German automakers scramble to reduce China dependence after Nexperia crisis (Digitimes)
|
|
|
Germany's three automotive giants—Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz—are facing an increasingly difficult balancing act. China remains its largest and most profitable market, yet the recent crisis involving Nexperia, the Dutch chipmaker owned by China's Wingtech Technology, has once again exposed the structural risks of its deep reliance on Chinese supply chains. The episode has forced all three companies to accelerate efforts to reduce their dependence on China....

Vineyard owners say sales slump, Trump tariffs and worst harvest in 70 years have put producers in danger of closureFrench winemakers are often accused of viewing the glass as half empty. Dire warnings about the state of the sector – one of the three pillars of the country's economy – are a hardy perennial blamed on everything from geopolitics to a drop in the number of drinkers.Before a crisis meeting with the agriculture minister on Monday, vineyard owners say an unprecedented series of setbacks, including some of the worst harvests in 70 years, has left many of them on their last legs.

With a million young people locked out of work, the UK′s hidden jobs crisis is only growing | John Harris (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Held back by Covid and then phased out by AI, Britain's so-called Neets are desperately seeking a secure future. Who will offer them hope?Another week, another set of sobering economic numbers. Last Thursday, the Office for National Statistics published its latest quarterly estimate of the number of 16- to 24-year-olds who are so-called Neets – people not in education, employment or training. As usual, experts have warned that figures extracted from the UK's flawed labour force survey should be taken with a pinch of salt. But there was still universal agreement about the huge issues the figures highlighted, and the hundreds of thousands of young people, 946,000, if the stats are to be believed, who are living on the UK's social and economic edge.The government has announced its latest review of all this, led by the New Labour veteran Alan Milburn, who will apparently focus on the relevance of disability and mental health. This week, moreover, Rachel Reeves is reportedly going to make the predicament ...

Americans are feeling the pain of the affordability crisis: ′There′s not any wiggle room′ (The Guardian)
|
|

The costs of groceries, housing, childcare, education and healthcare have become intolerable to manyFrozen dinners were useful when no one was home to cook. A fancy cheese or apple roll felt like a family treat. But not any more. “We can't afford to do those little luxuries any more because they're just too expensive to feed five with,” says Cat Hill. “There's not any wiggle room.”The 43-year-old from Hornby, New York, has been hit by both higher grocery prices and rising costs for her small business running a horse stable. Under Donald Trump, she worries it may get even harder. “With this administration, it doesn't appear to be stabilising,” she adds. “It's hard to think about how exactly we are going to ride this out.” Continue reading......

EU-Digital Summit Exposes Europe's Innovation Crisis
Submitted by Thomas Kolbe
It was summit season again in Berlin. After crisis meetings with the automotive and steel industries, attention on Tuesday turned to the next trouble spot: the digital economy. So far, EU regulators have literally strangled it.
Grand reception at Berlin's EUREF campus: Around 900 participants from politics, business, and science across Europe traveled to the capital for the Digital Summit. Among the prominent speakers: Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, both currently facing stiff political headwinds at home.
EU Europe has now officially entered crisis mode on the political level as well. The sheer number of economic summits reflects this and bodes ill for the coming years. Looking at the digital economy, which has initiated the next major economic revolution, one must conclude: the panic mode in Brussels, Paris, and Berlin is justified.
The technological gap between the Eurozone...

KI-Krise an den Börsen: Der König ist stark, aber sein Königreich bröckelt (Das Investment)
|
|
|
Nvidia liefert Rekordergebnisse – und trotzdem stürzt der KI-Markt ab. Willkommen in einer Branche, die nicht mehr an sich selbst glaubt.Am Donnerstag passierte etwas Merkwürdiges an der Börse. Nvidia verkündete Zahlen, die eigentlich jeden Investor in Jubelstürme versetzen müssten. Umsatz plus 62 Prozent. Gewinn durch die Decke. Die Nachfrage nach ihren KI-Chips so hoch, dass man mit der Produktion kaum nachkommt. Die Aktie? Steht immer noch prächtig da. Ein bisschen Gezappel während des Handelstags, klar. Aber im Großen und Ganzen läuft es für Jensen Huang und seine Truppe weiterhin bestens. Der eigentliche Crash fand woanders statt....

America's Real Crisis: The Collapse Of The Citizen
Authored by Kay Rubacek via The Epoch Times,
Across the free world, people are exhausted, institutions appear unresponsive, and leaders feel distant. Politics remains an endless quarrel. In this climate, a new idea is taking hold, that perhaps the machines can do better.
Billionaire technologist and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has publicly cautioned against this temptation while acknowledging why it is on the rise. When democracies fail to deliver, he notes, people naturally look for something—anything—that promises competence.
Surveys from 2025 even show that many citizens now trust artificial intelligence (AI) systems to make decisions on their behalf more than their elected representatives. It's a striking shift, but it reveals something more troubling than the technology itself.
The real crisis facing America and the West is not technological; it is moral. Democracies do not weaken because their tools become outdated; they weaken ...

China Prepares New Property Stimulus Package As Housing Crisis Enters Year Six
The global stimmy train is about to leave the station.
With Japan - which is now in recession - set to announce a massive (for its GDP) $150BN fiscal stimulus any second, it's (increasingly belligerent) neighbor to the west is also about to make it rain.
China is considering new measures to turn around its zombified property market, about to enter its 6th year of contraction, as concerns mount that a further weakening of the sector will threaten to destabilize its financial system, Bloomberg reports
Policymakers including the housing ministry are considering a slew of options, such as providing new homebuyers mortgage subsidies for the first time nationwide. Other measures being floated include raising income tax rebates for mortgage borrowers and lowering home transaction costs.
