America`s commerce ministry announced friday (may 15) that it would cut off supplies Huawei key technology equipment to chinese technology companies, further escalating trade and technological confrontation between the us and china. U.S. and Chinese media reports emphasize the strategic importance of competition in key technology areas such as semiconductor chips, artificial intelligence, and jet engines.

The country`s evolving technological capabilities, especially in cutting-edge technology, are safe for the us threat. but voa reports quoted u.s. professionals as saying china does not yet have the full capacity to challenge the us in high-tech areas.

American CNBC news reports compare the technology race between the United States and China to a marathon race between superpowers. The United States is still ahead of many key technology sectors, but China already has the potential to catch up, and the United States can not take it lightly.


Impact of the Chinese Model

China plans to vigorously develop the biotechnology and biotechnology industries in an effort to expand their share of GDP4% by 2020


The U.S.-China economic and Security Review Committee, parliament by the United States, last month focused on the impact of the "China model ", arguing that China was trying to modify existing international regulatory bodies, norms and values.

China`s national industrial and technological development strategy has been attracting attention. The "Made in China 2025" industrial upgrading program has become the focus of the debate between the two countries, and the recent tightening of Beijing`s" China Standard 2035" technology standard program has also alerted the United States.

China Standard 2035, which aims to set global standards for future science and technology, is described as an upgraded version of "made in China 2025," showing China`s ambitions in many areas of technology, such as artificial intelligence, communication networks and data circulation.

CNBC reports that China launched the "Made in China 2025" program in 2015 to gain global dominance in high-tech manufacturing. The report also said that in 2017 China announced plans to achieve a world leader in artificial intelligence by 2030.

Frank Ross (Frank A.Rose), a security strategy expert at the Brookings Institution`s foreign policy program, was quoted as saying :" The US-China competition is basically about who controls the global IT infrastructure and standards. "

The report said the "China Standard 2035" blueprint, by developing technical details and rules, and standardizing everyday applications such as mobile networks, has a wide range of implications and allows Beijing to exert influence in many areas of technology around the world.


America can not rest easy

China`s technological catch-up is thought to constitute a safe threat for the United States

The U.S. CNBC News reports that the U.S. is clearly ahead of the artificial intelligence industry, according to a competitive research report (Citi), and that other countries "face serious difficulties in catching up with the U.S. in 2020-30" because the U.S. has advantages in artificial intelligence patents, investment and academic research

The report ranked the competitiveness of different countries based on academic research, patents, investments, labor and hardware in the field of artificial intelligence. China`s competitiveness in the field of artificial intelligence is second only to that of the United States, with China "developing an independent artificial intelligence industry ecology for economic and geopolitical reasons ".

Many countries are trying to promote domestic biological science research, but China is "the only country with a considerable size... to threat" American dominance ," said Moore (Scott Moore), director of the University of Pennsylvania`s China project, according to CNBC news.

China`s policy goal in biotechnology is to reach 4% of GDP by 2020, and the U.S. biotechnology industry now accounts for 2% of its GDP, Moore said.

China also lags behind the U.S. in jet engines and semiconductors, Michael Brown defense innovation chief Michael Brown said in a report. But he believes that China has the potential to compete with the United States, can not take it lightly.


Allies cooperate and lead

Cold War on Science and Technology: China's Rapid Growth, U.S. Coordination and Allies Maintain Advantage

A U.S. Commerce Department has announced a cut-off in supplies of key technology equipment to the Huawei to further escalate Sino-US trade and technological confrontation


Maintaining technological leadership since the end of World War II has been a national goal of the United States. During the cold war Soviet Union the launch of the first man-made satellite had had a devastating effect, once sparking technical backwardness in the United States and raising national security concerns. Throughout the Cold War and after the Cold War, the United States has linked maintaining technological leadership to national security.

China`s economic and technological development is once again giving America a sense of urgency. `China and Russia are already seen by the U.S. as strategic rivals to the U.S.-led alliance and global partners, so the U.S. needs to deepen its engagement with allies and partners to maintain technological innovation and leadership ,`said Andrew Inbury (Andrew Imbrie), a senior researcher at Georgetown University`s Center for Security and New Technologies in an article on artificial intelligence and security.

CNBC report quoted him as saying ," The United States and its allies account for two thirds of global R & D investment, and there are substantial ways in which we can increase competitiveness by aligning and focusing on common research and development resources. "

The U.S.-China relationship, however, should not cut off international exchanges with its competitors because of its deep economic dependence relationship, even in many fields such as spaceflight.
