As presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping prepare for their summit meeting in Washington, China’s fast-growing technology capabilities are a major topic. The big questions at the moment are how close Chinese artificial-intelligence labs are to matching the US frontier models, and whether the two sides can start negotiating rules on AI safety. But behind those lie even bigger questions: What is the balance of technological power between the US and China? And how far can the world's two big tech powers go in pulling apart the thick webs of interdependence that tie them together?
Arthur Kroeber will lead a discussion with Gavekal Technologies analysts Laila Khawaja and AJ Cortese about how to assess China’s tech capabilities, and how it is managing its rivalry with the US. They will draw on our recent publications A China Tech Report Card and The China New Energy Guidebook. They will also share insights from our inaugural Gavekal Technologies China Tour, which took a client group around the China tech hot spots of Shenzhen, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Beijing.
