Having finally visited China, having read and listened to Chinese techies, and having observed their actual systems this past year; I'm completely convinced that there's no stopping China in tech. They'll win at every single vertical, even at superconductors and English LLMs. You don't understand - they are efficiently integrated at every level, software, hardware, logistics, sales - EVERYTHING. If the world decides that robots that can feed your hamster are super important, China can ship a million robots that does this task the best in 2-3 months. It's insane how easily they can adapt thanks to the integrations. I say this as a tech worker in the West: The only tool left in West's toolbox is protectionism and war. Or we need to overhaul our systems to stop corporate & financial greed and refocus on value production. Invisible hand can't compete with intelligent planning.

half serious q: should I make my next website using https://modernjs.dev/en/? I tried before, but ran into a mild block and chose Remix instead. It seems the power of central planning depends on very low-level engineering decisions and tradeoffs, that bleed up into subtle dependencies later

I'm the worst person to ask this haha, I'm not a good web dev (I've recently built my best React website but only thanks to AI's help lol 😅). I've heard good things about Modern.js but never used it, you probably know a lot better than me anyway.

my observation: modernjs appears supremely well optimized to do what bytedance needs it to do. whereas react is super useful for people who have no need to do what facebook does. maybe that's how the West avoids Chinese tech dominance - their greatest solutions are most useful to them and less useful to others, leaving an opportunity in the market?
