      It‘s likely BS anyway. Maybe it’s just me but reading about another crazy breakthrough from China every single day during this trade war smells fishy. Because I‘ve seen the exact same propaganda strategy during the pandemic when relations between China and the rest of the world weren‘t exactly the best. A lot of those headlines coming from there are just claims about flashy topics with very little substance or second guessing. And the papers releasing the stories aren‘t exactly the most renowned either.

        It’s definitely possible they’re amplifying these developments to maintain confidence in the Chinese market, but I doubt they’re outright lying about the discoveries. I think it’s also likely that some of what they’ve been talking about has been in development for a while and that China is choosing now to make big reveals about them.
