Fact-checking :
- For BYD : « BYD has the most R&D personnel among automakers and nearly 110,000 engineers, CEO says »

To be fair, the last part is true, China is run by communists. That’s a good thing, though.
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, …)
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 🤷
Well said!

It’s not as official as the five year plan, but it’s confirmed here or there :
As for the next five-year plan(, with brain-computer interfaces) :
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!
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.
