Found this comment on a post about how China is "doing capitalism better then the west, socialism is achieved through capitalism, etc".
I was expecting some weird takes in the thread, but this was beyond parody.
I think they did it for some other jobs too from what I was hearing when I was there last. China has a big workforce of "people standing around" as my friend called it, opening doors and doing a lot of stuff that could definitely be automated. They were telling me those jobs are currently protected from being automated but I'm now wondering if that was a city or province decision or a national one.
