Is it a good alternative?
Absolutely, especially given that a lot of it is based on open source technology such as RISCV. Similarly, China is releasing open models like DeepSeek while US companies are pursuing closed service approach.
Better than having FAANG+ dominate the human species.
I thought competition was a good thing?
Honestly agreed.
But that's not what the alternative is. That's not what's happening in the U.S, at least currently.
Also agreed only within what China currently is. Not what it could become.
China already sells surveillance equipment to willing buyers in the EU and Asia. Pakistan's Chinese weaponry has already shown itself.
Governments already seek China's level of authority, it's the only way forward.
