And I do wonder whether there is some political reason for this that none of us know about, whether there's some power struggle at the top of the Communist Party

with some people pro, some people anti, and nobody finally making a decision.

But as I say, that is just speculation.

I have no evidence on this.

Well, just going back to dim sum briefly before we get back onto that one.

You know, Alice, I went to a couple of cooking schools in China to learn how to make dim sum.

And I must admit that nothing I made came out looking remotely like what you would get in a restaurant.

One of my teachers memorably said that I was no good at making dim sum, but I was good at making didn't sum.

So I...

But I know that you as a former contestant on the TV show MasterChef, you probably make a very mean dim sum.

Am I right?

Wow, it's amazing you know that off the top of your head.

Yeah, but anyway, back to AI and AI taking people's jobs.

I mean, obviously it's broader than AI.

I think it's amazing that a robot is now dexterous enough to make dim sum.

That's basically my point.

I mean, it is hard to make dim sum.

It really is hard for a human being like me, maybe a clumsy one like me.

So a robot can now do this.

We've got AI, which obviously has a cognitive ability, which is now superior to human beings in many different planes.
