and I argue the US-China tech race will be defined by the integration of advanced software and hardware. US firms lead in AI, but CN companies now dominate emerging hardware. The US risks falling way behind. đź§µ

argues that China's "good enough" AI strategy (think DeepSeek) could disrupt the market. It's about affordable tech. Huawei playbook 2.0? Open-source Chinese models are closing the gap, fast.
