It requires fundamental changes in how tech companies think about product-market fit, commercialization strategy, and organizational capabilities. ## The Valuation Trap For years, Chinese tech companies were rewarded for technical milestones. Breakthroughs in AI, quantum computing, or autonomous driving could attract hundreds of millions in funding before a single revenue dollar was earned. The underlying assumption: superior technology would inevitably find commercial applications. This logic has collapsed on multiple fronts. Some technologies proved to be solutions in search of problems. Others faced regulatory headwinds that made their intended business models unviable.
