They’ll likely have a better chance of pulling it off than America’s push to “delete China”.

having basic competence helps with that
In which case… they’re both screwed.
China's got plenty demonstrated competence across the board. From lifting people out of poverty, to making large scale infrastructure projects, and now leading the way in green energy transition.
lifting people out of poverty
AKA creating even higher levels of inequality than usa.
wake me up when things like this start happening in usa https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2022/04/01/lifting-800-million-people-out-of-poverty-new-report-looks-at-lessons-from-china-s-experience
That fair. American try to do the same. They have exported all their technology knowledge to china though. Which may be a dumb idea. But just think of the shareholders !!!!
The goal is to overhaul and replace everything by 2027. It’s crazy to think how much technological progress will be gained and lost in that short span of time.
I expect that much more will be gained than lost in the process. China has been doing huge investments into open source because that makes more sense than starting from scratch. So, what we're going to see is a lot of proprietary software being replaced with open alternatives.
China's use of opensource isn't exactly in the spirit of open-source though, is it?
As an example, most companies in China don't even release the linux kernel source code after they modify it, as they are required by GPL.
So they're building mega-corps on the back of opensource, just like the western counterparts. That's capitalism 101.
Chinese companies release plenty of open source in practice. Meanwhile, cooperatively owned companies like Huawei are nothing like western capitalism.
