfeld erschaffen, das Unternehmertum abwürgt. #Autoindustrie #Innovation #Elektromobilität

#Volkswagen: Aufsichtsrat und Vorstand haben sich geeinigt. Der Kahlschlag kommt! Die Fabriken werden schließen! Wow! https://t.co/6sIM0h9OiV #Volkswagen #Fabriken #Schließungen

Ich frage mich wie genau soll ein VW Werk an einem deutschen Standort funktionieren, wenn die Personalkosten und Herstellungskosten dank Steuern und Abgaben auf das weltweit höchste Niveau gestiegen sind? Die verschieben halt Arbeitsplätze und Fabriken in Länder mit günstigeren Standortfaktoren. Wiederum verlangt VW 1.700 € für ein Navi mit veralteten Karten vor 3 Jahren, gleichzeitig zahlen sie fette Boni an Manager und über die fetten Jahre hat sich dort so ein riesiger Wasserkopf an Mitarbeitern mit fettesten Tarifverträgen gebildet, wo die Mitarbeiter selbst nichtmal wissen, was sie dort für ne Aufgabe haben. Deutschland im Endstadium. #VW #Deutschland #Wirtschaft

Erinnern wir uns noch an die neuen Chip-Fabriken, die in Dresden entstehen sollten? Nur Pleiten, abgesagt. Elon Musk baut sie jetzt - in Texas. Und 10-fach größer. Während die EU reguliert starten die US-Tech-Konzerne in die nächste Dimension durch. https://t.co/4dnfxIrCiY #ChipFabriken #ElonMusk #Technologie #DE #US

Deutschland ruiniert sich selbst - mit offenen Augen! 15 Jahre LINKSGRÜNER Wohlfühl-Politik haben die stärkste Industrienation Europas an die Wand gefahren: ❌ Energiepreise explodieren ❌ Bürokratie erstickt Innovation ❌ Leistungsträger wandern ab ❌ Fabriken schließen ❌ https://t.co/kcUBvKOyVH #Deutschland #Politik #Industrie #DE

@TiloJung Keiner investiert noch einen Cent in einem Land, in dem er jederzeit enteignet werden kann. Nicht nur in Wohnungen nicht, sondern auch in Fabriken nicht und in Handel nicht. Weil keiner wissen kann, was den verrückten Sozialisten als nächstes einfällt. #Investitionen #Sozialismus #Wirtschaft

Keine einzige Rakete. NICHT EINE wurde abgeschossen. 28 Raketen hat Russland in der Nacht auf die Ukraine abgefeuert: 24 ballistische Iskander-M und vier Zirkon-Hyperschallraketen. Der Schwerpunkt des Angriffs lag auf Kyjiw und dem Umland. @dennistrubetskoy berichtet von vor Ort, dass der buchstäbliche Raketenhagel kaum 15 Minuten dauerte. Nicht eine einzige dieser Raketen konnte die ukrainische Flugabwehr abschießen. Nicht, weil die Ukrainer plötzlich vergessen hätten, wie Flugabwehr funktioniert. Sondern weil die Patriot-Abfangraketen, die solche Ziele stoppen können, praktisch aufgebraucht sind. Heute Nacht kamen daher 28 von 28 russischen Raketen durch. Mindestens 15 Menschen wurden getötet, 42 verletzt. Menschen, die in Kyjiw und Umgebung geschlafen, gearbeitet oder einfach nur versucht haben, einen weiteren Tag dieses Krieges zu überleben. Die Bergungsarbeiten laufen noch. Dass Donald Trump weiterhin hadert, ob die Ukraine Patriot-Abfangraketen überhaupt selbst produzieren darf, ist bekannt. Doch selbst wenn hier ein Wunder geschähe: Der Aufbau der Produktion könnte Jahre dauern. Russland braucht 15 Minuten, um 28 Raketen auf eine europäische Hauptstadt zu feuern. Der Westen braucht Jahre, um der Ukraine zu helfen, sich wirksam dagegen zu wehren. Hätte sie rechtzeitig genügend Abfangraketen und weitreichende Waffen wie Taurus erhalten, könnte Russland seine Raketen nicht derart ungestört produzieren, lagern, verlegen und auf ukrainische Städte abschießen. Fabriken, Depots und Startplätze wären die Ziele, statt immer wieder Kyjiw. #Ukraine #Russland #Krieg

Der Chiphersteller TSMC profitiert stark vom KI-Boom, erhöht seine Umsatzprognose für 2026 auf über 40 Prozent, plant Investitionen von 60 bis 64 Milliarden US-Dollar in neue Technologien und Fabriken und baut seine Produktionskapazitäten in den USA aus, um die Abhängigkeit von Taiwan zu verringern. #TSMC #Halbleiterindustrie #KIBoom
