China is sprinting ahead in the global tech race, and the West needs to pay attention, says Microsoft Vice Chair Brad Smith. At Lisbon’s Web Summit, Smith dropped a truth bomb: China isn’t just catching up—it’s already here. 🚀
\"People who don’t go to China assume they’re behind,\" Smith told CNBC, \"but when you see what they’re building? It’s impressive.\" From AI labs to semiconductor hustle, Chinese innovation is now neck-and-neck with Silicon Valley and European hubs.
Smith predicts a marathon rivalry between US and Chinese tech giants, urging Western companies to team up: \"Collaboration isn’t optional—it’s survival mode.\" Could this turbocharge global AI development? 🤖💡
While Washington debates chip bans, Smith’s message cuts through: Underestimate China’s tech muscle at your peril. Time for a reality check, folks. 📈
