US risks ceding tech leadership to China: Telegram CEO on DeepSeek

Speaking on Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov said that US risks ceding tech leadership to China. He said China's success in AI came from its Soviet-style and competitive education system, unlike the West's approach that hides grades to protect feelings. "Unless US...education system undergoes radical reform, China's growing dominance in technology seems inevitable," he said.
