within three to five years

That's tech speak for "never"

The technology, developed by Borui Kang Medical Technology (Shanghai), is designed to restore hand-movement capabilities in individuals suffering from paralysis.

Specifically, the system targets patients with quadriplegia resulting from cervical spinal cord injuries, enabling them to regain hand-grasping ability through the use of a specialised glove.

Incredible technology, nonetheless.

But crazy to think this would be a commercial public service any time soon

It‘s standard „China is 50 years ahead of us!!!“ type media coverage and a core part of Chinese propaganda. They always make these spectacular claims and by the time experts and peer reviews chime in to debunk it or at least express serious doubts there‘s already another wild technology breakthrough claim from China. They know it takes a magnitude of effort to debunk fake news so they‘re always faster than people who actually have to read through their often AI generated slop studies. Even when the tech is technically real it‘s usually blown out of proportions. Even when they accomplish impressive tasks they coat it in lies. That‘s just how Chinese propaganda operates. You have to doubt everything.

So what you're saying is that it's Reagans star wars program? A way of forcing unsustainable growth into a rival power at effectively no cost. Ya know history doesn't repeat itself but it does rhyme, so what will the US equivalent of "Mr. Gorbachev tear down that wall be"? Or will it be more a wailing from inside the Whitehouse bunker as mustard gas is pumped in and the doors welded shut.
