    "excerpt": "In mid-May, days after Donald Trump visited Beijing, a Chinese tech founder named Levy invited me to an office party for his A.I. fortune-telling company. It\u2019s called FateTell, and it makes an app that, in the vein of traditional Chinese astrology, reads your bazi, a chart that tracks the elemental forces associated with your birth date and time. (Levy wanted me at the event because of the makeup of my bazi. According to his invitation, my governing element, fire, would counteract the water element that Levy carries in oversupply.) So I travelled from Beijing to FateTell\u2019s headquarters, situated on the edge of Hangzhou\u2014one of China\u2019s tech hubs, home to Alibaba and the insurgent Chinese A.I. company DeepSeek\u2014in a town called Liangzhu.",
