While the two major countries are competing economically, it seems that the United States is losing its race with China in the field of technology and technical development.
China leads this race in nearly 37 technical areas out of 44, according to research conducted over a year by the think tank of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.
The research also showed that these areas include electric batteries, hypersonics, as well as advanced communications and 5G and 6G services.
As for the United States, according to the report, it is still a leader in 7 of the remaining technologies, such as vaccines, quantum computing, and space launch systems.

In addition, the report revealed that China has built solid foundations to position itself as a leading superpower in the field of science and technology, through many advanced researches in these technical fields.
He also indicated that the top 10 world-leading research institutions in the field of technology are located in China, adding that they publish very important and high-impact research, nine times more than what is published in America.

He added that the Chinese Academy of Sciences ranked first or second in most of the 44 technologies included in the research, according to the Guardian newspaper.
More than that, he warned of a Chinese monopoly on eight technologies, including nanomaterials, hydrogen and ammonia for energy, and synthetic biology.
He also warned that China’s ability in the field of hypersonic missiles, with nuclear capabilities, should not be a surprise to US intelligence agencies, because analysis of data over the past five years revealed that Beijing produced 48.49% of high-impact research papers in this field.
It is noteworthy that both America and China, the two largest economic powers in the world, are battling politically over several files, and economically as well.
While the race in the field of science and technology occupies the most important role in this hidden struggle.
