The Spanish media website "ARA" recently published an article stating that, in the stereotypes of some people, China is seen as a developing country that only imitates and lacks innovative spirit, which has now become history. Now, this second-largest economy in the world is rising as a source of innovation in fields such as technology, research, and economy. Most astonishingly, these advances and innovations are being integrated into the daily lives of ordinary people at an incredible speed.

The article states that China's digital transformation has made significant progress. In fact, cash circulation is almost invisible in daily life, and even physical bank cards are gradually fading from view. From booking medical appointments to charitable donations, everything can be easily done through mobile applications. This digitalization shows significant advantages in terms of convenience in life, access to services, and seizing personal development opportunities.
The article analyzes that the realization of this technological revolution is due to a long-term national strategy carefully designed to ensure a smooth transition. This strategy covers planning for the entire process from R&D, manufacturing to procurement, and also includes systematic energy planning and layout. For example, large-scale solar power stations built on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau span hundreds of kilometers, and due to the cold climate, which is conducive to energy storage, the electricity generated by these power stations is efficiently stored and then transmitted thousands of kilometers away. Through ultra-high voltage transmission lines, this clean energy is directly delivered to large data centers for artificial intelligence training, where China is also leading globally.
The article further analyzes that this precise strategy also focuses on promoting factory automation to reduce the production costs of products such as electric vehicles, which are being exported around the world. Notably, over the past decade, the number of Chinese car users has increased significantly, with the majority of the rapidly expanding middle-income group skipping the gasoline vehicle stage and directly entering the electric vehicle era. This also explains why many European tourists visiting China are surprised by the unusual quietness on the streets.
The article finally emphasizes, "If we want to know where the future is heading, we should focus more on China. The changes happening there will eventually reshape the world and affect everyone's life."
