【文章预读】
China’s tech leaders love visiting California, and invest there, but are no longer awed by it. By market value the Middle Kingdom’s giants, Alibaba and Tencent, are in the same league as Alphabet and Facebook. New stars may float their shares in 2018-19, including Didi Chuxing (taxi rides), Ant Financial (payments) and Lufax (wealth management). China’s e-commerce sales are double America’s and the Chinese send 11 times more money by mobile phones than Americans, who still scribble cheques.
The venture-capital (VC) industry is booming. American visitors return from Beijing, Hangzhou and Shenzhen blown away by the entrepreneurial work ethic. Last year the government decreed that China would lead globally in artificial intelligence (AI) by 2030. The plan covers a startlingly vast range of activities, including developing smart cities and autonomous cars and setting global tech standards. Like Japanese industry in the 1960s, private Chinese firms take this “administrative guidance” seriously.

中国科技产业的领军人物很喜欢造访加州，还在那里投资，但是他们对这个地方不再心生敬畏。就市值来看，中国科技巨头阿里巴巴和腾讯与Alphabet和Facebook已在同一阵营。一些企业新星也许会在2018到2019年间上市，其中包括召车服务平台滴滴出行、提供支付服务的蚂蚁金服和提供财富管理服务的陆金所。中国的电子商务销售额是美国的两倍，中国人的移动支付总额是美国人的11倍——美国人到现在还在写支票。
awe v.惊叹，敬畏
giant n.巨头
Middle Kingdom 中国
league n.联盟
- in the same league 具备同样品质，同样出色
float v.上市
scribble v.瞎涂写
cheque n.支票

风投（VC）行业正在蓬勃发展。到访过北京、杭州和深圳的美国人被那里勤奋进取的创业精神深深折服。中国政府在去年制定规划，要在2030年成为人工智能（AI）领域的全球领导者。这项规划涵盖的内容包罗万象，有打造智能城市和开发自动驾驶汽车，还有设立全球科技标准。就像上世纪60年代的日本产业一样，中国私营企业高度重视这一“行政指导”。
