China is living in 2100.

That’s what everyone says when they get back from their first trip to China.

After returning from my first China trip, I can see what they’re getting at.

China’s trains are faster, its buildings newer, and its EV industry bigger than anyone else’s.

In almost every tech sub-sector, China is already #1 or #2. This “top 2 positioning” is a key part of what made CEO Jack Welch decide whether an industry was worth investing in. China passes that test, not in one industry, but in hundreds!

But after exploring Shenzhen, I found 2,100 too far into the future to accurately describe China’s current reality. It’s not that China’s not living in the future, it’s that 2,100 is too ambitious a claim.

It’s more accurate to say that China is living in 2,036.

This estimate accounts for China being ahead of most other countries, while also reflecting the limits imposed by current reality.

First, let’s look at why China is living in the future.

China is ahead of most countries technologically. It is ahead of everyone else in high speed rail, solar panels, nuclear energy, batteries and EVs. In AI, China is behind only the United States. In semiconductors, it’s behind only a few Asian countries. This positioning in the world’s most important high tech sectors places China squarely in the “futuristic” category.

Also, China is the world’s undisputed manufacturing powerhouse. In all industries combined, high tech and not, China produces 30% of the world’s manufacturing output. That’s impressive.

Finally, there’s the on-the-ground reality in cities like Shenzhen—which I saw first hand. The streets are clean, the buildings and roads are new, the trains run on time—usually arriving the very second they’re scheduled to!

The technological and civic progress in China is real and impressive. It puts the country decades ahead of the rest of the world.

But there are real limits to China’s progress that put it a little closer to today than 2,100.

First, China’s internet ecosystem is optimized for the local market. It isn’t built in such a way that would lead to the global dominance the U.S. now enjoys. For example, apart from TikTok and Temu, most Chinese-made apps have information-dense interfaces that come across “cluttered” to global users. This isn’t a bad thing—the Chinese perceive info-density as value—but it does limit China’s internet giants on the global stage.

Second, China’s high tech advances are not unavailable to other countries—they’re just less widely disseminated. Other countries have AI, humanoid robots, EVs and high speed rail—they just have less of these things than China does. The median American has less access to the full buffet of cutting edge technologies than the median urban Chinese does, not because China is the only country with the buffet, but because the buffet is so expensive in the U.S.

What makes China futuristic is the wide dissemination of advanced technologies to all segments of society, from rich to poor. This is definitely futuristic, and a call to all nations to do better in giving everyone a chance to get ahead. But it’s not centuries ahead of everyone else. With enough effort, other countries could have access to all the best tech in a decade or two.

@MEXC_CST @MEXC_Official @MEXCwatcher @MEXCRussian @MEXC_Japan @MEXC_Korea Could you explain how blocking me from withdrawing my own funds is meant to help or protect me? Would it not be possible to restrict the account while still allowing withdrawals?

[Kath @Katwesly]

@MEXC_Official The latest guidelines remain the same, nothing has changed. Funds are still frozen for 365 days. 😭

[Kath @Katwesly]

@cecilia_hsueh Could you please help unblock my account? I have not done anything wrong. Please also help me withdraw my funds, I will no longer use MEXC.

@cecilia_hsueh So the latest guidelines remain the same, nothing has changed. Funds are still frozen for 365 days 😭😭

[Kath @Katwesly]

@cecilia_hsueh I received a 365-day risk control. It doesn’t seem fair that all funds are frozen for a full year with no ability to withdraw.
