Beijing’s progress in implementing its “Made in China 2025” (MIC2025) strategy for industrial modernisation over the past decade is raising fresh alarms in Washington, with a congressional panel using it on Thursday to warn that the US is at risk of falling behind as China takes unexpected strides in the realms of artificial intelligence (AI) and humanoid robotics.

In response, Washington should strive to boost tech ties with allies and ease visa rules for Chinese STEM talent, analysts urged on Thursday during an online hearing – dubbed “Made in China 2025 – Who is winning?” – held by the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, which monitors and reports on the national security risks of bilateral trade and economic ties.

China launched the MIC2025 plan in 2015 to drive self-reliance and innovation across 10 key industries. As of April, the country had achieved 86 per cent of its targets.
