This is hardly "about China".

There's stuff going back to the 1940s that warning about totalitarianism and technology. There is also this from 1958: https://www.huxley.net/bnw-revisited/index.html

Yes, the article is about that stuff in China, because in 2020 that's there the most aggressive development of that occurs. But it's not "about China", as if it was also about cuisine and any random thing to do with China. It's more specific than that.
