  • The Economist.

  • Hello and welcome to The Intelligence from The Economist.

  • I'm Rosie Blau.

  • Today on the show, how adaptable is Europe's industry?

  • And joined-up handwriting makes a comeback.

  • But first,

  • Some say the second China shock is looming.

  • But it's already here.

  • European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a warning recently

  • in her annual State of the Union address.

  • Our trade deficit with China is now €1 billion a day.

  • It has reached a tipping point.

  • The European Union's industrial complex is under strain from high energy costs, cheap imports, and geopolitical turmoil.

  • This is unsustainable.

  • Five European carmakers have already issued profit warnings this year.

  • All of that sounds pretty alarming.

  • But is this anxiety really warranted?

  • If you look across the landscape of European industry, I think there are some reasons to be hopeful.

  • Guy Scriven is our global business writer.

  • There's plenty of damage, but I think that's confined to a handful of sectors.
