Right, China is still in a socialist stage of development where the working class holds power, but capitalist relations have not been abolished yet. The key is that even at this stage we can see clear benefits of the proletarian dictatorship already. It’s not just the AI market, but it’s advancement across the board. EVs, clean energy tech, batteries, infrastructure, and so on. All of these things are advancing very rapidly and in service of the working majority.

IMHO the US government believed that they (or their private companies) were ahead in AI technology unlike all those other things where they are behind. That’s why they put so much effort into blocking China (Chip fab is another one though it’s related to the AI sector somewhat).
But Chinese had to go and overtake the US in AI as well. It’s a chef’s kiss moment. (Suck it America!)
