China isn't spending trillions on AI. Are they saying Western companies are less efficient than Chinese companies at deploying AI?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No, they're saying AI is a good excuse to find more ways to rob us all
Facts don't matter. The only thing that matters is inflating the bubble that's propping up the US economy.
So stop asking pesky questions and pay for tokens!
Translation for Boomers: They’re coming for your pensions! You will finance the AI surveillance dystopia for your grandchildren to live in.
The US will never be ahead of China in any regard
never? Like not even June 1989?
Him first.
Using retirement and savings on things with ROI makes sense. But the ROI of investing in infrastructure would be so much better. But over yonder is america. So you won't get that.
This is a perfect moment to note:
Unlike socialism or capitalism, fascism does not stipulate a specific economic system. However, there are some qualities that are consistently found under fascist systems, chief among which are a sort of "revolving door" between government and business, such that leaders in one field exert influence or even hold positions in the other as well, the (not coincidental) broad concept that what's good for business is automatically good for the country, and the socialization of investment, risk and loss, while keeping profits entirely private.
Or in other words, exactly what's happening here.
