Chi­na is mak­ing rapid progress in dis­rup­tive tech­nolo­gies, such as humanoid robots, brain-com­put­er inter­faces, quan­tum com­put­ers, and hyper­son­ic air­craft, blur­ring the bound­aries between sci­ence fic­tion and real­i­ty. These inno­va­tions are cen­tral to Beijing’s strat­e­gy for dom­i­nance in emerg­ing mar­kets, aim­ing to out­pace West­ern nations like the U.S. Pres­i­dent Xi Jin­ping empha­sizes fos­ter­ing orig­i­nal, ground­break­ing advance­ments and achiev­ing tech­no­log­i­cal self-reliance. In 2024, Chi­na show­cased major strides in these fields, with achieve­ments high­light­ed in the Nation­al Devel­op­ment and Reform Commission’s report. This push under­scores China’s com­mit­ment to lead­ing in dis­rup­tive inno­va­tion and strength­en­ing its glob­al influ­ence through tech­no­log­i­cal break­throughs.
