How Apple turned China into a technological super power and China keeps going forward technologically.

This documentary that is partially in Dutch but mostly in English is very interesting : It also explains the views of the Trump administration as similar actions like tariffs started to arise in the EU.

Some subjects :
The Xiaomi SU7 ultra is the fastest electrical car.

Robots used in factories are becoming cheap.

Chinese smartphones are rather spectacular.

Fully robotized factories. There is no need for the light to be on in these factories, dark factories.

Overproduction in China, but cannot be sold locally in China, too extreme pricedrops. This is something Xi Jinping does not like. Capitalism and a free market but at its most negative effect : No more profits can be made. Thus expand market over the borders.
Selling in the USA is no longer an option because of the trade wars.
Selling in the EU is starting to become diffcult since the Europian Union (EU) sees economical threats for the EU market arising.

Yeah the whole dark factory thing is wild. As someone who works in a factory (on the engineering side, not directly on the assembly line), we have a lot of automated processes but not fully automated processes. There's still a lot of human touch points for moving workpieces into position, running assembly tools, etc.
