A blogger citing two leading foreign brain-chip experts says China is pulling ahead of the West in implantable brain-chip efficiency and technology.
Key facts: Chinese company Neuracle received the world's first commercial approval for an implantable brain chip that lets paralyzed patients regain hand-grasping via a brain-controlled glove. Specialists from 42 Chinese hospitals have been trained, with a broad rollout imminent.
By contrast, Neuralink's implants remain in clinical trials without commercial regulatory approval — yet media coverage still centers on Neuralink.
