I don't want us to inhabit China...just to beat them at their own game. Musk built the template...with cheap labor...Now they are going to eat his lunch...and are eyeballing everything else...the larger problem with Authorityism is Authority...still a pond...always bigger fish.

Our reliance on outside labor to furnish us with the material things in life... has been our undoing for decades. My old man was the president of a construction labor union and he pushed for higher wages and benefits. Those times were different...life was simpler. Technology and visionaries were yet to come.
The advent of the internet and communications down to nanoseconds puts everything you desire in your face. What's happening on the planet is just the tail on the monster...We have created...and Now We have AI. Where to from here.

In about a billion years... the Earth will be unhabitable due to the Sun. The humanoid population is trying to escalate the timeline. We better have a plan (...because this whole thing with WUXI Biologics and members of Congress is evidence of more knees jerking...Totally unhelpful.
