Jeff Bezos became the richest man in the world by building a surveillance state for everyone else, but when the tables turned on him, he throws a fit. What’s good for the goose is apparently not good for the gander.
China is proving that Technocracy is expansionary, seeking beyond its own people to dominate the whole world. 5G, AI and IoT are the three most important technologies to achieve that goal, and thus, China intends to dominate all three.
