The article describes a trend in which many young Chinese are starting "one-person businesses" based on artificial intelligence, as part of the economic struggle against the United States. The Chinese government embraces this trend, but the challenges are great: more than half of these companies earn less than $1,000 per month, and competition is fierce. The article presents examples of entrepreneurs such as Xu Songyan, who founded a sleep tracking app with 1,000 users and 35 paying customers, and Haoyu Liu, who left a development job in New York to start an independent game company. The article quotes Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, who estimated that artificial intelligence will soon lead to the first billion-dollar one-person company. The trend is presented as an existential necessity for young people who have been laid off or are seeking refuge from a oppressive work culture, against the backdrop of high youth unemployment in China.
