Depends where they are. I live here and I’m not sure where this is, I do know that way more than 50% of escalators I use in the country are just dead due to cost cutting measures.

You live in China? Cool.

Tell us what's going on there, is the economy really shit? Are the demographics as bad as they say? Are the EVs really cool like we've seen on YouTube? In general, are things looking up or down? How have the tariffs been recieved?

So hard to get a true sense of what's going on there.
