There are two major challenges they have, I believe.
One of them is population decline.
The other is unemployment.
And the AI that we've seen and what's hitting first could hit them in a major way.
Manufacturing is moving to robotics at an alarming place.
Then you have things like self-driving, which is a major job there for many people.
So...
On those two axes, when you see the youth unemployment, which I think is 15 or 20% in some locations in China, and the population decline, is that Xi's two biggest challenges to deal with?
At the World Economic Forum, I wasn't sure if it was Davos or another one of their forums.
Were you at the Davos one this year?
Yeah, sure.
So as a total aside, just bringing President Trump's impact, it was two and a half days of people wondering what he would say when he got there.
The town shut down as people watched his two-hour stand-up

So there's something really correct.
Sure it does.
