Have you considered that if the worlds two superpowers are dead certain on this being an important area that they are willing to throw coutless billions of investment into, that they might know more than you do?
Yeah. But then i remembered some history facts and how lobbying and vulture capital works and decided it unlikely.
You think venture capital dictates to the politburo what its priorities are in China?
Governments fail to implement incredibly obvious, easy, and proven solutions all the time so yeh they can be pretty dumb. Not to mention historical examples of governments (paricularly the UK when it was a world superpower) investing their entire economies in nigerian prince tier scams.
Governments are people, and people are stupid.
No. I don't think that either Trump's idiots, nor the CCP, know more than I do.
