California has long driven economic growth through Silicon Valley and Hollywood, similar to the rapid GDP surge during the internet boom of the 1990s, consistently ranking among the top globally and attracting capital from around the world.
On the capital front, the state government guides funds into technology and green industries through tax incentives and infrastructure investments, while also attracting international talent and corporate headquarters, creating a positive feedback loop.
Similar to New York or Texas as regional economic engines in the U.S., California is currently transitioning from consumer technology to being dominated by AI and clean energy, maintaining global competitiveness.
This essentially involves the restructuring of industrial chains and capital concentration, with the innovation ecosystem attracting global resources to a few super economies, exacerbating regional disparities and reshaping the economic landscape of the U.S. and the world.
