He said since COVID-19, the Chinese economy is worsening every day, describing the Chinese economy and their order situation as “poorly”. He was working on a commission basis for an industrial robotics company. His base salary – he said – is only covering his “insurances”, nothing more. When a sales person like this talks, you listen. His livelihood depends on actual transactions, not theoretical models. The overall quiet at most supplier booths at the exhibition only amplified his concerns.
