China will be a tech superpower and the race with the U.S. is on, and there is no simple path for the U.S. to win it.
NYT provides a perspective on China’s approach: Xi Jinping is turning China into a tech superpower, no matter the cost, no matter Trump. 1/At the National People’s Congress, he pushed AI, biotech, and new weapons while tightening his grip on power.
Dissent is gone. The economy struggles, but Xi pours money into military and tech. 2/China's tech budget is now $172B, second only to the U.S. But with Trump’s cuts, that gap could shrink.
Meanwhile, tariffs don’t slow Xi’s export machine. 3/Beijing’s AI drives surveillance. Its military builds stealth jets, drone swarms, and silent submarines.
The West scrambles to counter. China’s rise fuels a global tech and arms race. 4/Tech war, military buildup, economic pain—Xi bets it all. His vision shapes the future.
