I would imagine there are countless cases where a mundane task requires human input in assembly, warehousing, … effectively Chinas whole export oriented economy. “Dark factories,” and the like, should only become easier. That’s not how the US orients itself, though.
From what I understand, China is also doing phenomenal on batteries and renewable energy sources. That’s going to make the cost of conducting research on Chinese infrastructure cheaper. Cheaper means more accessible, which accelerates innovation—right? I imagine this effect will become more evident over time.
