I think this. China is still in the optimist mode - life is still getting better, tech is here to improve daily life. In the US, everyone is skeptical of everything. Trust is low.
Yeah there's definitely something to this. Do you think it's mainly a trust issue? Is it also hard to imagine potential benefits in areas like Health/Education vs quite easy to imagine risks such as jobs displacement? Do you think people would be more focussed on potential benefits if the trust was there?
