It's my third decade in CX, and if I've heard 'The Chinese are going to buy CX' once over that period, I've heard it a hundred times.

If you predict something long enough I guess it will happen eventually.

Anotherday, they can be surprisingly pragmatic. Bases, lots of dosh, and tax paid for you. And they might do a better job in 'management' than the current shower.
