In a move straight out of a sci-fi playbook 🚀, China and the U.S. just renewed their 45-year-old science and tech partnership for five more years – because even superheroes need team-ups to save the world. The deal, extended through August 2027, promises to turbocharge everything from AI to climate solutions.
🇨🇳 Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian called it a \”win-win collab that’s basically the Avengers of innovation\” (okay, we paraphrased 😜), stressing it’ll help tackle global challenges like pandemics and energy crises. The pact first signed in 1979 has already spawned over 100 joint projects – think quantum computing meetups and Mars rover data swaps.
🔥 Why it matters: This extension follows through on last year’s Biden-Xi summit vibes. As tech becomes the new Olympic arena 🏟️, this deal could prevent a full-blown innovation cold war. Plus, your future lab-grown coffee? Probably powered by this partnership.
