Given that just a few months ago a lot of the HN crowd was frantically down voting anyone who was predicting such a thing and denouncing them as CCP simply for being realistic I think it's a good thing that they are being humbled a bit.

Being humbled isn't a bad thing. I grew in Germany and until I moved to Asia, I actually thought that most of everything that has a name that can remotely be pronounced in a German fashion was in fact German. I suspect that that is very much the case for large numbers of Americans and even more so in the European and American political class.

That requires to be pretty sheltered, culturally, though. I’m (also German) pretty much on the opposite end, and regularly surprised how many things are indeed German.

I had a kind of funny example of that, a Chinese student named Weiman buying a cart full of Weiman brand cleaning products. Pronounced totally different.
