โš”๏ธ China has edge over US on MUCH MORE than just AI language models

The shock release of a new Chinese AI model known as DeepSeek thatโ€™s cheaper, faster and open source sent shockwaves across Silicon Valley, wiping out $1 trln off tech stocks and prompting pundits to dub the new tech a โ€œSputnik momentโ€ for the US.

But actually, China now dominates the US in 57 of 64 critical technologies, up from just three in 2007, a comprehensive, 20-year 2024 study by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) has calculated.

The US, which led in 60 sectors in 2007, now leads in just seven.
Rankings are based on cumulative innovative and high-impact research and patents.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Where does China excel?

๐ŸŸ advanced integrated circuit design and fabrication
๐ŸŸ high-specification machining processes
๐ŸŸ advanced aircraft engines
๐ŸŸ drones, swarming and collaborative robots
๐ŸŸ electric batteries
๐ŸŸ photovoltaics
๐ŸŸ advanced radiofrequency communication

๐Ÿคก Where is US leading?

๐ŸŸ natural language processing
๐ŸŸ quantum computing
๐ŸŸ genetic engineering

๐Ÿ† China's winning strategy

ASPI credits President Xi Jinpingโ€™s โ€˜Made in China 2025โ€™ plan for the infusion of โ€œmassive direct state funding for R&D in key technology,โ€ saying strategic investments already underway were turned into a plan to achieve โ€œtechnological supremacy.โ€

Besides research spending, Xiโ€™s strategy has seen โ€œlarge and complimentary investmentsโ€ฆinto industrial policy, upgrading supply chains and the manufacturing sector.โ€
