In this excerpt from a Solari Report interview with Alastair Crooke, Catherine Austin Fitts contrasts Western AI—engineered primarily for surveillance, programmable money, financial repression, and population control amid fiscal imbalances—with China's practical, factory-floor approach focused on boosting manufacturing productivity and competitiveness through cheaper energy and infrastructure. Crooke highlights how U.S. AI, rooted in military intent-imputation tech, risks crashing under unsustainable costs, while China's model prioritizes real economic output over repressive control.
This video showcases 10 Chinese megacities (Tianjin, Suzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing, Chongqing, and Shanghai) that surpass New York in futuristic infrastructure, automation, and smart systems. Highlights include AI-managed traffic and "City Brain" in Hangzhou, massive high-speed metro expansions, fully automated ports and cashless/electric transport in Shenzhen, energy-sharing smart grids, digital twin urban planning, maglev trains hitting 268 mph in Shanghai, and vertical integration like metros running through buildings in Chongqing. It contrasts these rapid, tech-driven advancements with New York's slower, older systems to argue that China's cities are already operating in a future New York won't reach for decades.
