Everyone ends up touting the same set of Chinese corporates - BYD, CRRC, Huawei, occasionally SMIC - as evidence of China being on the technological frontier (with most every other Chinese corporate struggling with a bevy of nonfunctional requirements - yield, reliability, scale, price, etc) but if anything, it just indicates how very thin China’s technological capabilities are - in that everyone ends up referencing precious few sectors - 5G, EVs, green energy, and maybe a few others as to where China is leading compared to the tens of thousands of product lines and hundreds of high-tech sectors existent
because there's no need to mention things like the entire wind, photovoltaic, nuclear, battery, display or shipbuilding industries. No need to kick down.

He'll say, "Yeah, you guys together just named like 10. America leads in thousands of areas," virtually all of which are either unnamed, mischaracterized as American advantages when they are not, or unimportant. And he doesn't realize that dominance in most of the few key sectors (which China is focused on) with competence in others is enough to win the tech war overall.

Aannd yup, he just cited an 88 page paper he didn't read which vaguely highlights how America is a technologically advanced country but makes no comparisions with China. Lazy useless cop out crap. This, by the way, is its conclusion on page 61 (or 63/88), far more fearful than his claims of "advantages that will last for decades to come":

"the advanced industries sector—that is at once critical to national wellbeing and under pressure from eroding competitiveness and national economic drift. In some regions, the sector is deep, vibrant, and globally competitive. In others, the sector has been hollowing out."

The thing is that for example in term of semiconductor manufacturing equipment what the US produce has been the easiest for China to replace, even metrology that was suppose this area were KLA was like ASML, China progress in that area has been nothing but amazing, US companies may have the scale for now but not for long. The tech that people throw now and then is lithography but that is mainly a European and Japanese technology, they US lost that monopoly long ago.
Then you have Apple that have not innovate nothing since steve job death.
Nvidia that got to top because their stupid Cuda software stack
Intel compensating decades of stupid decisions trying to enter pure play business and as now failing miserable, I don't think they can't even compete with SMIC even with EUV let alone TSMC.
Then Tesla that without the protection of stooges tariff would get absolutely eaten by BYD.
Even something as trivial as games you see Asian games dominating because US and Western gaming studios are producing subpar games filled with woke politics and developed by gendered confuse individuals.

China is not a “peer-level competitor” to the US in any aspect and will not be for at least another 1-2 decades
No country will ever be a peer level competitor to the... U.S (what is it? Short form of something?)

I mean ,where on multiverse we would find another nation where people are so...uhmm.....open?
They are so attached to....sharing, swapping...understanding the pain of each others. I mean they are so diverse that they are always ready to be attached to private parts of each other in public places. :eek::eek:

They crave for privacy while broadcasting themselves to the whole world in 4k resolution.....

They also think someone is trying to steal their intellectual properties, which is a bit weird..i must admit...because we can see their inter-actual properties in various websites in high definitions every hour..

The values they have are... uncredible!!! The level of economic participation of the people is amazing. No where on earth we can find such innovative ways to participate in economy!!! They have convinced us of their interracial harmony in many ways .... :eek:

I have a vision that, the total nation of US should be mummified and put on museum display, so in distant future when aliens make a visit here, we can tell them proudly...

once we had a nation...which totally....was a thing... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I read it as, in a decade's time China's finished anyway for X,Y,Z reasons so I don't need to cash in any checks.
When someone says X is a threat in 20 years, more likely they don't really mean it. It's just a throwaway line void of any meaning because it's not a reasoned argument or calculation and everything is arbitrary.

Except when 20 years suddenly becomes 5 years, they'll find another excuse.

In 1999, I was buying a small hammer in LA at Pic 'N' Save, and I overheard a father tell his son that China made quality goods. It made me very proud, and I still have the hammer.
I'm proud to see that it's now an American executive saying these words.
China have been making quality goods for a long time already. They can produce exceptional quality once they have mastered a craft. The Chinese's ability to make quality goods is not a new phenomenon, it a return to the way things were.

One fine example is the Sword of Guojian:
20230208_Bronze_sword_used_by_King_Goujian_of_Yue_01.jpg
It is bronze sword made over 2000 years ago, centuries before the birth of Christ. The blade is practically almost in it's original state and it's edge is still sharp. It's scabbard kept the blade almost hermetically sealed in underground water for over 2000 years.
