America is Run by Lawyers, China by Engineers, Says Expert. Who Will Win?

The article discusses the ongoing competition between the United States and China, particularly in the areas of trade and technological innovation. It highlights the views of Dan Wang, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, who suggests that the future of the world is becoming more protectionist and fragmented. Wang suggests that while the U.S. is run by lawyers, China is led by engineers, which may give China an advantage in the race for technological dominance. He also notes that China is "trying to double down not just on AI, but on absolutely everything," which he sees as a significant challenge for the West. The article also mentions that the OECD has reported that the global economy is weathering Donald Trump's trade tariffs better than expected, with activity getting a boost from strong investment in artificial intelligence and supportive fiscal and monetary policies. Overall, the article provides a concise overview of the expert's perspective on the ongoing competition between the U.S. and China, highlighting the potential advantages and challenges faced by each country.
