On April 25th, Chinese company Beijing Xinzhida Neurotechnology unveiled its own brain-computer interface (BCI) called Neucyber, which has been used to give a monkey control over a robotic arm [h/t Reuters].
Xinzhida Neurotechnology is backed by the Chinese Community Party, but considering existing reports of less-invasive brain interfaces than Neuralink, it's not unlikely that Chinese researchers could develop a Neuralink-adjacent brain implant.
