German industry is aiming to diversify away from China, but pulling back from its biggest trading partner could come at a high price.

“Asia is much bigger than China,” Federation of German Industry chief Siegfried Russwurm recently told a conference of its members, which includes some of Germany’s largest investors in China from the car industry to the chemical and mechanical engineering sectors.

A major Asian-German business conference will be held in Singapore in November, partly focused on diversification and possible business opportunities in Asian nations other than the world’s second-largest economy. A decoupling of the EU and Germany from China, which would prompt retaliatory measures from Beijing, could cost Germany almost six times as much as Brexit, the Munich-based Ifo economic institute warned in a report this month. The car industry would be the biggest loser if Beijing decided to shut German companies out of its markets, amid a showdown with Western allies.

China launches reusable space planeANU astrophysicist and cosmologist Dr Brad Tucker says China has launched a reusable space plane. “It’s quite secretive; they didn’t announce exactly what the nature of the project is but based on estimates of what was launched and where it’s gone, it appears to be something like a small space shuttle,” he told Sky News Australia. “A lot smaller than how the space shuttle was but more importantly, it doesn’t have humans in it, and it’s very similar, we think, to what we call the X37B.” Dr Tucker said the X37B was a Boeing-built United States plane, which is not designed for human transportation but can go to space, stay in orbit and can be operated remotely “like a drone”. “It has this weird combination of being an activity like a satellite, a platform for putting things in space but landing to be reused,” he said. “Now, the US’ one, we’ve known, can stay up there for literally years in orbit, landing safely, and then being relaunched.” Dr Tucker said there was a Chinese test of a similar rocket a few years ago, but the craft only stayed in orbit for three days.

We have been weaponised to believe war with Russia and China is inevitableWhether it's Russia's war with the West or the China-US crisis in Taiwan, there is a growing acceptance of the fact a major war is the new reality and that a nuclear war is the next possibility. Meaning the end off the world. Once nuclear Fox News deals in Kremlin propaganda. So why not freeze Rupert Murdoch’s assets? The Murdoch warmongerers are at it again 🤦‍♂️
