Artificial Intelligence (AI), a cornerstone of 21st-century technology, hasseen remarkable growth in China. In this paper, we examine China's AIdevelopment process, demonstrating that it is characterized by rapid learningand differentiation, surpassing the export-oriented growth propelled by ForeignDirect Investment seen in earlier Asian industrializers.  Our data indicates that China currently leads the USA in the volume ofAI-related research papers. However, when we delve into the quality of thesepapers based on specific metrics, the USA retains a slight edge. Nevertheless,the pace and scale of China's AI development remain noteworthy.  We attribute China's accelerated AI progress to several factors, includingglobal trends favoring open access to algorithms and research papers,contributions from China's broad diaspora and returnees, and relatively laxdata protection policies.  In the vein of our research, we have developed a novel measure for gaugingChina's imitation of US research. Our analysis shows that by 2018, the time lagbetween China and the USA in addressing AI research topics had evaporated. Thisfinding suggests that China has effectively bridged a significant knowledge gapand could potentially be setting out on an independent research trajectory.  While this study compares China and the USA exclusively, it's important tonote that research collaborations between these two nations have resulted inmore highly cited work than those produced by either country independently.This underscores the power of international cooperation in driving scientificprogress in AI.

Has China caught up to the US in AI research? An exploration of mimetic isomorphism as a model for late industrializers
