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.
China is playing catch-up in nearly every ICT subsector but okay. Clearly, China’s focus on 5G, HSR, EVs, green/non-fossil energy, FPDs has caused it to cower Taiwan into submission lol. The dead giveaway here is that everyone compares against a rotating villain of random U.S. cap goods companies (learned only in response to U.S. policy actions) - be it Qualcomm or Applied Materials or KLA or whatnot and the proceeding to ignore the thousands of other U.S. capgood companies leading in market segments without substantial media coverage - quieter companies like Verisign (networking software), Covestro (agricultural chemicals), AutoDesk (CAD/CAM software), and what have you.
Aand 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.
Yeah main point was the list
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."
This is fallacious. Just because things aren’t perfectly ideal in the U.S. doesn’t make China ipso facto better than the U.S. lol

You only have to look at the marked locations of sunken vessels found with Song and Ming-era porcelain products to see how Chinese goods were globally desirable even before the concept of globalization arose.
Chinese porcelain was probably one of the early examples of commercial globalization
By the Ming, European traders were already commissioning pieces in European designs rather than Asian motifs.

Go through any Art Gallery or Museum with Ming porcelain and you will see this.
Chinese porcelain also dominated the Middle East and SEA trade as well, ie. pieces with Arabic inscriptions, or locations in SEA.

What they sell:
The western democracy and freedom is the enlightenment where people are free to discuss and propel humanity to a higher level plane.

Reality:

I was recently blocked from "Hong Kong FREE Press" when i noted that they and the editor Tom Grundy were fine when anti-gov people were doxing and beating up pro-gov people in Hong Kong while they are now complaing about getting "special attention"

because there's no need to mention things like the entire wind, photovoltaic, nuclear, battery, display or shipbuilding industries. No need to kick down.
What's interesting is that battery technology leadership actually started from mining.
High Pressure Acid Leaching is what drove Ni prices down to enable the low cost of batteries

What is interesting is that this technology was tried by Western companies at a smaller scale, but they could not make it work
~20 years ago, New Caledonia was at the forefront of these HPAL nickel projects. However, it has been eclipsed by the Chinese-Indonesian production and now they are shutting down mines there.

Biggest one off the top of my head is a Chinese runaway in 5G. I named that because it's not my field and it's literally the only one that comes to mind. I have doubts on your every claim due to your history of being consistently proven wrong so go ahead and cite where exactly the US leads China in ICT and I'll check if it's true and what areas China responds in.
Clearly, China’s focus on 5G, HSR, EVs, green/non-fossil energy, FPDs has caused it to cower Taiwan into submission lol.
What a retarded troll thing to say. Clearly, you have no idea why things are done LOL. Those sectors are to improve the lives of Chinese people and our comprehensive national power. Taiwan will not be cowered ito submission until China's overall strength reaches a threshold where American intervention is no longer credible.
The dead giveaway here is that everyone compares against a rotating villain of random U.S. cap goods companies (learned only in response to U.S. policy actions) - be it Qualcomm or Applied Materials or KLA or whatnot and the proceeding to ignore the thousands of other U.S. capgood companies leading in market segments without substantial media coverage - quieter companies like Verisign (networking software), Covestro (agricultural chemicals), AutoDesk (CAD/CAM software), and what have you.
Well, you just said you don't want a list because you have your imaginary thousands of fields. Everybody here is listing them like you are now, which you ironically said implies that the lister is seeking exceptions to the rule. Well, I gave you the big picture: you're ass is grass in the tech war. No path, no chance of victory, which you'd expect if you truly had such a technological lead. And the sad thing is, it's not even China vs USA; it's China vs USA+the West+Japan/Korea and you still have no chance. You are truly below peer to China.
Yeah main point was the list
Yeah in which case, you would cite the exact page. And why does it matter? There are no comparisons to China.
This is fallacious.
Your source is fallacious and fails to prove anything you said.
Just because things aren’t perfectly ideal in the U.S. doesn’t make China ipso facto better than the U.S. lol
No, you said that the US tech advantages that would endure for decades; this shows many of them eroding already, being hollowed as, as they say LOL. One by one, China's coming for your little piggies.

Chinese cooking is traditionally not as precise as Western cooking and the amount of salt/other condiments or how long something could be cooked is often decided on a whim based on the chef’s experience. That, coupled with stigma against Chinese incorporating “taboo” ingredients in the dishes, probably limited its influence.

I have a feeling it might be related to portion sizes as well. Chinese restaurants tend to have decent size dishes amidst the shrinkflation, inflation, and greedflation mess. Why bother getting a shitty fast food meal that is also shrinking at the same meal price of a local restaurant.
