🔥 Guess who's leveling up in the tech world? China's rapidly narrowing the tech gap with the West, according to Microsoft's vice chair and president, Brad Smith. Speaking at the Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal, Smith highlighted how the Chinese mainland is \"in many ways\" catching up with the U.S. and Europe in technology.
\"I think one of the dangers, frankly, is that people who don't go to China too often assume that they're behind,\" Smith told CNBC. \"But when you go there, you're impressed by how much they're doing.\" 🌟
Smith believes that Chinese and American companies will continue to be tech rivals \"in the distant future.\" He encouraged U.S. and European companies to collaborate 💪 to boost economies and bring innovations like artificial intelligence to the global stage. 🌐
So, amigos, it's game on in the tech arena! 🎮 Stay tuned as these powerhouses push the boundaries of innovation. 🚀
