But you can see these industries in Europe, Japan already losing ground in pretty significant ways.

So for those officials in Tokyo and Brussels, what advice would you give them?

And Wendy, you're actually sitting in Berlin, I think.

Is that right?

Yeah.

And it seems like there's a really interesting conversation in Germany right now about Germany's industrial edge and losing it quickly to Chinese competitors.

So how have you seen the conversation, even just in Berlin, in terms of how advances in embodied AI, in robotics, are going to shape the future of

how Germany needs to think about global economic security.

And I ask in part because if we think about the future of European policy in Brussels and the European Union, I mean, I think in the past, Germany's hesitance to take big steps to deal with broader issues of Chinese overcapacity have been a limiting factor for Europe as a whole.

And it seems like that may be starting to change as the scale of the challenge kind of becomes more apparent.

But how does that look

We're almost out of time.

I just want to ask one more question about how we should think about where robotics fits in to China's broader innovation ecosystem in G7 capitals.

There's been a lot of focus on very high-end semiconductor capabilities.

And you can argue by how much, but I think there's a sense that U.S.

firms are still significantly ahead in that space, even as Chinese competitors work very hard to indigenize their own leading edge.

Then you have on the other side of the like, how are G7 countries doing spectrum EVs and battery technology, where we're doing very badly by comparison to Chinese players that are just dominating the global space.

And then you have robotics and embodied AI.

And it seems from our conversation that where China's industry, where China's capability fits in to a global spectrum is maybe somewhere in the middle between that semiconductor and that EV conversation.

But China's ambitions for embodied AI are racing ahead.
