      I definitely think there’s a qualitative difference here. In the west the smart stuff is made by private companies usually with the goal to collect your data or spy on you in some other way. On the other hand, this is a state driven initiative with focus on creating better infrastructure.

        Which is why I’m optimistic! It’s honestly more the West has ruined the entire concept of smart stuff for the world as opposed to an actual doubt on China’s abilities.
