And China is prioritising next-generation battery and solar technologies, including perovskite tandem solar cells, which pair a perovskite layer with a conventional silicon cell to capture more sunlight and improve power-conversion efficiency.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/china-bets-on-chips-and-ai-in-new-5-year-road-map-to-challenge-us-tech-dominance", "canonical_source": "https://www.scmp.com/economy/global-economy/article/3367622/china-bets-chips-and-ai-new-5-year-road-map-challenge-us-tech-dominance?utm_source=rss_feed", "published_at": "2026-09-15 12:00:02+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-15 12:14:59.047375+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-policy", "ai-chips", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["China", "Ministry of Industry and Information Technology", "National Development and Reform Commission", "BeiDou", "Global Positioning System", "United States", "RISC-V", "Frank Chen"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/china-bets-on-chips-and-ai-in-new-5-year-road-map-to-challenge-us-tech-dominance", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/china-bets-on-chips-and-ai-in-new-5-year-road-map-to-challenge-us-tech-dominance.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/china-bets-on-chips-and-ai-in-new-5-year-road-map-to-challenge-us-tech-dominance.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/china-bets-on-chips-and-ai-in-new-5-year-road-map-to-challenge-us-tech-dominance.jsonld"}}
