## Resource

China’s AI race is heating up as Moonshot’s new Kimi K3 model, now open-source, rivals top U.S. players like ChatGPT and Claude — a bold move that underscores Beijing’s tech ambitions despite U.S. restrictions. With President Xi pushing for global AI cooperation, Chinese firms like Zhipu and Huawei are rapidly scaling domestic capabilities, offering high-performance models at lower prices. While U.S. companies accuse China of tech theft, the open-source trend is sparking innovation — even as tensions rise in the global AI rivalry.
