As Western governments make it harder for China to access sensitive technologies—a trend expected to continue under the administration of President-elect Donald Trump—many Chinese companies are trying to get ahead by luring away top engineers in areas such as advanced semiconductors and artificial intelligence.

Hopefully the wsj made up the part about AI. They would do more harm to China than good

Chinese capitalists are just as prone to bullshit as western ones. Chinese government might reign it in but they are slow to react.

It depends on what they mean by "AI"

It's a shitty marketing buzzword so it can mean anything from algorithmic logic to LLMs. Not all "AI" requires it's own nuclear power plant and a Great Lake to operate.
