Without China, it'd be ingrained in all of us that socialism can never work, and has failed everytime it was tried, probably for centuries/ever. Just another one of these lies. So many conditions had to be reunited for being given one last chance after 1991(, explosive growth that no country ever went through, being "busy" in the Middle-East, a successful chinese strategy towards outside&inside, ...)

It's ironic that our (religious )values point out that a society should be judged by how it treats the poorest/weakest/l(e)ast of us, but we'll be anti-socialist with an "exploit or be exploited" mindset.

Anyway 🤷

One last thing(, that's linked to EVs), have you ever heard of the "three old things" ? I discovered that 'a few months'/'several weeks' ago, and i'm still thinking about it from time to time : https://youtu.be/6E89qUXTX-k?t=2149

(https://files.catbox.moe/b1kfo4.mp4 if the video player doesn't work)

It's not as official as the five year plan, but it's confirmed here or there :

From aspirations to own watches, bicycles and sewing machines (the “older three things”) of the late 1970s, to the color televisions, refrigerators and washing machines (the “old three things”) of the late 1980s, to the stereos, air conditioners and mobile phones (the “new three things”) of the late 1990s, and to the computers, pianos and automobiles (the “newer three things”) of today

As for the next five-year plan(, with brain-computer interfaces) :

I watched that video a little while ago it's great that china is beginning to compete at the highest level of technology and challenging the US's multi decade reign of silicon monopoly.

No, I hadn't really heard much about that. And thanks for the link to the 15th FYP, I haven't investigated it that much yet!
