chance to show off a little bit in front of your wife.
Yeah, what I learned is we're tracking about, I would say from the newspapers, that is Wall Street Journal, New York Times, even the business side,
probably about 10% of the real big picture of what's happening in China.
What we are doing is taking a soda straw view of what's happening, focusing on individual companies.
And I know because when I went, I wanted to visit the companies, BYD, Xiaomi, which is another electric vehicle manufacturer.
It's like the Porsche level.
and also Alibaba, also some laser advanced AI in Wuhan.
And I wanted to go visit the companies because that's what I thought I should do.
I wanted to see, and I did, I visited the companies on the shop floor.
I got a chance to see how the robots actually work for hours, not just for a few minutes.
And I did learn some things there and I'll come back to the detail in just a second.
But by doing this, by going to not just Beijing and Shanghai, which many people will do all the time here, but by going to Wuhan, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, to actually go on the shop floor, spend hours and hours and hours there, then go to dinner with all the executives to really talk about the situation here, also in the Middle East, I learned something really big, Patrick.
which is what China's doing is not just simply uplifting a company.
They are doing that.
They're uplifting whole cities.
So think not about an AI company in Pittsburgh.
think pittsburgh itself is being uplifted so what i saw um was say i'll just pick wuhan because wuhan is a steel an old steel uh city like pittsburgh is uh now it's nine million pittsburgh's about 350 000 so it's it's bigger but what they did in wuhan was they are uplifting all of the um uh medical industry
They are uplifting all of the city's transit infrastructure with AI.
I don't just mean redoing the paving the potholes here.
They are uplifting... When you go to get your driver's license in these cities that I'm in, they have rebuilt the entire buildings where it's not that they just accommodate your cell phone.
