How China is making LED screens a billon dollars business

Hyper-realistic 3D ads have been stunning passersby on busy streets in China recently. The creative campaigns blur the lines between technology and reality while showcasing that creativity in advertising really is limitless.
But Chinese really know how to take everything to the next level, Splendid light shows illuminate the sky in cities like Shanghai, Chongqing, Wuhan, Shenzhen and Qingdao to celebrate special dates in the country. Ever since the spectacular light show in 2008 to open the Beijing summer Olympics, Chinese cities have been generating a craze for staging large-scale light extravaganzas.

Good to learn more about China from these reports. China is a forward-looking country. Chinese high school seniors just finished the gruelling matriculation exams. Doubtless youths immersed in China's rapid progress will have a very different outlook than their counterparts in "the west", who are still trying to recover from 3 years of the traumatic pandemic, troublesome politics like the Trump indictment, drug problems and gun violence, and the impact of the Ukraine war. Interesting and challenging time.

When the last US TV manufacturer, Admiral, folded around the 1990s the company said "there's no money to be made in TV". The Chinese picked up bits and pieces and innovated and now their TVs are on par with Japanese and Korean TVs at 1/3 the cost. IBM sold their PC business to China in the late 1990s and the CEO Getsner said exactly the same thing, "There's no money to be made (in the PC business)." Now, Lenovo, is either the 1st or 2nd biggest PC maker in the world. Sure, there's no money to be made in anything, unless you innovate and add new features to it. Giant billboard LED displays are a new thing and the Chinese are going big in that such that there's hardly any competitors.

Nowadays China streets are much cleaner and safer than US streets. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqebp3mJbNeLpsU ​Not only street cleanness and safety, China has overtaken US in many other areas. Take life expectancy of both China and US as example. In 1950 China life expectancy is about 38 vs US 68. After 71 years, in 2021 China life expectancy is 78.2 vs US 76.1( latest figure by CDC , US life expectancy dropped by 3 in 2020-2021 period from 79.1 originally). China expectancy increase by 40 years while US increase by 8 years only. China life expectancy increase 5 time faster than US. Also Look at health care by comparing MMA rate( maternal mortality rate): in 1950 China maternal mortality is 1500 women death per 100,000 birth vs US 100 women death per 100,000 births. In 2021, China MMA is 16.1 vs US 23.8 per 100,000 (the lower the number , the better health care service level) . Infant mortality rate: in 1950 China infant mortality is 195 death per 1000 birth vs US 26.8 death per 1000 births. In 2021, China infant mortality rate drop to 5 per 1000 vs US 5.4 per 1000 birth. In fact among top 10 population countries, China’s life expectancy is longest 78.2 years old vs US 76.1 and India 70, Indonesia 71.7, Pakistan 67.3, Brazil 75.9, Nigeria 54.7, Bangladesh 72.6, Russia 73.1, Mexico 75. And people in China retire at 55 years old on average to access pension. About 12 years earlier than US's 67 years requirement while some countries may not have pension at all. It means an American need work extra 40*52*12=25,000 hrs in his life than an average person in China. It also means an American only has 9 years to enjoy retirement while an average person in China has 22 years to enjoy retirement. Also it is not means or asset tested when access pension in China. It means you get your pension monthly even you stay overseas, are a multi-millionaire or have another job after retirement.
