China is ahead in biotech, IoT, AR, and a bunch of other areas, and have grown the only serious IaaS competitor to Amazon. The future is here already, much the rest of the world (particularly in the US) has its head in the sand, wheeling out the tired old trope about China being a nation of copycats. If that were ever true, it isn't true anymore.
- mattnewton 10y agoI believe it. It just doesn't make sense that everyone would move to the US before starting their idea, the sheer volume of people in China means that they will have so much personal capital they should be leading a lot of these fields. Everyone starts as "a copycat". It doesn't matter; consumers benefit from competition.
