US-China Tech Rivalry

China is now more capable than silicon valley, the rest of the world just hasn't caught up yet.

it's not racism. sure chinese could develope all these things on their own. but you need to realize, they'd have to produces the machines that produces the machines that produce the machines... first. all this 'high tech' stuff is _really_ hrd to make. it would take a ton of money invested to even get to current tech levels. and tech advances pretty fast.

If China (as the US claims ) does it, why not the US ? They don't want to lose the lead in this field. /s

Because the Chinese government steals it and then gives it to "private" chinese companiesNot having to do billions in R&D makes it pretty easy to catch up.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/22/technology/china-micron-c...

Yes they can. DJI drones, solar, battery tech, EVs they are world leaders. They also linked the entire country with a high speed rail network. The US is largely software focused and they are hardware focused, which is frankly the bigger problem. Eventually they are likely to match SpaceX as well.Modern semiconductor manufacture requires tech from the entire world. China is aiming to replicate pretty much all of it because of sanctions.While the US and Europe are killing themselves with reg

Chinese companies? they are working hard to get away from US proprietary tech.

China has been and is being shut off from the West's most innovative industries. The goal is to slow China's progress. I suspect that it's only a matter of time before they innovate their way into technology that will surpass what they lack now. A great advantage they have is that they can focus their resources on single points of need. There is a great advantage in that but there's also the danger that they choose the wrong technology and they get lost and never get anywhere

It’s hard to know what’s real and what‘s not in China. Or what’s safe and what’s not. See tofu dreg construction, electric car fires, contaminated baby food, and a long list of other things. But I have to say, from the outside, it seems like they are making very strong progress on all things software except MAYBE building a native OS for themselves. On AI, I think the only bottleneck is perhaps access to Nvidia GPUs but even that has workarounds for them (through third parties that end up purpos

Nope China won't do that, we are not this low. We will do it the hardest way, our people are hard at work to develop the tech and supply chain. We will foster the talent, commercial flywheel in this space.

Once China becomes a/the leader it develops its own technology and prevent others from using/stealing it, just like the US did.
