Read previewChina has bold ambitions to develop its own brain-computer products by 2025.
The MIIT said it wants to achieve breakthroughs in hundreds of technologies by creating "iconic products" by 2025, and it includes making brain-computer interfaces like Elon Musk's Neuralink implant.
China has been actively working on creating brain-computer interface devices in recent years, including ones that can rival Neuralink.
