Thank you. It’s amazing that +1bn people with theoretical access to the world’s resources didn’t spontaneously create 10000 sci-fi books. Similar isolation the other way around. Societies are still so isolated (language, culture, political leanings) despite so much integration.

There's the rub. Access to the world's cultural resources is highly limited in China. They've outright firewalled the internet.
