<div id="readability-page-1"><p>Neuralink, founded by Elon Musk, is helping spark a surge of brain-computer interface (BCI) development in China, where startups are moving quickly into human trials with strong state backing.</p>    <p>One of the most prominent is NeuroXess, which launched in 2021 and is already testing implants in patients.</p>    <p>Neuralink’s clinical work and public demonstrations have drawn worldwide attention to invasive brain implants that allow patients to control digital devices using their minds. The company is currently running a global clinical trial and is also busy preparing for its next product, Blindsight, which would restore vision to people with visual impairments.</p>    <p>Neuralink’s visibility has helped accelerate similar efforts in China. Beijing last year classified brain-computer interfaces as a strategic sector and issued a roadmap calling for two or three globally competitive companies by 2030, as per the <em>Financial Times</em>. Since February last year, at least 10 clinical trials for invasive brain chips have launched in the country.</p>    <p>NeuroXess recently reported that a paralyzed patient was able to control a computer cursor within five days of implantation. Founder Tiger Tao credited government support for helping shorten the path from research to trials.</p>    <p>Investment activity has followed the policy push. Industry data show dozens of financing rounds for Chinese BCI startups over the past year, reflecting rising capital interest in the field. Ultimately, while Neuralink remains one of the most closely watched players globally, its momentum has clearly energized competitors abroad.</p>

<p>Neuralink, founded by Elon Musk, is driving a surge in brain-computer interface (BCI) development in China, with startups like NeuroXess rapidly moving into human trials. NeuroXess, launched in 2021, is already testing implants in patients. China's government has classified BCIs as a strategic sector, aiming for globally competitive companies by 2030. Since February last year, at least 10 clinical trials for invasive brain chips have started in China, reflecting increased investment interest in the field. Neuralink's visibility has energized competitors, highlighting the global race in BCI technology.</p>
