China is building a strong America.
Why can't CHATGPT be born in China? That's because data from the Global AI Talent Tracker shows that 59 percent of the world's top 20 percent of AI researchers with graduate degrees or higher are in the United States, only 11 percent in China, 10 percent in Europe, and 6 percent in Canada. The number of AI talent in the rest of the countries is largely negligible. This led directly to the birth of CHATGPT in the United States. While most of the AI talent is based in the U.S., that's not the root cause.
Another set of data shows that China trains 29% of the world's AI engineers, more than the United States. However, 17 percent went directly to the U.S. after graduation, while only 11 percent stayed home. These people received compulsory education, went all the way to college, and more than half went to the United States after graduation. This directly led to the artificial intelligence boom in the United States. And China is almost deserted. Do not rush to reproach these people, even if they remain in the country, they will not be able to create CHATGPT.
A very important reason is that Chinese Internet companies are not really investing in research and development. Don't blame these entrepreneurs easily, they also want to engage in R&D, but China's R&D environment is not friendly. Jack Ma has made a huge contribution to the Chinese economy, and he only told a few truths, but was scolded as an evil capitalist.
Ant Financial uses money from the bank to lend, but without Ant Financial, can you still take out a loan at the bank? China's private entrepreneurs face enormous pressure at home. R&D requires long-term investment and needs to consider future developments, but they themselves do not know what the future holds. If companies don't have a stable environment and clear market expectations, they won't invest in R&D. When people have no sense of security, they will not choose to reproduce, and the same is true for enterprises engaged in research and development.
