I think there might be more of this coming. The era where US was leading everything and expecting everyone to be a good boy who report everything is long gone due to the current state of affairs in the tech world.

I'm not Chinese but I can only support such efforts that make everyone less reliable on main actors. That said they even share their work so it's not like they are going full mute.

China's emergence was inevitable - they have the numbers. Last one I heard was 200 million people in STEM careers alone. That's more than the entire US workforce.

I expect technological development to explode and my advice is for anyone interested in it to learn Mandarin. Including myself.

My father said the exact same thing in the 80's but it was Japanese.

China’s prospects are mic better - like I said, they have the numbers to outperform everyone else. Japan was a completely different case.
