Just a few years ago, the US was alone at the front of the AI race. But today, China's making newsworthy achievements nearly every week. In July, the Trump administration shockingly agreed to let China buy advanced chips, helping China do even more. So how is China making so much progress? Why is Trump helping them? And is the US losing its lead in the world's most important tech race?
