That makes sense that people in Asia would feel that way. With the tariffs China is being hit the worst, and it's probably rippling to that general region. Also, it makes sense Germany is slowing. Germany's economy is strongly based on higher end exports, but with the drama with Brexit, and US tariffs, Germany is going to be mildly hit, but in the long run, asia has slowly been exporting higher end products. Anecdotal but, 5 years ago I'd buy German made speakers, but today the same companies are manufacturing them in China. Germany is trying to transition to white collar and has been for a few years now, trying to offer good incentives for software engineers to move to Germany.
