China’s ‘Fantastic Four’: the new breed of entrepreneurs reshaping the global tech landscape
A new generation of Chinese entrepreneurs, dubbed the "Fantastic Four," is playing a crucial role in reshaping the global technology landscape and bolstering China's competitive stance against the US. This group includes Liang Wenfeng of DeepSeek (AI), Wang Xingxing of Unitree Robotics, Zhang Yiming of ByteDance, and Wang Tao of DJI, all of whom are recognized for their innovative contributions to China's technological advancement.
These entrepreneurs represent a shift from the previous generation, who experienced greater economic hardship. Born after China's "reform and opening up," they benefited from a more liberal environment that encouraged private enterprise and prioritized science and technology education. Liang and Wang were even invited to a symposium led by President Xi Jinping, highlighting the government's recognition of their importance to China's future innovation.
