China is about to make major bets on becoming the world leader in quantum computing and quantum telecommunications. They started by building the largest quantum computing research lab in the world devoted to developing quantum computers.
This on top to the massive effort in AI development you get the picture China is pushing to become the dominant world power. This is not developing a new nuclear weapon this could pose far greater problems for the US and the world then any single nuclear weapon. Quantum computing and AI could upend world powers in ways that no one could see coming and a greater threat then North Korea and any other nuclear power could pose.
I cannot overstate the seriousness of this danger to the world stage and the direct an dangerous threat this poses in world leadership. It could redraw the map of the world in terms of creating a new paragon shift and turns the world of science behind it by decades.
"China is building a $10 billion research center for quantum applications. This news comes on the heels of the world’s first video call made via quantum-encrypted communications and the completion of a quantum-encrypted fiber optic trunk cable. The National Laboratory for Quantum Information Sciences is slated to open in 2020 and has two major research goals: quantum metrology and building a quantum computer."

So, you really believe we aren't secretly looking into this too?
Really?
