Opinion | I Just Saw the Future. It Was Not in America.

Beijing’s message to America: We’re not afraid of you. You aren’t who you think you are — and we aren’t who you think we are.

It’s downright scary to watch this close up. President Trump is focused on what teams American transgender athletes can race on, and China is focused on transforming its factories with A.I. so it can outrace all our factories. Trump’s “Liberation Day” strategy is to double down on tariffs while gutting our national scientific institutions and work force that spur U.S. innovation. China’s liberation strategy is to open more research campuses and double down on A.I.-driven innovation to be permanently liberated from Trump’s tariffs.

The article has a weird assumption that AI would drive innovation but offers a scathing critique of the current US government.
