A worldwide, winner-take-all race to rule tech

The US is now in a winner-take-all race with China for dominance in 5G, artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Dr. Graham Allison, a specialist in national security at Harvard said, "The story beneath the story is the Great Rivalry between a meteorically rising China and a ruling US. The very idea that a Chinese company could displace the US as No. 1 in any significant arena [China's Huawei in 5G], and most of all in a next-generation technology, is for most Americans an assault on who we are." And, recently, the New York Times wrote, "[T]he potential of 5G has created a zero-sum calculus in the Trump White House — a conviction that there must be a single winner in this arms race, and the loser must be banished."
