Senior executive of Chinese biotech giant argues U.S.-led tech controls have exposed China's vulnerabilities, yet says Beijing must remain open & aim to move beyond a follower role in global science.
Mr. Yonghong sounds like a very bright man. I hope China can transfer technologies that benefit Africa too but feel the need to add that the West has done so for a very long time. Sometimes people in China, and I did not see it in this article, spout nonsense about how the west has kept Africa down.
Africa has improved by a huge amount. One would always like to see more progress and if China can assist in some way, it is difficult to argue it is a bad thing unless it worsens corruption which I fear might be the case.
As for decoupling, it is probably in the long term interests of everyone that it take place over time. Hate to see it, but that is what I think is best.
