China’s top priority should be wages, not AI
China’s pressing economic problem is that ordinary people still have too little money in their pockets
I am no technology expert. But as someone who spent 10 years greasing machine parts in a factory, I wonder whether China has got its priorities right. Should winning the AI race be such an overriding national ambition when the country has another pressing economic problem? Namely, ordinary Chinese people still have too little money in their pockets.
