China's Tech Upgrade: What Could Go Wrong? Plenty!
China's Silicon Valley has evolved over the past two decades to a potentially dominant worldwide tech leader in the near future. From copiers to originators, Chinese tech titans are showing the way forward with leading-edge advances that rival the West.

: It is the greatest threat to Chinese fintech dominance now and they know it. Chinese tech firms have not yet gained many users internationally, unlike US tech.
