In a detailed analysis by Bloomberg Intelligence, the current landscape of China's technology sector reveals clear leaders and emerging areas of growth. As of this year, China stands out prominently in the fields of drones, high-speed rail, electric vehicles (EVs), solar panels, and advanced materials like graphene. These sectors stem from governmental support and a robust industrial policy set in motion over a decade ago. However, China grapples with notable deficiencies, particularly in the commercial aircraft sector, showcasing a mix of strengths and weaknesses. This reflection on China's tech journey highlights how U.S. responses, chiefly through export controls and tariffs, aim to counter China's progress, especially focusing on AI and semiconductor industries. In recent developments, despite U.S. attempts to control exports of key technologies, companies like SMIC and Huawei demonstrate resilience and continued advancement, indicating the intricate interplay between policy, competition, and technological development on a global scale. The implications of these advancements extend far beyond economics, touching national security and military applications, creating a complex web of international tech competition.
