Hi everyone,
I just finished reading “China’s Long Game Against America” https://open.substack.com/pub/fincom/p/chinas-long-game-against-america?r=6rzrlm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
The article lays out how China’s been quietly building the foundation for long-term tech dominance, not just catching up, but reshaping the whole ecosystem around chips, AI, and industrial innovation. It’s not just about competing with the U.S.; it’s about becoming fully self-reliant and future-proof.
What really struck me is how coordinated it all seems, government policy, capital allocation, research, and even public sentiment all moving in the same direction. Meanwhile, the West keeps underestimating that focus.
It made me wonder, could China actually surpass the U.S. in tech within our lifetime? Maybe not in 2–3 years, but over 10–20?
Curious what people here think. is China’s long game truly paying off, or is this still mostly narrative over reality?
Will China surpass the US?
