If Xi Jinping would care enough then they will build A(G)I.
China has 1,4 billion people.The Chinese economy is 18 trillion dollars per annum. What is a 1,10,100, even a 1000 billion dollar training run on that kind of industrial might? The stickler is political will not economic possibility.
The only real question is whether Western controls on chip import/exports is working. It seems that China is about 10 years behind on Western chip manufactures—but catching up quickly.
In general I think it’s often helpful to ignore mood afilliatiated stories about this or that country doing well or not well. Focus on the actual numbers*. In many cases the narrative is about an effect that is <1% of the economy. That’s not going to matter.
*well caveat that a Chinese GDP statistics are maybe probably somewhat fake. e.g. satelite light photos etc.
I doubt it matters much.
