I found this amusing: "This is a BGI innovation: replacing expensive machines with people." Probably because it seems contrary to the common (western?) opinion that workers might eventually be replaced by "cheaper" machines. (fwiw I'm aware that it's not that simple, but from my experience many people think machines are always cheaper than human workers)
