“There is no time in history I’d rather be investing in tech startups in China. It's no longer about the next delivery app but massive challenges in health and related sectors that AI is about to unleash across the country and beyond.”

“You Americans criticize copycats ... They were never copycats, but very innovative enterprises to meet consumer needs on our terms at scale. This is an effective play book you will see in sectors where there are big problems AI can solve.”

Some thoughts: I don't know if it's THAT rosy in China tech (let's just say opinions in my circle are divided). I think it mostly depends on if you're ready for the new meta which is no longer just simple mobile internet. As for AI, that's a global thing, & very exciting yes.

I don't know if "tall poppy syndrome" really explains what's been happening but I know that most people I know interpret it that way on an emotional level. As for China being committed to innovation, that's a given. It's just that everyone has diff ideas on how to go about it.
