The People's Republic of The Future

When it comes to technology, Shenzhen may well be the most fascinating city in the world. It makes the majority of our electronics. It clones the best technology Silicon Valley has to offer with ease. And, these days, Shenzhen buzzes with new ideas and an unrivaled energy that ensure it will play a major role in shaping our collective futures.
In this episode of Hello World, journalist Ashlee Vance heads to the spectacle that is Shenzhen to experience it firsthand. The results are equal parts inspiring and disconcerting as tech-fueled entrepreneurs try to navigate an authoritarian regime.

Indeed, Shenzhen grew from almost zero population to close to 14 million in 30 years, almost doubling the population of Hong Kong (7.4 million). This is equivalent to growing almost 2 New York City's (8.4 million) in that period of time. In contrast to Silicon Valley where population growth is intentionally limited to preserve the "Valley" to 4.3 million. That level of population growth has never been seen in human history.

If you see a video like this, how can you not think that China will be the new dominant power/player for the next x years? For me it gives me an odd sense of hope, China does what i sometimes dream about, they want to do something.. they do it and then they go a step beyond it bringing the future a step closer. Not saying its easy but once they get going, its like those duracell bunny commercials.

China will definitely be the #1 tech manufacturer for the foreseeable future. Other types of technological innovations will be split among all leading technology centers throughout the world.

The narrator's voice and speaking pace reminds me of Anthony Bourdain's on his TV shows.

Respect to DJI. Amazing products. Really leading the way for China to create and not just copy.

I was born in Beijing and studied in Shanghai, I used to think these 2 cities are the only ones that matter in China, but now more and more friends / classmates of mine from these 2 cities are moving to Shenzhen to work. Quite unfathomable by our old standards but the image of Shenzhen is changing fast.

B Babbich the majority of foreigners in China especially in eastern China hang out only with other foreigners, they don't speak Chinese, nor have Chinese friends other than their local guides, it's hard to learn any characteristic about a society when you don't even embrace it, not everywhere is like Thailand or the Caribbean countries where they depend on western visitors to develop so they have assimilated culture with the west

This city is insanely polluted, they'll all die of cancer by 50. It has no future.
