30 years in journalism has sharpened my mind.

I've spent years in AI.

And months researching China and the US as they fight silently for AI supremacy.

$500bn in The Stargate Project does not come close to the value China has created integrating AI into every aspect of its society and economy. But the truth is, they won before the US even woke up to AI's potential. China's superapps - forget homescreens, because you only need one icon to run your life in the Republic - were simply laying the foundation for where we are, today.

But let's have a debate, nonetheless.

East v West: which is best?
