re <<Does Google's Willow leave China's Tech in the dust?>>
... answer, indubitably, and must have faith, is likely "no". Guessing.
Google develops a Willow chip for 105-Qubits capability / capacity, whereas China developed a computer for 504 Qubits capability / capacity, and never mind that China is not yet matched in quantum communication ever since first thrown down the gauntlet 2016 by launch of Micius quantum communication satellite en.wikipedia.org and and and
given the number of teams China deploying in AI, quantum, and superconducting, unlikely that China will come in second at any time that matters, just mathematics, especially because there are Chinese working within the US programs, and guessing not the other way around
all the time with eyes on on-rushing 2026 (financial / monetary)TeoTwawKi, 2032 (econo-geostrategic) Darkest Interregnum, and 2042 (messy domestic civility) Demographic Flip, especially now that everybody EXCEPT China is so busily engaged with fruit-less to fruitless fighting shadows and that PRIVATE capitalism has taken over politics everywhere EXCEPT in China where STATE CAPITALISM co-exists with PRIVATE CAPITALISM to deliver on common prosperity and make good on shared destiny domestically and internationally along the Belt & Road and within BRICS+ ... so goes the narrative am told :0)))
2016 SI --- For decades, China appeared to be trailing behind or merely catching-up to the world’s two major space pioneers – the United States (US) and Russia – until this past August 2016, when China assumed its position as the world’s first country to launch a quantum satellite called “Micius.”
2021 --- China Telecom launches quantum encrypted phone calls on smartphones in a new pilot programme
With a special SIM card and app, some China Telecom smartphone users in Anhui province can make phone calls protected by quantum encryption
The race to develop quantum technology could both threaten traditional encryption and lead to new, more secure forms of cryptographyhave been watching the space for some time
