What's missing from this coverage is a comprehensive analysis of the broader implications of the AI race and financial competition, including perspectives from international experts or data on technological advancements in both countries. This absence may reflect a blind spot in the lean-right narratives, which focus on U.S. successes while downplaying the complexities of the competition.
