Inside China Tech: Talking to people in China’s Silicon Valley in the midst of the tech war
China’s Silicon Valley caught in crossfire of tech war as country’s most advanced technologies, from AI to drones and robotics, being developed in the area
The Yue Hai district of Shenzhen is home to some of China’s biggest names in technology, including social media giant Tencent, telecoms maker ZTE and drone giant DJI.
