Informative, thought provoking and sobering for such a short piece. The only aspect of China's (and everyone else's) future ain't what it used to be, the Trillion pound elephant in the machine as it were, is of course A.I. (人工智能) with its 300 million and growing surveillance cameras among other unknown and perhaps unspeakable aspects. Just as the nose knows so too the subconscious. But yes, that's a whole nother story and deserves an ongoing expose of its own. What was it Putin said to the students not too long ago? Ohhhh riiiight, "whoever leads in artificial intelligence will be the ruler of the world" No small hyperbole, that.
