The obsession is actually in search of new tech markets to dominate. AI race, Ev Race, Solar Panel race, gig-economy race. There’s so much money in each of these. Sometimes early investments pay off like EV industry and sometimes they absolutely do not - gig economy race for example.

This seems like new reality - chase to dominate big general markets and China is absolutely winning everything from EVs and solar panels to literally fishing out every fish out of existence within the next few decades if not less.

This is really bad.
