"China is winning the global tech race." That was the headline of an article published a few weeks ago in the Financial Times, explaining the country's accelerated technological growth and its impact on global markets.
Leadership in key technologies
China today leads or competes for the lead in multiple strategic technologies: 5G networks, artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, drones and high-speed rail. These sectors share something in common: massive public investment combined with a competitive private ecosystem.
Tech giants
Companies such as Huawei, Tencent, Alibaba, BYD, CATL or DJI have moved from being national leaders to becoming global benchmarks. Their products and services are present in virtually every country and their R&D budgets compete with those of the largest American multinationals.
Implications for global trade
For importers and entrepreneurs from the rest of the world, China's technological rise opens new opportunities: high-quality products at competitive prices, faster innovation cycles and a richer ecosystem of suppliers for almost every industry.
