JEFFREY CARTER: Being Late To The Party Actually Means You Never Got An Invite. “China has cities to nowhere and an underperforming economy right now. It has debt. But if it wins the AI/Robotics/Quantum race, it won’t matter. I don’t think the world understands this, nor does much of it care. In fact, some of them are rooting for China because they worship centralization. . . . The US has always been about opportunity. We don’t wait for the meeting to end and for the decision to be made. You can sit on the porch steps and talk about it, or you can just do it. Your choice. You won’t have that choice if China is in control. They will choose. The party velvet rope will be put up, and while they are getting bottle service courtesy of you, you will be excluded.”
