PATENT WARS in DIGITAL ERA


China and the U.S. are competing to be the world's technological master 10 years from now.

U.S. President Donald Trump is becoming more cautious regarding increasingly competent Chinese companies as the world's two biggest economies battle it out over the future of technology.
