The Race for 5G Supremacy: Why China Is Surging, Where Millennials Struggle, & How America Can Prevail By Paul Schulte

"To get a clear picture of today's winner in the tech space, this book is a must-read. It succinctly clarifies the differences in the current state of affairs in technology, social affairs and economic conditions between China and the US. It brings great case studies that will spark much-needed conversation." <br /><br />—Barbara Thole, Hong Kong, Founder, The Executive Forum "This book crackles with the familiar electricity of unspoken truths about China and its relationship with the US. Its many keen observations and insights surge forward at an irrepressible pace, as if mirroring the rapid change it is describing. It is a prophetic window into the future and a sound handbook for what to do when we get there." <br /><br />—Hu Maomao, Beijing, Partner, Eigen Capital<br /> China is surging in the tech race — and will continue to outperform the United States. The rising power has done exceptionally in Super Apps, bullet trains, 5G, electric vehicles, digital currency, smart cities, blockchain applications, and quantum communications in space, among others. Its payment platforms are increasingly adopted along the entire Silk Road. The genesis of this book was to discover an "Apollo Program" for the US to catch up in these areas, but we discovered a much deeper need for a social/mental health Apollo Program for millennials who are bogged down by a host of under-appreciated and intertwined issues which cause anxiety and alienation and lead to massive losses in workplace productivity. This book proposes two Apollo programs — one for tech and one for millennials — by a millennial. Strategies for cracking the highly competitive Chinese Super App e-commerce market are also revealed. <br /><br />"Paul looks at how technology is shaping our world through two defining lenses. The first is the generational shift in the adoption of technology and the second is the geo-political machinations between China and the US. How this plays out will define the world we live in!" <br />—Rob Jesudason, Hong Kong, CIO, Serendipity Capital
