PALO ALTO, U.S. -- Despite U.S. President Donald Trump's hostility toward Chinese theft of American technology, and the tariffs he imposed on Friday, the reality at the forefront of technology and innovation is a deepening bond between American and Chinese developers and companies, one that cannot easily be cut off for political reasons.
Even with trade tensions building and Chinese tech companies like ZTE and Huawei Technologies embroiled in separate troubles with the U.S., companies and individuals on both sides of the Pacific increasingly rely on each other for technologies, funding and human resources in fields like artificial intelligence, forging complex and strong bonds.
