A sense of the PRC’s demographic structure and geographic disparity thus explains why the CCP has publicly called for a technology and manufacturing moonshot even as it deliberately engineered the destruction of over one trillion dollars of software company share value—without, it must be said, impeding in any evident way its continued progress in telecom, chip design, or export manufacturing.
