What about this[0] move by Adidas pulling Asian production back to Germany (but now completed by robots instead of humans). Clearly a loss for factories in Asia, but much of a win for anybody but Adidas ?

There is a win for Germany: - more opportunities for high skilled robotics engineers, so they can stay at home, and don't move to US - tax income for country, which can be spend wisely.


Sure, it's great for Germany. Those robots don't maintain themselves.
