The standard is substantial market presence and any exporter is inherently competitive (foreigners have no obligation to buy anything). That China can’t duplicate even half of euro area exports indicates that China is far from the technological frontier (and is what other evidence points to as well - low GDPPCs and F500 firms from China mostly being smokestack SOEs)
China is not facing mass migration nor its Universities are depended on foreigners. and there is another point the Fastest GDP growth in EU Poland is expecting $80b budget deficit next year. A country relying on transfer payments and buying weapons on loans.

No, he has learned from getting his accounts banned several times just how stupid he can get before being made to go away so he has actually toned down the stupid by a lot since he first came to the forum several usernames ago. He used to write things like, "The US will rule the world for now and until the sun burns out and the end of time and everything ceases to exist." Being stupid and wrong to a certain point is not against the rules and the mods are happy to come down on him but he's staying alive straddling that line. We're honestly nastier and more inflammatory than him but that's just because the combination of America's comparative decline and his child-level debate skills leaves so many targets open and China's superior performance provides so much ammo for us.

I think it's safe to say you've crossed the point of trolling when you tell someone that they are wrong about the composition of their university class that THEY ARE ATTENDING IN PERSON.

Semiconductor is ahead of EU overall. They only have EUV lithography but can't use it themselves. SMIC FinFET transistor densities are comparable with leading edge Intel processes.

Aerospace is ahead of EU in 3/4 categories: military, space and rocketry are ahead, civil is behind.

Pharmaceutical is behind but since Chinese life expectancy is only 2 years behind entire EU and ahead of many EU individual countries it doesn't seem to matter in the end.

And this is comparing with an entire continent of 700M people and all developed countries.
I was mostly comparing with US. EU is kinda irrelevant as far as top contender goes. No, EU are 450 mil.

Semiconductor: Advanced optics components by Germany's Zeiss and system integration by Netherland's ASML. No relevant fabs or chip designers.

Aerospace: airbus is civil market leader, mediocre elsewhere.

Pharmaceutical: good research, but I dont think they are relevant as far as product goes.

So only Airbus is relevant for competing China. I expect its dominance ends when C929 show up with CJ2000. Then China would be on par. I say give it 5 years or so.

Boeing is a zombie at this point, not a long term competitor.

I don't know what he was getting at in talking about minorities being less than the seem; we all argue with statistics anyway, now how many we think we see out of 100. But anecdotal evidence on how your class was composed can't be used and applied to the whole of the US. That should have been his reply to you but he's incompetent so he tried to say there were somehow less minorities than you counted personally because a survey showed that a group of Americans who thought that 30% of the country resided in NYC couldn't count right.

Also the US is completely irrelevant because the poster is in a university in Xian

Airbus/Euro copters are among the leaders in Civil Aviation. Europe is also ahead in business Jets.
Widebody certification takes way longer than one else. i would say parity in 15 years minimum if they can make flight with in 5 years. Europe has more institutional experience. the key is how to maintain such experience on such scale for generations.

US net international migration is net positive, including of investors and skilled professionals.

what’s particularly revealing is that during America’s industrialization - wealthy American businessmen were not all scrambling for the exits, looking to buy British property and German stocks; yet wealthy Chinese businessmen of all stripes and even upper-middle class Chinese families are all scrambling for foreign greencards, foreign real estate, foreign equities, and scrambling to migrate
During America's industrialization era, in the late 1800s to early 1900s, some of America's brightest weapons designers: Benjamin B. Hotchkiss, Hiram Maxim, and John Browning have all moved to Europe. Hotchkiss and Maxim setup their businesses in Europe, while Browning went to work for FN in his later life. It is quite ironic that the US Military had to import the Maxim Gun and its technology from Britain, when it was invented by an American-born person. So, things are not as clear cut for the US as you are describing it to be.

If China was actually on the technological frontier, it should be able to export every manufactured HS line also exported in at least the Euro Area
Europe prefers to buy HSR from their own firms, because they have already invested heavily in their development. That is why even the Japanese Shinkansen was not selected in Europe in the first place. How about the mighty USA? How many HSR lines have it exported to Europe or around the world? As of 2024, America has no operational HSR line with the benchmark 300km/h speed on its own soil.

If the mods won't ban Sleepybot34, then we have to all add him to the ignore list. He started polluting 1 thread, then his diarrhea spread everywhere on this forum, 90% of the last 10 pages is just responding to his nonsense. Responding to him is just helping to train the next Sleepybot35.
