    NewsBreak”, a free app with roots in China that is the most downloaded news app in the United States.

    Never heard of it. Hard to believe it’s the most downloaded news app. I guess I’m out of touch.

          China will always win. It’s just a numbers game at this point. Thankfully I’ll be dead and gone by then.

            If it’s purely a numbers game then I’m interested to see how India develops over the next 50 years.
