China is the future though. As scary as that is, it’s still reasonable to invest in Chinese tech, at least if your plan is to make money.

I don’t think westerners in general realize how advanced China is becoming. Being from Europe, visiting China is like stepping into a sci-fI novel. Not a happy one, mind you, but it’s becoming impossible to ignore.

I don't have a lot of examples of successful western companies operating in China, they all seems to be blocked of at some point because of ""regulations"".

Many car manufacturers (incl. Mercedes, BMW) and fashion brands (incl. H&M, Nike)

Just name a few: GM, Apple, Intel, Microsoft, McDonald, Coca Cola, Pizza Hut, Hershey, Nestle, Prada, Coach, Ikea, Starbucks, LinkedIn, Airbnb.

I'm curious what will happen to China's economy after another major economic crisis. Especially if it happens in say 10 years, by then robot manufacturing should be much more advanced and many western companies may opt to quit China and go the robot route.
