If China leapfrogs the West algorithmically, the open/closed publication equilibrium will flip.

If China leapfrogs the West algorithmically, the open/closed publication equilibrium will flip. | If on the other hand the whole balance tips and if for whatever reason China algorithmically leaprogs the west I I do expect the entire equilibrium of Chinese open publications western closed attitude to flip completely and and we may see some equilibration there.
