China Holds Financial Edge in U.S. Rivalry, AI Wildcard

China Holds Financial Edge in U.S. Rivalry, AI Wildcard
In the U.S.-China rivalry, one has a slight edge. AI is a wild card. · livemint.com

The United States and China are competing for global influence.

Louis-Vincent Gave studied how costly it is for each country to manage important parts of its economy.

He looked at capital, labor, energy, and government.

His calculations suggest China has an advantage in most of these areas.

However, this does not mean China will definitely win.

Artificial intelligence could change the balance in unexpected ways.

The United States may still have important strengths.

Investors should therefore consider both countries rather than counting out America.
