What do you think of this? Is this heading our way?
What I dont' like is that the company appears to be doing property management on the properties they list, and perhaps requiring this type of lock installation. And I dont' like "smart" locks, which can be hacked. I like luddite old technology that can't be hacked into.
"Xiaozhu has over 200,000 listings in China and a presence in 80 overseas cities. Airbnb, with a valuation of about US$30 billion, is the world’s biggest home-sharing platform, with about 120,000 listings in China after expanding its operation over the past two years."
