It's fascinating to see how AI tech is being applied to transforming healthcare in China. It's now used at over a 100 hospitals for pathology, radiology, and diagnostics, easing medical staff workload. This technology is helping address workforce shortages and ensures up-to-date practices in China, while it's used to make inane chat bots in the west.
China's launching a Green Marshall Plan!
They're set to dominate the green energy sector by opening export markets, boosting the Reminbi, and becoming a major lender. China's growing its global influence by providing the capital, tech, and know-how for clean power in developing nations.
The US and the eurozone are expected to experience weaker growth, while China is projected to maintain healthy growth.
For the second report in succession, the OECD has lowered its growth expectations for both France and Germany -- down to 0.8 and 0.4 percent respectively. Britain's forecast is also down to just 1.4 percent.

@kkarhan@infosec.space@Rusty @dragonarchitect I disagree re: webOS and FirefoxOS.
#webOS failed due to lack of market penetration (there was only like 1 Tablet from #hp) and #FirefoxOS failed because @mozillaofficial didn't even offer to sell devices to folks like me and @fuchsiii that wanted one.
- The only devices with #Firefox OS in the #EU were a few #NetLock'd #prepaid phones that got sold in Spain (reqiring ID for no valid reason!) and which were essentially useless for anyone outside of Spain.
Add to that the absurdity that #Mozilla basically expected carriers (!!) to maintain and provide the #AppStore|s themselves and you get market fracturing worse than the "P.R." #China (!!!)…
It was mismanaged and self-sabotaged in the worst possible way.
- Similar to how #OLPC never sold the #XO1 in retail and didn't even offer the "Give one, Get one" deal in most places...
The #Duopoly of #Android & #iOS wasn't unavoidable, but an outcome of #SelfSabotage and halfassed non-commitment by competitors!
