From the American side I mostly just see a huge emphasis on quantum computing, which is cool, but idk exactly how practical it is at scale, which is how things really affect industry. Like, you can have a quantum computer that is 3000 times more powerful than the next best one, but if you only have one of them and it is privately owned, the expense to run anything on it is going to be astronomical, which will place it outside the use case for most scientific endeavors.

China's been investing in quantum computing quite a bit as well. The thing with quantum computing is that it's only useful for a specific set of problems.
