  • China's state-owned industrial giants have set up nearly 100 new research hubs as part of a government initiative launched in 2022 to drive technological breakthroughs in a slew of strategic fields. The huge state-directed effort is part of a broader push by Beijing to counter Washington's attempts to contain China's technological progress and revitalise the Chinese economy through game-changing innovations.

The article from MSN discusses how China is intensifying its efforts in state-led research to spearhead a technological revolution, aiming to reduce its dependency on foreign technology and enhance its global tech competitiveness. China's strategy includes significant investments in key areas like semiconductors, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and 6G technology. The government is not only funding these initiatives but also restructuring its research institutions to foster innovation, with a focus on creating a synergy between academia, industry, and military sectors. This approach is part of a broader plan to achieve technological self-reliance and leadership, especially in light of increasing technological restrictions from the U.S. and other Western countries. The article highlights the establishment of new research hubs, increased funding for basic research, and the integration of military and civilian technology development as critical components of China's tech strategy.
