Good article, a good call to arms. In my fields of interest (General AI, NLP, machine learning), Chinese research papers even just 20 years ago did not impress me much. Now, it worries me that some of the best published research from China gets translated too slowly. As a US citizen, I think that our ability vs. China’s ability to market high tech to places like Europe and the upcoming countries in Africa and elsewhere will be all important. I don’t think that President Trump’s approach is correct, BTW. We should invest more in education, research and infrastructure. He is right to push back, but much more moderately than he is doing. If our economic and tech “war” with China badly inconveniences other countries, then there will be blowback.
