US-China technological competition

Overview

The United States and China are engaged in a geopolitical struggle for supremacy in artificial intelligence and semiconductor manufacturing. While some analysts suggest China has gained an advantage in AI, others argue the United States maintains a lead due to superior access to microprocessors. Taiwan remains a critical focal point in this competition due to its production of essential chips.

The competition has drawn warnings from U.S. defense officials. Emil Michael, the Pentagon’s Deputy Under Secretary for Research and Development, cautioned that China could surpass the U.S. in the AI race, noting that technological dominance will determine economic and military leadership in the 21st century.
