Analysts noted that both sides have attached increasing importance to developing AI – which could have a profound impact on their economic and power balance – and that recent developments could be just the start of a rivalry that is fast heating up.

Experts say this is just the start
- Rivalry in the emerging field is expected to intensify, against a backdrop of heightened tensions and distrust
- But some observers say there are areas where the powers can cooperate, including on policy questions and safety

US raises alarm as Chinese platform corners market on global shipping logistics
- Warnings that Beijing could ‘gain access to and control massive amounts of sensitive’ data, including the commercial transport of US military cargo
- Logink, overseen by China’s transport ministry, collects information on shipping and cargo movement worldwide and provides free tracking and data management

US lawmakers and experts in the field are raising alarms about China’s dominance in accessing and managing global shipping logistics and data, describing such control as a security risk and “a recipe for disaster”.
The latest in a series of warnings is a report published in July by the Brookings Institution, a Washington-based think tank. The research highlights the Chinese commercial logistics platform Logink, which collects information on shipping and cargo movement worldwide and provides tracking, data management and other services free of charge.
Logink, which describes itself as a “one-stop logistics information service platform”, began as a provincial program in China in 2007. It became part of a regional network in northeast Asia in 2010 and a global platform after 2014.
