U.S. public opinion drives the pace of science and technology, and takes the trouble to comment that China cannot do without the advanced technology of the United States and the West. Allow me to paraphrase the words of Foreign Minister Qin Gang. I said: China’s scientific and technological development cannot be separated from the international environment. Similarly, without China’s scientific and technological progress, there will be no progress in the world.

China takes the lead in many fields of science and technology. There are many discussions about the development of China’s chips, artificial intelligence, and electric vehicles. China’s new energy technology has also emerged suddenly, and its achievements have been unexpected. “Nikkei Shimbun”‘s latest report, titled “China is also at the forefront in the field of demonstration of nuclear fusion power generation”, originally “From the trend of patent applications, it can be seen that in the field of nuclear fusion technology that may fundamentally solve the problem of global warming, China, which started relatively late, is quickly catching up.” There is basically no obvious “generational gap” between China and the United States. In a serious comparison, the United States is submissively admitted as No. 2.
“Nikkei” stated: “As a new generation of energy technology, China’s sense of presence is increasing in the field of nuclear fusion research that is expected to be practical after 2040. After counting important patents, it is found that China ranks first, higher than the United States (No. 2) and Japan (4). Nuclear fusion has the potential to be the trump card for decarbonisation, along with renewable energy.” Briefly on the technology: “Nuclear fusion will reproduce the same reaction as the sun, known as ‘ The sun on the ground”. The energy generated when hydrogen nuclei collide with each other is used for power generation. In theory, 1 gram of fuel can generate energy equivalent to 8 tons of oil.”
Statistics show that the United States originally led the way in this field, and by the 2000s it was clearly ahead of other countries in terms of the number of patents. However, China caught up and was unstoppable, so it surpassed the United States in this way. Biden has already caught up. In August last year, he signed the “Chip and Science Act” with a total investment of 280 billion U.S. dollars, including the allocation of 52 billion U.S. dollars to support the manufacturing and research and development of the semiconductor industry in the United States. However, how does the United States compete with China in the field of new energy? “Nikkei” quoted a source as saying: “In order to promote the commercialization of (nuclear fusion technology) private enterprises, Biden will introduce a policy of implementing 50 million US dollars in financial support in September 2022, and at the same time is strengthening the support system for technology development.” The United States is enough. Have you used it? The report pointed out that since nuclear fusion involves a lot of technological cooperation, China’s development is due to the use of “a national effort”, including national cooperation on this technology patent. This is a characteristic of the Chinese system. Zero, even a figure of 100 billion US dollars may not be able to win against China, not to mention how many more 100 billion US dollars in funding from the United States?
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Raymond Raimondo talked about the vision of the United States in Georgetown last week. The goal is to make “the United States the most advanced technological superpower, ensuring the economic and national security of the United States for the next generation. Just like the United States in nuclear energy and the space race. same leadership in China.” I would like to ask, is the US really winning the race with China in nuclear energy and space missions?
China has the largest market, a strong industrial supply chain, and sufficient young technical talents in the Mainland. In addition to the Chinese-style modernization of the national development model, no other country can match it. Without Chinese technology, there will be no worldtechnology. It makes sense. Obvious, but the United States is not going to accept it, put the chip in the safe, and then wait for “China to collapse”!
