The human is probably just there like a safety driver while everything gets running smoothly. Another year and they're no longer needed: the truck drives itself, the delivery bot is loaded by a tender bot, and the delivery bot delivers the package. No need to make a video of what is coming, which would make the silly humans emotional.

Definitely seems like a waste of resources to take out a guy past his natural life expectancy. I guess they thought it would be a catalyst for the system to collapse after the recent protests. Low odds of success, but the consequences of failure are also low. So what if there are some posters made of the guy with "martyr" written on them? If war is becoming an exchange of tons of drones and missiles it's better to attack before the enemy builds up its capacity

Sounds more like the US gave them more opportunities to travel the world, buy multiple properties, and retire early. Meanwhile in the socialist utopias the middle class will be priced out by the Americans and rot in drab apartments (while paying for the Americans "right" to healthcare and other services). Kind of the other side of the globalist coin of poor migrants undercutting wages (while leaching off public services)

School competitions are based heavily on memorization. Though I wouldn't underestimate that, people who spend 1000s of hours training for STEM are going to be better at it than people spending 1000s of hours training playing video games and football. China's problem is probably that top-down control can never let the talent run, seeing Jack Ma be disappeared was probably not very inspirational to those Olympiad winners
