美媒评论文章称 中国的科技开始处于领先水平

US media commentary article says China's technology is beginning to take the lead

China Daily | Local Language | News | May 9, 2025 | UndeterminedTech Development/Adoption

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt co-authored a commentary in the New York Times, asserting that China's technology sector is emerging as a leader, particularly in artificial intelligence. The article highlights that China is now comparable to or ahead of the United States in various scientific and technological areas, having shifted from importing and imitating technology to developing superior, world-class products. For instance, Xiaomi's successful delivery of over 130,000 electric vehicles contrasts sharply with Apple’s abandonment of its electric vehicle project after substantial investment.

China is increasingly deploying robots and planning for humanoid robot mass production, with projections indicating that by 2023, the number of industrial robots in China will surpass that of all other countries combined. The article emphasizes that China has fostered a robust talent pool, a strong supply chain, and exceptional manufacturing capabilities, creating a competitive domestic landscape that fosters continuous innovation as a survival strategy.

In response to China's advancements, the United States has attempted to restrict China's artificial intelligence growth by controlling the export of advanced chips. However, the article argues that such restrictions may be inadvertently fueling Chinese innovation as entrepreneurs adapt creatively to the limitations. It posits that the gap between the U.S. and China has narrowed significantly and warns that if China's innovation trajectory persists, along with an open strategy from its AI companies, it could lead to a competitive landscape where the U.S. needs to leverage all its advantages. The article concludes with a reminder of China's ambition to secure over 45% of global manufacturing by 2030, indicating that upcoming competition will encompass all technological fields.
