Subject: Just look at EVs, Biotech, Green Tech and last but not least, DeepSeek has shaken up the global tech industry, igniting fierce competition in artificial intelligence (AI). As tech giants race to refine their models, secure computing power and enter the next frontier for expert systems, one thing is clear: the competition is just getting started. How can China sustain its technological innovation in the face of global competition? What are the key technological and strategic developments to watch in the AI competition between the US and China? What are the emerging sectors driving entrepreneurship in China? What is the role of venture capital and private equity in fostering innovation? What would a world dominated by Chinese innovations look like?
