Artificial intelligence is starring An economic revolution unprecedented that is generating one of the greatest jumps In wealth creation In recent history, something that Such and as stood out Bloomberg, The exponential growth of this developing sector has resulted in the accelerated appearance of New billionaires. Most of them are young entrepreneurs who have seen His fortunes multiply Thanks to the assessment of their AI companies for risk capital investors. A magnet for investments Andrew Mcafee, MIT principal researcher, pointed to CNBC that this generation of wealth “is not preceded” in the last 100 years of which there are records. In Xataka Jensen Huang presumes more than chips for AI: he has created more billionaires than any other CEO According to data of CB InsightsThere are 498 companies dedicated to AI with valuations above 1,000 million dollars and more than 1,300 startups valued at more than 100 million dollars. Estimates From the study they set that, together, these companies have a value of 2.7 billion dollars. The most curious thing is that, at least 100 of those unicorns of more than 100 million dollars were founded after 2023, which makes the phenomenon even more striking for its effervescence. This AI boom has become An economic engine which already exceeds the investments generated by other technological revolutions such as Internet, electronic commerce or social networks, whose companies are also betting strongly on AI. However, unlike what happened with the Puntocom at the beginning of 2000. Companies that are providing huge fortunes to their founders are not public contributions, but are maintained as main source of wealth for Its founders and managers for maintaining greater control over your participation percentage. In Xataka In silence, the engineers specialized in AI are becoming the best paid workers in history THE NEW MAIN VETA TO MAKE MILLIONARY In the last decade, social networks or the different electronic commerce formulas marked the pattern as the main ways of creating millionaire fortunes. They abound The examples In the current list of millionaires with names such as Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg. However, now it is the AI ​​who is rapidly replacing these sectors as the fastest source for generating a substantial fortune. According The published By Bloomberg, the development of AI has led to the raising of at least 15 Milmillonarios entrepreneurs, with a combined heritage of 38,000 million dollars. Companies such as Anthropic, Openai, Safe Superintelligence or Anysphere have starred in millionaire financing that have led their founders to reach fortunes of more than 1,000 million dollars in a very short time. A remarkable example is Anthropic, which negotiates an investment round that could place its valuation at 170,000 million dollars, almost tripling its value in a few months. Openai, has become the startup with greater assessment reaching 500,000 million dollars in its last investment round. The previous one stayed at 300,000 million, which leaves an idea of ​​the speed of Growth of these companiesand with them, the fortunes of its founders. {“videoid”: “x8jpy2b”, “Autoplay”: fals, “title”: “What is behind it like chatgpt, dall-e or midjourney? | artificial intelligence”, “tag”: “Webedia-prod”, “Duration”: “1173”} Alexandr Wangco -founder and exco from the startup Scale AI, he became at 28 years the youngest billionaire in history, with an estimated fortune at approximately 3.6 billion dollars.

It was hired by Spacex at age 14. Now, with 16, the young genius has turned his back on Elon Musk to go to Wall Street

by

His history turned the world. Kairan Quazi graduated at the University of Santa Clara with 14 years. Almost immediately, He was signed as Spacex software engineer. Now, the young prodigy has abandoned Elon Musk’s space company to work in finance. The youngest employee of Spacex. He was not a fellow they sent for cafes. For two years, Kairan was one of Starlink engineers, the Spacex satellite Internet network. His work was critical: he designed the software that determines where the satellites point their beams to offer a stable connection. “I had a very broad field of work and a lot of responsibility, especially for a junior engineer,” Count the boy to Business Insider. Spacex expected him to lead projects from beginning to end: develop ideas, present them to other engineers and address, implement them and supervise the deployments. With 16 years, I needed a change. After two years at the aerospace avant -garde, Kairan Quazi felt prepared to “assume new challenges and expand their skills” in a different high performance environment. The young prodigy received offers from the most leading artificial intelligence laboratories, but it was a proposal of Citadel Securities, a trading giant, which finally convinced him to leave Spacex. Now work as quant unaveloper developing financial models. Quants, the elite of programming. The decision to change rockets for financial algorithms is not accidental. For the best mathematicians and software engineers, only artificial intelligence competes in attractiveness with the world of finance specialized in quantitative analysis. With millionaire wages, the Quants sector combines the complexity and intellectual challenge of other sectors with a much faster rhythm, measurable in days, not in months as in many research environments. In algorithmic trading, an idea is tested, implemented and gives results (for better or worse) in a matter of hours. For the rest, a teenager. Kairan valued that Citadel Securities did not take into account his age or his years of experience when offering opportunities. But sometimes he has to remember that he is a teenager. During his stage in Spacex, his mother had to take him to work every day because, with 14 years, he had no driving license. The episode in which LinkedIn erased the account for not having fulfilled the minimum age of 16. From Silicon Valley to Wall Street. Kairan was born in the San Francisco Bay area and He began his university studies with nine years. After his early entry into the working world, he now moves to Manhattan, where he will live 10 minutes walk from the office. This Bangladesí-American, fond of reading, video games, escalation and piano, lands in a city that already knows for its family roots in Queens. Wall Street will mark a new chapter for a young man who seems to have no limits. Image | Scu In Xataka | What Spacex has achieved with Starship is incredible.

Work no longer prevents 30% of young people from being at risk of poverty and we have found the reason: housing

by

The existing gap between the cost of life and salaries in Spain calls into question that having a job (even when it is stable) is already a subsistence guarantee without falling at risk of poverty. According to him last report From the Emancipation Observatory of the Youth Council of Spain, around 30% of young people in Spain live at risk of poverty or social exclusion, even having a job. Work no longer guarantees to avoid poverty. Having a job has ceased to be synonym for security for children under 30 years. According to data from the Emancipation Observatory report, 18.8% of the young people working are at risk of poverty. This figure almost doubles the 2009 data and confirms the wear of the labor market as a protective shield. The report indicates that for Those who have no job The reality is even more severe: more than 52.1% of unemployed young people live under the threshold of poverty, twice the average of the total population. The salary goes up and lowers youth strike. The figures released by the report reveal that, although the Medium salary Juvenile rose 11.4% in 2024 reaching 14,046 euros per year, a good part of young people cannot guarantee sufficient quality of life With that salary. 53.6% of young people between 16 and 29 do not have their own income, and in 14.9% of young households none of its members have a job. The Observatory recognizes that youth unemployment figures have improved by lowering to 19.1%, their lowest value since 2007. However, it remains at a high 24.9% unemployment between children under 25 and 35.5% among those who combine work with the studies. In addition, 36.2% of occupied youth It is overwhelmed for employment What does it perform. The inequality of women and young people with less studies. Women and young people with fewer studies are the most exposed to the threshold of poverty even having a stable job. The risk of poverty affects 31.1% of young women compared to 28.9% among men, and the gap is extended when the educational level decreases. In addition, according to The published by Infobaeyoung men earn 1,929 euros more a year than their companions, a significant salary distance that equals more than one monthly payment. The vault key: housing. In the epicenter of this economic precariousness is the one who, According to the January 2025 barometer Prepared by the CIS, it is the main concern of the Spaniards: the exorbitant prices of housing. The difficulties for access a home own have aggravated the situation and Emancipation rate of young people(Data that represents the number of young people who can leave the family home to start their vital project) in Spain was just 14.8% during the first half of 2024, the lowest level recorded since you have registration. A wall for emancipation. Access to your own home has become Mission almost impossible For the young. As published in the report, The base rental It is around 1,080 euros per month, which means that a young person must dedicate 92.3% of their salary to housing if they want to live alone. The purchase option is not much more optimistic. The Observatory estimates the average sale price of housing in about 197,210 euros, which is equivalent to 14 years of a current average youth salary. Only the entrance for housing (estimated at 59,163 euros) is already about four years of salary, making youth emancipation more complicated. Given this real estate context, 57.9% of young people who manage to emancipate rent. Of these, almost a third share a flat to be able to assume the expenses. However, this is not an affordable alternative either. The average price of a room in shared floor It amounts to 375 euros per month, equivalent to 35.8% of the monthly net salary of a young man. These percentages exceed the spending threshold for the internationally recommended housing, set at 30%.

How the Latin Party of the 15 years is peering among the young people from Madrid

by

In the Community of Madrid they live more than one million From Latin Americans, people born in Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela Peru or Uruguay (the complete countries around twenty) who work in businesses in the region, go to the same parks as the native population and have children who study in the same schools. That is why it is not strange that customs and traditions be infected. And that something like ’15 -year party’a celebration that until not so much celebrated only Latinas, start to turn on Madrid’s homes. Nothing that did not happen before with other traditions. Quinceañera To the Spanish. That in Spain parties of the 15 years are celebrated is no novelty. As the Latin population increased in our country, customs, traditions and products that until not so much was difficult to see on this side of the Atlantic were also extended. The quinceañera party It is a good example. The also known as ’15 -year -old party’ or quino is a celebration with which families mark the transit of childhood to maturity. And what are they? The staging can vary from one celebration to another or between regions, but there are some elements that are often repeated: Dresses Princess Styles (even with Cancán and Tiaras), bright colors, friends, chamblanes, cakes, dances … Everything, of course, focused on the great protagonist, the young woman who celebrates her 15 years and, with them, the transition from girl to adult woman. In the quinceañera celebrations it is common for this step to symbolize in different ways. In some countries, parents change the young woman’s footwear, replacing shoes with heel shoes, or the protagonist delivers her last doll to stage that leaves the childhood behind. Although There are those who go back The roots of the celebration of pre -Columbian cultures are not strange that the holidays include Christian action masses and sermons of priests. Expanding phenomenon. You may not know its details or history, but surely the concept sounds like you and you have seen photos of Quinceañeras In networks. Normal. A Fast search In Google shows news of 2017 or even 2014 in which there was already talk of how the holidays were spreading in Spain. At that time the norm was that behind those celebrations there would always be a young woman of Latin American roots. Today it is no longer so. A few days ago The country public A report in which he reveals that they are already organizing ceremonies for Madrid girls, Spanish families and without cultural ties with Latin America. “From 30 events, 10”. The phenomenon is better understood with the help of María Carolina Triviño, director of We will be Latina company based in Madrid that has specialized in this kind of ceremonies. While works above all with families from Honduras and Paraguay, it is no longer uncommon for their door to call Spaniards who want their daughters to celebrate the Quinceañera. “From more than 30 events, 10 have been for Spanish. And they always start the same: they came to a 15 -year party as guests of their Latin friends and encapricated,” Comment Triviño The influence comes through both friends and networks. In Tiktok they can be found A good handful Of videos about 15 -year parties, material in which as triviño acknowledges, girls are inspired to choose costumes and cuts. The country He has also spoken with Ana Rodríguez, a 50 -year -old from Madrid, to whom one day his daughter told him that he wanted to celebrate “his 15”. She had never heard of the party. His daughter yes, through her groups of friends and Tiktok. “It’s like Halloween or Pope Noél”. The ceremonies “of the 15” among young Spaniards may be new. Its context, no. Input because it is not the first celebration or foreign tradition that rootes in Spain. Before other parties have already done it through cinema or by simple imitation. “It’s like Halloween or Santa Claus, they don’t ask where it comes from, they just want to celebrate it because they see it around them,” Rodríguez comments. She herself confirms that in her environment, in Pozuelo, there are more Spanish who want to celebrate their own parties. “They don’t understand”. “Spanish parents don’t understand anything, but their daughters are clear: they want 15 photos, like their Latin friends. The other day a father told me: ‘This is going to be like Halloween. Before no one celebrated it and now everyone does it’”, agrees Sergio Saavedra, founder of a company dedicated to rent dresses for quinceañeras. Photos and costumes are two pillars of the party. “Latin girls do not want to give up their own and the Spanish do not want to stay out,” Point out Another entrepreneur who has seen a business opportunity. Not so strange. Another explanation that quinceañeras ceremonies They are rooting in Spanish homes is that the concept, in reality, is not so alien to us. Decades ago in Madrid, ‘parties of the 15’ were not seen, but they were held long when the young women fulfilled the age of majority. Between each other there are differences, but also similarities: celebrations centered on young people, dresses, social acts and a ceremony that in the end seek to highlight the passage of childhood to maturity. Today they continue to be held, although they are usually associated with certain social extracts. It is culture, and it is demography. If there is something that explains the pull of the Quinceañeras It is nevertheless demography. In Spain, many more Latin Americans reside today than a few decades, so it is normal for society to soak up its traditions. On January 1, 2024, the INE counted in the Madrid region just over one million people born in Latin American countries, which means that one in seven Inhabitants was born in Latin American countries. The data multiplies by which it was recorded at the end of the 20th century, when it did not even reach 100,000. And it is … Read more

In Japan, a young man has devised the best way to leave at his time and not make extra hours: found his own religion

by

Work overload is one of Japan’s most serious problems, taking employees to collapse due to exhaustion. Despite the numerous measures that have been launched To protect workers, thousands of people are pressed to extend your workday Without compensation. In many cases, these eternal days generate physical and mental consequences They can be fatal. A Japanese young man has found an unexpected and legally protected form of getting rid of the so feared extra hours: founding his own religion. One that prohibits working beyond their working hours. The only commandment of Hista: You will go out at your time. In 2018, Motohiro Histano, tired of the workload and culture that surrounded him, decided to found a new religion he called Motohiro to Peoplealso known as MTOP. This was not going to be a religion like any other: it does not promise eternal life or demand penance for its faithful. Only offers a clear commandment: to refuse to work hours, arguing “religious reasons” not to do so, Point out on the webof the cult. He said In several statementshis main objective was to offer a valid (and legally respected) excuse to get out of work at his time. “The ‘religious reasons’ are the most powerful reasons in the world of reasons. I do not do miracles or have super powers. I only grant the power of the ‘religious reasons’ to those who follow me,” said Hista in Your message Foundational THE SACRED BOOK OF HISAN. If Judaism has the Torah, Islam the Qur’ Japan Labor Standards Law. The Japanese labor legislation provides strong protection against discrimination For reasons of sex, race or religion to its workers, so it is expressly forbidden to impose rules or retaliate against them for these reasons. That diligence in the protection of religious feelings was the one that gave the idea to Hista to found his church. If a religion dictates that “Nége to work overtime overtime, because it is bad to spend your time on things you do not want to do”, as faithful, the employee must follow those precepts. So the company will have no choice but to accept it, or assume a demand for religious discrimination. Pray to x. To make this religion the only thing that is needed is to follow An X account and join the followers of “Free Lance God“(The God free of responsibilities). As reads in his bio, religion has as many faithful as followers marks the accountant. At the moment, 17,100 faithful to the God that allows you to leave work at your time. Hista’s religion is laughing, reality does not. As with others Parodic religions like that of pastefarism, or the insumiso pussy, Motohiro to People adopts humor as a tool for denounce work injustices present in the daily life of Japanese society in the form of satire and social criticism. The work overload and eternal working hours have plunged Japan into a Demographic winter with Birth for soils and an aged labor market. Authorities and companies are promoting labor conciliation measures oriented not only to improve birth rate allowing families to compatible working life With the care of childrenin addition to Improve productivity promoting him employee welfare. Hista’s religion is a complaint to all this culture of toxic work that prevents people from having a life beyond work. In Xataka | In Japan there are parents named “Pikachu” to their children.

The strange buzzing that you can only listen to at an age. The frequency that Japan, the US and Europe uses against young people

by

In 2009 IHe listened to listen for the first time in the streets of Tokyo. For years, the Kitikahama Parkin the district of Adachi, he had been recurring white of acts of vandalism, especially in public facilities such as bathrooms and urban furniture. Damage, mainly attributed to groups of adolescents who frequent the area at night, had meant a significant cost for local authorities. And since then, a Imperceptible noise For much of the population has been recurring. A sound that has its origin in Europe. The mosquito. Years before, in 2005, the New York Times spoke of the arrival of an invention to the United Kingdom. What began as a child auditory discomfort was transformed years later into an unusual solution for a persistent urban problem. Howard Stapletona British engineer, he remembered how, at age 12, upon entering a factory with his father, he was forced to go out immediately by an unbearable sound that adults did not even perceive. Decades later, that experience led him to create The mosquitoa device that emits a high frequency buzz perceptible only by young ears (mainly around twenty) and practically inaudible for those who have passed thirty. Its purpose was as direct as controversial: drill teenagers that congregate in noisy in front of stores, generating discomfort, intimidations and even episodes of theft and violence, without the need for direct confrontation. Personal idea to experiment. The first real mosquito test took place in Barry in 2005, a town in southern Wales, in front of a spar grocery storemanaged by Robert Gough and his family. Before the installation, the place suffered daily La presence of adolescents They smoked, drank, insulted customers and broke into the establishment. Gough had considered resorting to classical music to large volume, but never implemented it. It was Stapleton who offered to install the device testing. In a matter of little time, the usual congregation of adolescents disappeared. Some tried to resist, entering the store with their fingers in their ears and asking to turn off the buzz. Gough, ingenious, told them that the device was to scare birds due to avian flu. The result was a Radical transformation: Before conflicting teenagers now entered, bought, and they went without causing problems. Mosquito installation in a Philadelphia store It hurts, but it doesn’t exhaust. We talk about a device that emits a kind of chirp pulsating by Above 17 kilohertzup to 75/80 decibels, comparable to a noise of tinnitusIt is not painful, but very irritating. Stapleton said he tested different frequencies with the help of his own children to formula That “I did not harm, but it would bother enough to want to leave.” His intention was never punishing, but Simply dissuadecausing an discomfort that pushes the adolescent to retire on its own. While some adults can still perceive the sound, the device is designed thinking about behavior patterns rather than strict age ranges: hardly a 30 -year -old person is around the entrance of a store for hours. Professor Andrew King, an expert in neurophysiology at Oxford University, I recognized years ago To the Times that although the hearing of high frequencies decreases with age, that loss is gradual and, therefore, some adults could also hear it. Stapleton will consider it irrelevant: “The mosquito is not for them.” Cross borders. After its appearance, the mosquito It generated great interest. Stores, railway deposits, shopping centers and British local authorities They requested units. Stapleton, at that time, already contemplated more powerful versions Activable by panic button, designed to repel crowds that enter into mass to steal, which in the United Kingdom is known as Steaming. Its logic It was simple: “It is difficult to steal with the fingers in the ears.” From Europe and the US to Japan. Four years after the invention was established in different cities from the United Kingdom, then Europe, and finally the United Statesthe mosquito made the leap to Japan. Given the numerous acts of vandalism, the district of Adachi decided to resort to the controversial technological solution, but growing in popularity. Pilot test In Japan, some shops and They had implemented Previously after receiving complaints about garbage, noise and concentration of youth groups, but 2009 was the first time it was installed in A public park. The Adachi administration, which had hired the device to the Melc Co LTD company, based in Chiyoda, installed it in the area as part of an essay that would last until March 2010. Background: Vandalism costs in the 470 parks and public areas of Adachi in the previous years had overcome the 3 million yenso any solution that could reduce non -invasive figures represented an attractive option. According to Melc representatives, the objective It was clear: generate an environment uncomfortable for offenders without altering the tranquility of the rest of citizens or provoking neighborhood complaints. And in the trains. Although today the number of facilities of this type is unknown in Japan, in the social networks They abound videos and comments of young people alluding To this type of sounds. Bloomberg had that even a version of the mosquito has also been installed in trains stations. In many of them ultrasonic devices had been placed that emitted a high frequency sound only noticeable for children under 25 years. The devices, designed to discourage merodeus without confrontations, caused obvious reactions In students: discomfort faces, accelerated steps and complaints, without most knew where the sound comes from. Meanwhile, older adults walk imperturbable, unable to hear the signal. The technology, originally from Wales, had found in Japan its most systematic and culturally accepted use. Between defense and stigma. Counted in a long NPR interview to Stapleton that the mosquito has generated a debate about the Technological intervention limits in public space. While some celebrate their ability to restore tranquility in commercial and school areas without violence or clashes, others consider that their indiscriminate use It can be equivalent to criminalizing the default youth. Stapleton responded That the true enemy is not adolescence, … Read more

What we know about the risks of suffering a stroke being young

by

Over the years our health worsens and that is why it is not surprising that there are diseases and ailments that we associate with age, such as Alzheimer’s or some types of cancer. However, young people are not immune to these diseases and when these call the consequences can be devastating. An increasing problem. Age is One of the key risk factors In the appearance of stroke or stroke (stroke), but that does not mean that young people are immune to this type of event. According to the European ICTUS organization (that for its acronym in English), the prevalence of ischemic stroke (the most frequent type of stroke) in adults between 18 and 50 years is approximately 10 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and year. More worrying perhaps is the fact that this prevalence has been growing, at least in high -income countries between the 1980s and the present. Also worrying the fact that we do not know exactly the reason. The stroke. The strokes occur when interrupts or reduces drastically The blood flow that reaches a part of the brain. There are two types of stroke depending on the origin of this interruption, ischemic (the most frequent), or hemorrhagic (less prevalent). The ischemic stroke occurs when one of the circulatory routes of the brain is blocked, by a clot or by a narrowing of this route. The hemorrhagic instead is caused by the breakage of the blood vessel and can therefore be even more harmful than the ischemic. Risk factors. The risk factors in the appearance of the ICUTS have been extensively studied, but the information we have regarding cases in which this ailment is unleashed early is more limited. A study Posted in 2018 in the magazine Journal of the American Heart Association He studied these factors and found 11 that showed statistical correlation. These risk factors included atrial fibrillation, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes types 1 and 2, LHD clollesterol, hypertension, and family history of stroke. The study also found a negative correlation between LDL cholesterol and the risk of suffering from an early stroke. Other studies have also found risk factors in the consumption of tobacco, obesity or metabolic syndrome although only the first of these three factors did it with consistency According to that. The weight of genetics. Genetics is an important factor in the appearance of stroke. Another study Posted in 2022 in the magazine Neurologyobserved some genetic trends among patients with early stroke. The team found a relationship between the genes that determine the blood group and this risk. The existence of stroke cases in family history is generally considered a risk factor, but it is more when these cases occur at an early age. That is, the cases of stroke in young people are, in themselves, a risk factor. When the stroke comes soon. Experts used to think that the arrival of an ICTUS at an early age raised a smaller problem than its arrival at a late age since the response capacity was better. However, long -term studies They have questioned that idea: People suffering from an early ichtus show an increase in long -term mortality among those who suffer from this type of events before the age of 60.

More and more young people speak Mandarin and venerate to China

by

Sometimes, two apparently opposite worlds are irremediably attracted. Last year, commercial tensions between Beijing and the EU opened a new scenario for the Russian farmers and “your” pig. Shortly after, the Hype was in crescendo with the proliferation of Russian product stores In cities throughout China. And now, as communicating vessels, the Russians are folding the “Made in China” as their parents did in 1991 With the United States. They are even talking in Mandarin. China as a lighthouse. I told it The New York Times. In the Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, where Western sanctions They have broken decades of economic and cultural ties, China has begun to occupy the symbolic and material space that previously belonged to the Anglo -Saxon and European world. As? From thematic parks with traditional Chinese architecture, to university classrooms from Moscow where to learn Mandarin (I know They have returned), or in the decoration of the city to celebrate the New Year Lunar and in the Metro wagons decorated with proverbs XI Jinping, Chinese culture It has broken In Russian daily life with an intensity that, until recently, would have seemed unimaginable. A mirror. In that scenario the media had cases of young people such as ALYONA IYEVSKAYAfirst year student at the University of Moscow, who no longer dream of London or Paris, but with Shanghai and Beijing. China is not only admired for its accelerated development and its educational and labor opportunities, but also for its Diplomatic closeness with the Kremlin and its role as an economic support of an increasingly isolated Russia from the western world. The eastern turn. The transformation is not superficial. From public schools overflowing with the demand for Mandarin classeseven technical universities that incorporate it as Second mandatory languageChinese learning has become a progress tool for a generation that associates the future with the East. In fact, the medium underlined some incontestable data: Employment offers that require Chinese knowledge They have shotwhile Chinese Nannies They are hired by the Russian elite for their children to grow bilingual from the cradle. In bookstores, books about Chinese Confucius and Philosophy abound, theaters host montages Based on novels contemporaries of the country, and museum exhibitions They actively seek collaborations With cultural institutions of Beijing. Putin and Xi Jinping There is much more. Yes, because he Commerce also reflects This change: more than 900,000 Chinese cars were sold in Russia in 2024, multiplying for eight The 2021 figure. Although brands like Porsche and Mercedes continue to symbolize status, models like li xiang or haval They begin to fill the Moscow streets. Of course, this mass adoption is not free of internal tensions. A latent resistance. Despite state and media enthusiasm for Sinization From Russian tastes, resistances and contradictions persist. The preference for Western products Keep aliveas shown by luxury residential buildings that look like names such as Knightsbridge or Belgravia. He described the Times More clues of that resistance, such as jokes on Chinese cars in networks, the reluctance of some consumers and the failure in the box office of Sino-Ruses as Red Silksituations that reflect a gap between the enthusiasm promoted from above and habits rooted in society sectors. Even among the new generations, Asia enthusiasm It is not uniform: older adolescents still identify with the West, while the smallest, growing in a saturated environment of “Made in China” products, barely know European or American referents. Strategic affinity, non -cultural. It is another of the possibilities that are pointed out. For some Russian analysts, such as Sinologist Yulia Kuznetsovathis turn to China is not so much a structural transition as a transient alliance. Although economic exchange and geopolitical approach between Moscow and Beijing They have intensified (With Xi Jinping visiting Putin and Bilateral Commerce Beating records), the cultural barrier remains. China, with its centralized political system and its millenary history, is still seen by many Russians as A foreign civilization. Kuznetsova even argues that Arab culture, today visible in popular destinations such as Dubai, is closer for the middle Russian citizen than China. For her, Europe (despite fractures) remains the only cultural sphere with which Russia shares deep roots. Pragmatism without enthusiasm. Thus, the vision of families such as Aleksandr Grek’smagazine editor and father of five children, perfectly synthesizes this duality. While their teenage children still consume Western culture, the little ones grow surrounded by toys, technology and visual content from China. For him, sending his 14 -year -old daughter to spend the summer with a Chinese family is not an ideological act, but a strategic investment: “China is our only friend now.” Its reasoning is based on an economic diagnosis: China leads key sectors such as Artificial intelligence wave solar energyand Russia needs to align with that engine if you want to stay competitive. That logic has become a Dominant argument Among parents, businessmen and officials: it is no longer about cultural affinity, but systemic survival. China present. What seems more or less clear is that what is happening in Russia is not only a change of tastes or languages, but a deep displacement of the axis of cultural, commercial and symbolic influence. In absence of the West (blocked by sanctions, closed to tourism and stigmatized by the official discourse), China offers not only access to consumer goods and technological cooperation, but also A new story of greatness, resilience and development without liberal ties. Seen, it is, in many ways, an alternative version of what Russia would like to be: powerful, pragmatic, respected and authoritarian. And although, as we see, that model does not go equally in the collective imaginary, nor will nostalgia delete for the western past, Everything points To, at least for now, Russia orbit more and more firmly in the sphere of Chinese attraction (and vice versa).
