The US-China tech rivalry is no longer confined to the laboratories, fabs and boardrooms of the industry\u2019s biggest names \u2013 the artificial intelligence battlefield has now expanded into the capital markets, where ambition is priced in real time.<\/p>\n
As Washington and Beijing push rival technology ecosystems, initial public offerings and listings are becoming a high-stakes referendum on who gets funding, credibility and, most of all, the runway to scale.<\/p>\n
In the United States, investors are watching for potential debuts from some of the most closely followed private companies of the past decade, from OpenAI and Anthropic to Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX.<\/p>\n
Any listing by these companies would be a blockbuster, with fundraising potentially running into the tens of billions of dollars.<\/p>\n
In China, a growing roster of AI developers, chipmakers and \u201chard tech\u201d firms are moving towards listings in Hong Kong and on the mainland, as Beijing doubles down on technological self-reliance.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmid tighter investment rules and national-security concerns in the US, and China\u2019s self-reliance ambitions, capital markets are now part of broader industrial and technological competition,\u201d said Joel Cheung, Asia analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The US-China tech rivalry is no longer confined to the laboratories, fabs and boardrooms of the industry\u2019s biggest…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":260983,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[220,3673,218,219,576,2102,128230,125957,129258,2670,114,88473,240,61,228,60,1682,2306,80,90],"class_list":{"0":"post-260982","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-anthropic","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-artificialintelligence","12":"tag-asia","13":"tag-beijing","14":"tag-biren-technology","15":"tag-brainco","16":"tag-charu-chanana","17":"tag-chatgpt","18":"tag-china","19":"tag-cxmt","20":"tag-hong-kong","21":"tag-ie","22":"tag-ipo","23":"tag-ireland","24":"tag-openai","25":"tag-spacex","26":"tag-technology","27":"tag-us"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
