Germany, the 3th biggest GDP country is deindustrializing right now.
that def will hurt.
But we still have a lot of capital left, so plenty of ways to adress the elephant in the room. Its just very weird that the current CDU doesn't has any real good ideas.
USA has a certain amount of hands especially IT but otherwise? China runs circles around Europe and USA for everything else.
Btw. CDU was in power for 16 years and is more right wing than center. If you say left wing in sense of not protecting our own markets, i think this was accepted globally.
USA also can't make things anymore.
If no-one comes up with the general notion of a min of like 60% home made, none of it matters because rebuilding this will take a lot of time and money.
And even with a chip factory in USA, they still import most and automate as much as possible.
This might reduce the pressure on USA Loans but will not help the USA people themselves. They will just continue seeing a bigger and bigger split between poor and rich.
CDU is not right wing in the sense the Republicans are, certainly not today's version that is subservient to the German left.
In germany CDU is right wing though.
So from a wording point of view: generic term still would be CDU is right.
