Americans are measuring the wrong war and using the wrong scoreboard. For years, the U.S. China debate has focused on headlines: tariffs, diplomacy, and who invents the next breakthrough. But national power is built on something quieter and harder to rebuild: industrial ecosystems, supply-chain chokepoints, and the ability to scale technology into mass-market reality. This book makes a controversial argument and tests it with data: the United States has already lost key dimensions of the economic, trade, and technology contest with China, and the American public does not yet grasp how far ...

Digital twins or digital twin, as a concept, has been around for a while. Dr. Michael Grieves at the University of Michigan in the USA wrote about it in a white paper in 2002. NASA’s been long using digital twins for its space mission, as they (obviously) don’t have physical access to the equipment once it leaves our planet. Simulation and visualisation technologies have been in use for decades. Yet, digital twins didn’t capture the imagination of enterprises until recently. The proliferation of IoT (Internet of Things) devices, the ability to gather and manage big data, and the ...
