This is the least head on method... give the app ten years. China makes everything and eventually if you want to buy from China you will be made to use the app.

This is the least head on method... give the app ten years. China makes everything and eventually if you want to buy from China you will be made to use the app. China uses the Microsoft method. Embrace, extend, extinguish.
- Arnt 6y agoYou realise it's not a single app? Rather, it's universal connectivity dressed up in buzzwords. Today, people ship little things in their containers that report e.g. temperature aberrations, so when you take delivery of something you can see whether it's been cooled continuously. The article is saying that these things will instead report temperature (and other things) online, so you can monitor the temperature in each container of your mango/yoghurt/fish/… shipment in real time. If you as buyer don't want to, why would the seller care? But if you want to sell to a buyer who's used to that from many other sellers, you might have a problem. So Chinese technology replaces dollar escrow.
