literally a neo-industrial revolution

Microsoft and China The Cost Of Doing Business
Everyone knows right China is ripe for business, particularly the e-business. The population of China has number of well over 1 billion people for some years now and they are growing by leaps and bounds. They are literally a neo-industrial revolution.
I don’t know what this could possibly mean.
After reading the rest of the article, I think this guy is a neo-jackass trying to sound smart by using fancy words, but, just as with Keanu Reeves, calling something “Neo” doesn’t necessarily make it smart.
Sorry if that sounds harsh, but after news of Microsoft helping China censor speech, the recent spate of apologists has sickened me.
At least some people have it right.
