Trump nominee calls China 'most formidable technological and scientific competitor'
WASHINGTON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's nominee to head the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy says China is the top U.S. competitor on technology and science and warns the future depends on who leads in key sectors.
"China has emerged as both our preeminent geopolitical rival and our most formidable technological and scientific competitor," nominee Michael Kratsios said in written testimony seen by Reuters ahead of his Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday. "The shape of the future global order will be defined by whomever leads across AI, quantum, nuclear, and other critical and emerging technologies. Chinese progress in nuclear fusion, quantum technologies, and autonomous systems all press home the urgency of the work ahead."
