minus-squarefruitycoder@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·20 hours ago “China’s” is a possessive and makes no sense. “an executive” is singular, “aren’t” is plural “that’s true” is surperfulous and already understood Does this sound better? “While China is getting there, executives in the U.S. aren’t so convinced.” Also who the hell cares if existing execs aren’t convinced lol
