China no match for US unicorns in AI, big data and robotics as it continues to play catch-up in R&D, says Credit Suisse
- China’s share of hi-tech unicorns of 14 per cent versus 40 per cent for the US has much to do with the country’s inadequate advanced R&D capability
- China accounts for almost 30 per cent of the world’s unicorns, which have an overall valuation of more than US$1 trillion
