Oh, snap! Well, China just hit the gas pedal on the next generation of tech dominance. Starting this fall, every student in Beijing—from elementary school to high school—will be required to take AI education classes. Eight hours a year, minimum. And they’re not just pushing theory. We’re talking hands-on robotics, real-world machine learning, and advanced application courses for older students.

Listen, my peeps—we can argue about global competition, politics, or tech ethics all day. But while we’re stuck debating whether AI is a tool or a threat, China’s building a workforce that’ll be fluent in it by the time they hit college. That’s not strategy. That’s inevitability.

If you’re running a business, a school, or even just raising kids in the West—this should be a wake-up call. We don’t need to copy the move, but we better have an answer to it. Because the next wave of talent? It’s not going to be asking how AI works. It’s going to be building it.
