Summary
How much could concepts such as high school education and high-tech development overlap? Terri says a lot. Hear in this week’s episode, along with producer Daniel, how China’s education system builds people who are very specifically trained for certain tasks—and trained away from other tasks. The specific innovations—and the shocks from China’s AI industry—appear to follow a certain pattern, something that is ingrained in the populace from a very young age.
