Die Nazis belegen Küpper mit einem Redeverbot. Nach 1945 tritt er wieder auf. 1952 zeigt Küpper auf der Bühne erneut den Hitlergruß und ruft: „Et ess ald widder am rähne“ (Es regnet schon wieder) und kritisiert damit den Einfluss alter Nazi-Kader. Er erhält wieder Redeverbot. 2/2

Geen idee maar het is platter: het is de Pauwredactie die ophef zoekt en denkt dat iedereen het er dan de volgende dag over heeft en dat dat belangrijk is. ‘En Nederland is nu eenmaal rechts’.

Het is journalistieke betonrot: daar is geen bestuurder voor nodig. Wel zwakke hoofdredactionele leiding

The best way to stop the second China shock? China raises domestic demand, and especially consumption.

But China shows little to no willingness to do so. So the EU and other trade partners have little choice but to respond with second-best tools like trade barriers and industrial policies.

The ECB warning here is key: "In Q4 the average monthly value of domestic sales was around 4x higher than total exports and over 28x larger than exports to the US. This suggests the pool of goods that could be redirected to the EU is much broader than trade data alone would suggest."

"...as the drag from low levels of domestic household consumption is no longer masked by a turbo-charged property sector."

Still, the ECB is 100% right to say diversion from US tariffs isn't the core issue - China's explosive exports predate the second Trump administration (see nice chart).

As CER wrote in Jan "Industrial policies on their own would only generate successes in some sectors – they would not typically generate a big rise in China’s overall trade surplus. The second rise in China’s trade surpluses also reflects renewed surging internal imbalances in China’s economy.."
