   To me, the funniest part is that they pretend reaching superintelligence will somehow fix everything and make them win. But from what I can see, even if they do reach it, then what? What will that actually do? They don't have the manufacturing capacity to even use that intelligence. It will take decades to go from superintelligence to having the manufacturing capacity and the hardware, like robots, needed to make it truly useful. If I were China, as soon as the US reached superintelligence, I'd ban all exports of robots and the raw materials to build them.

      You can very quickly start trying different drug candidates, solving some major problems, that benefit everyone and would be in China's mutual interest as well.

      And this is all with nonoffensive use of superintelligence.

         but the drug manufacturing is in China

            China is not the only place in the world that manufactures drugs, and also, why would China be opposed to manufacturing the cure for cancer?
