The Siemens Alstom company merger is also the story about Europe competing with China.
Europe, which has been positioned to be the world's most influential superpower in this century, is now moving ahead to make that claim, and reality.
So it's not just Siemens and Alstom joining, the deal had to be approved and supported by France and Germany.
Slowly but surely, Europe keeps moving out in front of the United States in positioning itself for success in this century.
