China is at a weird part of its demographic curve and its economic curve - where a manufacturing base (subsidised by global trade, FX policy and so on) is meeting a declining workforce and robots are literally cheaper than humans (for some parts of urban China. Rural areas still … not great)
I am not sure it’s the future for everywhere, or even china.
But it’s cool
Edit: this applies to some urban areas only not all, or even any rural areas. But still those urban areas in China are de facto countries, larger than many modern countries and pretty much anything in human history.
No, robots are everywhere.
