From batteries and solar panels to drones and satellites, China is building tech capabilities that extend well beyond AI, writes Steve Feldstein in his new book, "Bytes and Bullets: Global Rivalries, Big Tech, and the New Shape of Modern Warfare."

    A great example of this is the US sanctioning Chinese companies forcing them to make a better version of corning/gorilla glass known as Kunlun.

    Where they haven’t made many inroads is software. Unfortunately, US tech companies still dominate the world. Hoping this will end sooner than later.

        Sorry, I meant for big businesses like Microsoft and then the major cloud providers. I do hope the world wises up and develops their own solutions in the future. US companies are not to be trusted.

          Alibaba is basically an alternative to AWS nowadays, but Chinese companies really do need to close the gap on the desktop and create alternatives for productivity apps. I’m hoping once China starts getting serious about it, they’ll build on existing open source solutions and we’ll get a boost for the Linux ecosystem overall.

      CPU and GPU logic, that’s it. Possibly Semiconductor fabrication (Intel 14A is actually shaping up well after a few years of being well behind TSMC) but they rely heavily on ASML.

      Couldn’t think of a single other thing USA actually makes the best of.

      Medicine? Nope.

      Food - c’mon lets be serious…

      Cars - again lets be serious…

      Tools - nope.

      Weapons - nope. US now buys Euro designs for guns then makes them so poorly they don’t work.

      Satellites - nope.

      Entertainment - nope.

      They can’t even get bread and circuses right.

        I think Germany and Italy might be able to beat them there…

        If you changed it to ‘Ugly gas guzzlers that are banned in EU for pedestrian safety reasons’ then they’re in with a chance (but Japan will still beat them with the Delica D5)
