In this article, we discuss 8 AI news and ratings making waves on Wall Street.
According to an MIT Technology Review report, ”There can be no winners in a US-China AI arms race,” the US-China AI rivalry, initially centered on economic competition, has shifted toward national security concerns. The US attempted to limit China’s access to advanced semiconductors, but it has only accelerated China’s self-sufficiency. Furthermore, the gap between their AI capabilities has narrowed, with Chinese models achieving similar results using fewer resources.
The real threat is not China’s AI progress but the potential misuse of AI by rogue actors. The report argues that instead of escalating tensions, the US and China should collaborate on AI safety, governance, and research. Cooperation could prevent instability, foster technological progress, and maximize AI’s benefits for global challenges like health care and education.
China’s AI Growth and Tech Valuations in Focus
In a March 18 interview with CNBC, Tim Wang of Monolith Management discussed that open-source AI models like DeepSeek are major enablers in China, as they lower inference costs and promote innovation. He believes that China’s AI development was once thought to be 12–24 months behind the U.S., but is now just 3–6 months behind. Despite strong earnings from major Chinese tech firms, their stock valuations remain significantly lower than their U.S. counterparts.
He noted that while U.S. tech companies have already priced in AI-driven growth, Chinese firms are just beginning to see its impact on revenue and cost efficiency. His firm is bullish on Chinese tech, along with sector-specific companies that have strong proprietary data, a loyal user base, and are actively integrating AI into their operations.
