yeah im critical of it myself but my opinion is that if xi and the left faction in government are mentioning it by name all the time and doing a big propaganda push for it, both internally and externally, theyre taking special care for it

a big thing to me imo is seeing all the data collection points they have. theres a ton. i assume this is a highly advanced pilot city to test some ideas and then use the data to refine the ideas. they have a ton of pillars and stuff all throughout the city that measure air/water quality, leeching into the environment, traffic volume, even pillars inside train stations and other nexuses in the city to do similar. seems like a big information gathering scheme so they can do it better next time rather than going off of previous data that wasnt as well gathered and ordered
