## Resource

Alibaba raised $10 billion in a share sale this week specifically to fund AI expansion, then immediately launched its Wan3.0 AI video model — a signal that Chinese tech giants are moving fast and spending big to compete with US rivals. We examine what this capital deployment means for the global AI arms race, competitive dynamics, and whether US investors should be paying closer attention to Chinese AI.
