The timing of the call between Niinistö and Xi was incidentally interesting because just two days ago, Finnish OP Banking Group published their annual survey where they had asked large Finnish companies whether the rise of China will strengthen their industries, and 57 per cent of the respondents answered no - while almost 36 per cent estimated that a rising China is, in fact, a direct threat to them. yle.fi/a/74-20067981

Yes I see the point, but most of the risks mentioned are geopolitical (the reduced growth rate is not a massive factor, imho), and those risks depend on the West not accepting China's foreign and internal policy (the trade war started by the US and Taiwan), so, it's not China damaging the industries, but the foreign policy we're carrying on (and Arho Havrén, contrarily to me, can even think it's a good policy, ok, I'm not trying to change her ideas, just making a point).
