Can you give some real examples?
- AI developed in China without using American technology?
- AI developed in China that surpasses AI from OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok, and Google Gemini?
Let's not forget about China's electric vehicles. And doesn't China has its own independent AI chatbot called "DeepSeek"? Not to mention, ByteDance (TikTok's parent company) launched a revolutionary AI-based video generator (called SeaDance 2.0) which "mimics" movie actors in real life (google it and see for yourself). Another Chinese "breakthrough".
Regarding the most advanced artificial intelligence models, China still lags behind the USA. And despite the great tech advancement in China, it is still facing problems with both factors combined; Electronic chips and capital. While private ِchineese investors don't have access to big financement to compete with american companies, the problem with electronic chips won't reach an end as long Taiwan is still in disagreement with Beijing.
To be fair, China still lags behind the United States in most areas. But there is no denying that they are developing faster and more strongly than any other country. With such a growth rate, they will sooner or later catch up with the United States if the United States does not accelerate its own growth rate.
In my opinion, the United States needs more solutions than just using trade wars and restricting technology exports to contain this country.
To objectively assess the situation, it is enough to simply compare the technologies developed by the U.S. and China—not those that have been copied, but specifically those that have been invented and scaled up for mass production. I can certainly acknowledge, for example, the notable successes of Chinese manufacturers in energy storage technologies (batteries), mega online marketplaces like Alibaba, their own BeiDou navigation system, and Ultra High Voltage (UHV) power grids. This is CHINESE, if you don’t dig too deep into the fundamental foundations, scientific research, and so on. In short—not very impressive figures, compared to other highly developed countries. And provided that China reached this state only because 30–40 years ago it was Western countries that brought technology to China.
