Looking at the article of "Robots added per year" is it really a surprise? When the country that makes most robots already uses these robots to manufacture their own robots?

And it's not even just that look at Solar, Germany wasted trilions of dollars, decades or research, endless goverment subsidies to it's own people to adopt solar in a region where it's beyond subpar. All with the hopes of one day coming out on top as the leaders of Solar Manufacturing in the world.
