@ As far as trolling goes China's Xi is far inferior to Trump. He wants to annex Taiwan, to which Trump responded by wanting to annex Greenland. If Chinese can't see the irony in that, then they are certainly second to Westerners in having a sense of humor, as well. ;-)

@ It's not the dance that is tacky. It's the implementation which works around the physical limitations of the hardware as best as it can. Twenty years from now, however, humanoid robots will most likely be capable of not only matching but of exceeding human dancers in skill and grace.
