China’s resurgence in AI and robotics stems from its historical context and engineering culture, bolstered by significant advances in technology and supply chain control. It leads in renewable energy and commands a substantial share of critical materials, positioning itself strategically in the global market. The United States, while innovative, faces challenges from offshoring and infrastructure decay, even as it leads in frontier AI research and semiconductor design. Japan combines its robust robotics ecosystem with the potential to act as a mediator between the US and China, advancing collaboration in AI and robotics while addressing its internal contradictions. A united US-Japan front could counterbalance China’s manufacturing strength through open standards and decentralized production, ultimately aiming for a future of constructive competition and alignment among leading nations in technology.
