China is focusing its resources on developing artificial intelligence (AI) rather than real estate, aiming for self-sufficiency without surpassing the US in AI technology. Despite significant private sector investment in the US—around 23 times more than China—Beijing leverages lower costs and state support to advance AI development. However, China's AI chip production and computing power lag behind US leaders like Nvidia, limiting its ability to fully capitalize on AI models. The competition hinges on integrating AI across industries and finding the right balance of investment and technology to commercialize AI effectively.
