China Daily Website, May 30th. The New York Times recently published an article stating that China's forward-looking strategic layout focusing on its own development has given it a leading advantage in multiple key areas, moving towards the status of a global technological and economic power.
Through forward-looking policies and large-scale investments, China has not only consolidated its traditional manufacturing advantages but also accelerated its progress in future technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and robotics.
The article argues that China's strategic investments have yielded significant results. In January this year, China's startup company DeepSeek launched an AI chatbot, marking China's ability to rival the US in the field of artificial intelligence, triggering a震撼similar to the "Sputnik Moment".
In the electric vehicle sector, BYD, a Chinese automaker, has surpassed Tesla in global sales, with its market value exceeding the combined total of Ford, General Motors, and Volkswagen in March.
Although semiconductors were once a weakness for China, Huawei's breakthroughs are leading the construction of a self-sufficient Chinese supply chain. These advancements form a virtuous cycle, with interrelated technological breakthroughs mutually reinforcing each other, driving continuous leaps in China's overall industries.
The article believes that China's policies demonstrate strong strategic foresight. In contrast, America's shortsighted policies are weakening its competitiveness. Trump's administration's obsession with tariffs failed to force China to change its effective economic policies but instead restricted American enterprises from entering global markets and supply chains, cut research and development funding, and caused talent outflows.
The article states that over the years, American skeptics have repeatedly predicted the collapse of China's economy, only to be proven wrong time and again. China's unique advantage lies in its flexibility and resilience, enabling it to swiftly respond to challenges through policy adjustments and resource reallocation to serve long-term interests.
This capability allows China to continuously shift toward high-value industries and maintain its leading position in global competition. The article suggests that if China continues on its current trajectory, its global leadership will be further consolidated.
In the future, the competition in artificial intelligence will not unfold between the United States and China but among high-tech cities in China like Shenzhen and Hangzhou. The global supply chain will be reconfigured around China, forming an economic pattern dominated by China.
In contrast, if the United States does not change, it may gradually lose its competitive edge.
The article concludes that what the United States truly needs is to increase investment in R&D, support academic and corporate innovation, strengthen global economic ties, and create a friendly environment for international talent and capital. However, the current policies of the US government are moving in the opposite direction.
