The U.S. technological hegemony is in the countdown stage, and the last straw that breaks the camel’s back is not China, but Russia. Is it beyond your expectation?

China and Russia collaborated to successfully test quantum encrypted communications. Mainland online media said, “China and Russia will build a strong shield in the field of network communications, and the United States will lose the opportunity to control information, and its global leadership and security interests will be far worse than before.” Russian experts said, Quantum technology can become a new area for closer cooperation among BRICS countries and break the dilemma of Russia being sanctioned by the Western scientific community. Western analysts point out that China and Russia are trying to join forces to build a quantum communication network to isolate the United States from its Western allies.
The West believes that “this shows that the cohesion between authoritarian countries such as China and Russia is increasing and that they are strengthening cooperation, especially in the information field.” In fact, which countries are more authoritarian than the technological hegemony group headed by the United States? It frequently imposes unilateral sanctions on its opponents without providing any reasonable explanation. It does not just throw out “national security” but uses “democracy vs. autocracy” as an excuse to do whatever it wants. China and Russia are both victims of the US’s technological hegemony.
Silicon Valley has dominated the world for more than half a century. After the U.S. space program caught up with the Soviet bloc, Silicon Valley’s semiconductor technology breakthroughs followed. In 1965, “Moore’s Law” was proposed: the number of transistors that can be accommodated on a chip will increase every year and a half. Doubling means that the computing power of computers doubles every 18 to 24 months if the price remains unchanged. Since then, technological development has made great strides. In the past few decades, the emergence of personal computers, the Internet, and smartphones are all continuations of Moore’s Law. However, physics limits the number of transistors that can be packed into a chip. Experts say that Moore’s Law will peak in 2020 and is currently in a “dying” state.
Chip technology must change, and the next generation of technology will be quantum. Quantum is a physical phenomenon in the microscopic world. The biggest difference between quantum and atoms in the macroscopic world is that quantum has the ability to “doppelganger” – academically called it “quantum entanglement”. There is no similar phenomenon in the macroscopic world. If you can effectively control the “quantum entanglement” phenomenon, you can obtain incomparable energy and create magical technologies in the future. In addition to quantum communications that are impossible to decipher and eavesdrop, it takes one second to calculate the quantum information that would take a traditional computer 10,000 years. Counting machines have also begun to enter the practical stage.
China will stand on the same starting line as the United States on the new track of quantum technology. Anhui Provincial Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center recently announced the launch of the third-generation independent superconducting quantum chip “Wukong Core”. It is named Wukong because the chip has 72 superconducting qubits, just like Sun Wukong’s 72 transformations. The name implies its power. computing power and potential.
Additional information: Qubits are qubits, and quantum computers also use 0 and 1, but the difference is that qubits are 0 and 1 and can be calculated at the same time. This is the “Superposition”. Due to the parallel processing and calculation of “0 and 1 at the same time”, it can handle more tasks at the same time than traditional computers and solve problems countless times faster.
American experts are not so optimistic regarding China, saying that “in the field of quantum computing, China still lags behind the United States.” “If the United States decides to make quantum communications a priority for research and development, we will easily catch up with China.” The United States may still have an advantage in quantum technology, but Sun Wukong’s tipping fight is not exciting enough. Russia can break the situation by jumping in.
There is nothing surprising. One plus one is greater than two. This is not a mathematical problem, but a synergistic effect. The prospects for China-Russia cooperation are worth watching.
