Since2016,

In

decreasedsubstantially.

This

industry

was

among

the

thatsuffered

from

the

trade

conflict,

as

during

and

in

all

kinds

of

engineering,

including

automotive

and

The

limited

capacity

and

the

disruptions

in

becauseof

the

have

demonstrated

the

of

42%

to

119,405

in

this

building

a

This

gap

remained

large,

some

13,000
