I am a bit surprised too at the level of difference between the US and India and China. The common thread that explains this IMO is that explosion in AI and ML start-ups in the US and India; whereas in China perhaps they need state controlled companies and large MNCs such as IBM et al to open up AI shops.

But if at all this is a problem, it is probably a short term one. China is famous for just 'adopting' others' work without telling them

Indian being Indian is quite normal and we should be proud of that. Unlike Pakistanis posing as Chinese or Chinese posing as Americans etc. You won't understand

 

[Kiss_of_the_Dragon]

They are Chinese Americans, many of them are fifth columns you guys just don't know yet lmao.

According them, Chinese American are Americans , I have been telling people so many time that nowadays , there is no such thing as American technology but Immigrant technology, US relied more and more Immigrant to do their scientific project and recruit graduated immigrants by offering them incentive package and better standard living and US expect all immigrant to be loyal and patriotic toward United States of America but they just have a wet dream, in 1960 to 80 majority of Scientist and Engineers are "native white" Americans, they can claim "Made in USA" and these people are patriotic but no today.

More AI-related and coding courses are expected to be set up in China’s primary and secondary schools, said the State Council on the recently issued document of the Next Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan.

Considered as the key to productivity reform in the upcoming decades, AI technology’s rapid development is changing the society profoundly. China should seize the opportunity and join the promotion of AI popular science, encouraging more fundamental courses focusing on AI initiation, the State Council pointed out in the document.

Constructing more science infrastructure and providing more AI-related courses, China’s educational organizations will cultivate interests for the youth and ensure them more accesses to AI education, said the Plan.

Besides primary and secondary schools, governments will also support institutions of higher learning, vocational schools and socialization training Institutions to carry out AI skills training and foster more professionals, in order to meet the great demand of social development.

At the same time, more preferential policies and measures will be i place to encourage and support domestic AI enterprises to cooperate with international leading AI schools, scientific research institutes and teams, according to the State Council.

In fact, China has made a three-step national strategy to boost the AI industry development in China.

Firstly, China should have achieved important progress in a new generation of AI theories and technologies by 2020, having actualized important progress in big data intelligence, cross-medium intelligence, swarm intelligence and other main fields.

Then, China’s AI industry is expected to enter the global high-end value chain, where AI will be widely used in more fields such as intelligent manufacturing, intelligent medicine and intelligent city.

Finally, China will have seen the establishment of AI laws and regulations, ethical norms and policy systems, and the formation of AI security assessment and control capabilities by 2025.

It's good that the yellow peril terror exist, this will put many Chinese American out of sensitive business in America and force them back to China.

Many Chinese American are agents for China. I hope all white American continue to maintain that kind of mentality. Chinese American will never work for the US white interest. They are just there to leech the America wealth and ready to return motherland to repay their heritage.

The white American brag about many Chinese taking US citizenship. Many are just agents stealing American wealth and secret. White American still foolishly brag as a good thing. I pity their stupidity.

China Life and Baidu (China Search engine company) will set up a US$1 billion investment fund in Artificial Intelligence and Fintech.

China Life on Thursday said it had teamed up with internet search company Baidu to form a 7 billion yuan (US $ 1 billion) private equity fund. China Life will invest 5.6 billion yuan while Baidu will cover the remainder. The fund will invest in unlisted companies Involved in artificial intelligence (AI) and internet finance.

Baidu has invested heavily in artificial intelligence: Building image-recognition technology, investing in autonomous driving, launching digital assistants, similar to Apple’s Siri, and even developing personal home robots. In May, the firm amended its mission statement to reflect the change in direction.

In July, Baidu said more than 50 groups have signed on to build and improve on Apollo, its autonomous driving platform, including top Chinese car manufacturers Chery Auto, Great Wall Motors and Changan Automobile, and even ridesharing company Grab Taxi. Foreign partners included Ford and Intel.

Of the 20 billion yuan ($3 billion) Baidu spent in research and development over the past two and a half years, the majority goes to AI.

In july, the Chinese government laid out a timeline on Friday for when it expects the country to become a global leader in Artificial Intelligence.

By 2020, China’s AI technologies and research facilities will match other leading countries, said Li Meng, the vice minister of science and technology. Five years later, he expects “a big breakthrough,” and then China should finally become the global “innovation center for AI” by 2030.

They set out goals to build a domestic artificial intelligence industry worth nearly $150 billion in the next few years.

But to be honest, according to your previous posts logic, they are American, as you don't consider Chinese Descendants as Chinese. So as long as they have American Green Card or even citizenship, they are American.

I have two friends in USA. both are Chinese Ethnicity who born in Indonesia. One is a Vice President of a software company, and the other is a Phd of Multi core CPU. Because they have become USA citizen, then they are American, not Indonesian anymore. But are they Chinese? That's the question. But according to you, they are not. They are American. Because they are USA Citizen, not China Citizen.

So please, don't take other people achievement as yours, when you don't recognize them as your fellow Chinese to begin with. Don't be a double standard about this issue.

I won't complain if the one who said about the Chinese American is Wang Laokan, as he still recognize all Chinese Descendants as his fellow Chinese, and he cares about them. But you, nope. You don't have the right to say about it.
