right that china has
made great strides in handsets,
in 56 technology, in artificial
intelligence, in electric
vehicles, just as she said.
when
i look at the technology
race between china and
the us, europe and others,
i think there are five areas that
are really important.
they are artificial
intelligence, semi conductors,
which of course are the things that
make all of computing power
possible, the chips that power
all of our computers.
quantum computing,
which is still further out.
different aspects of biotechnology,
and financial technology.
in some of those areas,
the west is still
ahead, i would say in artificial
intelligence, most of the academics
doing the really cutting—edge work
are in the uk, in the us, canada and
elsewhere, but shirley is right.
china is rapidly catching up.
