Research notes
The Chinese arc runs hand → gun → machine → printing (热转印). Citation check (Oct 2026, from search results; pages not opened): partly confirmed. The quote is confirmed, from 白洪伟 of 凯利地毯, describing output after an equipment upgrade to heat-transfer printing. The source says nothing about hand-weaving being 'killed'. The thesis 'what killed hand-weaving was printing, not tufting' and the arc 'hand → gun → machine → printing' are the brief's inference. Add the speaker and source.
