I up-voted you, even though we disagree a bit. A friend went to work in Hong Kong years ago because it was easier to get long term AI research money than in the USA. I think he is still happy with the support that he gets.
A little off topic: here in the USA, every medium and large company seems to be morphing into an 'AI company' which I think is generally a good thing since individually they can all take advantage of control over their own application stacks and data sources. Many people concentrate on the advantages of huge companies like Google/Microsoft/Facebook in AI development, but there is plenty of opportunity for smaller companies to enhance their own systems with machine learning.
