Not an ideal situation to see totalitarian states like China advancing so rapidly, but we should study why command economies and state capitalism are winning the tech race. Yuval Harari is probably right about Big Data fixing some of communism's deficiencis. All the hype about 'reforms' and privatization notwithstanding, our private sector's pathetic record in R&D won't improve anytime soon.
