My initial thought was “would chemists theoretically be less into labor protections than plumbers”?

I guess that puts me in a third bucket.

Super short attention span, just what I look for in a medical professional.

Reminds me of mowing the fields. The mice and snakes would speed out of the long grass in front of the tractor and the farm dogs would be going to town on them.

When you say “Chinese” becomes lingua franca, do you mean Mandarin? Cantonese? Yue? Hakka? Other? If Mandarin, do you mean Jilu? Jiaolio? Other?

I don’t think “Chinese” or any sinitic language ever becomes the global language. Translation is becoming so simple, I would expect any new global initiative can work in 3-4 languages simultaneously.

UN headquarters relocating - I think it would be more likely the UN collapses and is replaced by something else with China leading.

The Chinese movie industry is already huge, we just don’t see much of it in the US.

Lots of Chinese people aren’t into fengshui. That’s kind of a bizarre stereotype for you to pick out of everything mentioned.

The aerospace industry in China has a ways to go before they can be classified in the same tier as Airbus. They are getting better, but still heavily rely on borrowing designs instead of creating their own.

Baidu, HarmonyOS, a computer OS - fine by me to add more options.

What I actually hope is the idea of a single global superpower dies completely. It’s not even the current reality for the US; it’s just propaganda.

I was going to point to this too. I haven’t seen a direct metric, but the data is there if someone wants to pull it out.

Heck, with video cameras going they could even generate an “engagement score” based on how much time a participant’s eyes are on the screen versus elsewhere. They don’t so far as I know, but again the data is there if they wanted to.
