The rate of technological progress in China is absolutely mind boggling, renewables, EVs, chips, robotics, etc. All of these things are advancing at a breakneck pace, and all of them are self reinforcing.

That seems unavoidable at this point.
Pretty much, the proof that China is advancing faster lies in catching up to the west in the first place.
