Technology leadership should foster cooperation rather than competition, according to The Asian Banker's Chairman Emmanuel Daniel. In a recent interview with CGTN, Daniel emphasized that US economic growth requires partnerships with nations like China, particularly in navigating rapid technological advancements. "Nations must learn from each other to thrive in the evolving tech landscape," he stated, rejecting zero-sum approaches to innovation.
The remarks come as China and the US prepare for high-level economic and trade talks in France from March 14 to 17, 2026. The Chinese Commerce Ministry confirmed the meeting last Friday, signaling potential progress in cross-border collaboration. Observers note that these discussions could shape critical standards in artificial intelligence, green energy, and digital infrastructure development across Asia and beyond.
