The article's approach makes it impossible to draw any conclusions.
1. A statistical analysis of thousands (or more) companies, labs, universities and papers/patents needs to be performed for even a slightly meaningful scientific conclusion.
2. The evidence of IP theft perpetrated by Chinese state-backed entities seems to suggest the beneficiary to be China
3. A majority of AI researchers in the U.S. obtained their undergrad degrees in China, India, or elsewhere.
Considering the above 3 points, US AI research benefits greatly from foreign (especially China, India) born researchers, but the US research and industry ecosystem attracts and produces consistently high quality output with global impact, especially from open sourcing this research (tensorflow and friends). As of 2019, China seems to benefit more from American IP than the other way round.
