"In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the United States and the Soviet Union were
locked in a race for technological and ideological supremacy.
The Cold War was still in its early years and each side was intently focused on
the other’s scientific and military progress. The US believed it was firmly in
front.
So the Americans were caught almost completely off guard in October 1957, when
the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik-1, the world’s first ever
artificial satellite, into orbit.
Today, the US is locked in competition with a different superpower: China. In
recent years, China has given the world some surprise breakthroughs of its own
– from advanced hypersonic missiles to cutting-edge computer chips and powerful
artificial intelligence (AI) models.
The question is, how did China get there – and what can other countries like
Australia learn from it?"
