Thanks for your thoughtful reply! I think everyone, including the Chinese, agrees that they are not (yet) dominant in AI, just that they are catching up very fast to the best in the world. They might even beat all others in optimizing in existing paradigms. Part of their 2030 plan to become preeminent in AI is to develop indigenous breakthroughs by 2025 and be equal to the leading nation by 2020. They are very much on track to achieve the closest goal given evidence to date.
