The UK Ambassador to the US stirs up anxiety: If China wins the tech war, our lives will change
On September 6 local time, UK Ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson, in a speech on the prospects of UK-US relations after Brexit, stirred up and exaggerated that establishing a new technology partnership between the UK and the US is crucial, otherwise China will achieve technological dominance over the West in key areas such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and biotechnology.
"Only the US has the capability, wealth, and determination to compete with China in technology," Mandelson claimed. If China wins the "tech hegemony battle" in the coming decades, it will affect "every aspect of our lives." He also compared the planned UK-US technology agreement to the treaties that established the special security relationship between the UK and the US during the Cold War, and added that the UK and the US must "integrate their powerful shared resources" to win the competition with China.
