China

5199 articles decelerating
China appears in 1,683 tech news articles since 2015, with coverage intensity rising sharply from 2018 onward as US-China tech decoupling accelerated. Coverage peaked in 2020-2021 during TikTok ban debates and Huawei sanctions, then sustained elevated levels through 2024-2025 as semiconductor export controls and AI development competition dominated headlines. The country co-appears most frequently with Apple (supply chain dependence), TikTok (geopolitical scrutiny), Huawei (sanctions regimes), and ByteDance (algorithm restrictions). The coverage arc reveals three coverage eras: 2015-2017 focused on market expansion (Chinese tech giants' growth, censorship mechanisms); 2018-2022 shifted to strategic competition (trade war, entity lists, chip manufacturing restrictions); 2023-2025 centers on decoupling acceleration (TSMC fab restrictions, AI model export controls, rare earth supply concerns). Recent articles emphasize China's AI progress (DeepSeek's surprising capabilities, Alibaba's Qwen models) and tech self-sufficiency efforts (SMIC advances despite equipment constraints). China's coverage density—averaging 140+ articles annually since 2020—reflects its dual role as both tech manufacturing hub and strategic competitor, with every major US tech policy decision now filtered through geopolitical implications.

China has appeared in 5,199 articles since 2014-12. Coverage peaked in 2025Q4 with 209 articles. Frequently mentioned alongside Chinese, Apple, U.S., Beijing.
