The relation is your attitude. You pander and excuse US failures and badmouth Chinese successes. You can puff America all you like, but understand that your double standards aren't fooling or impressing anybody here.

On a broader scale, China is already spending more on technology R&D than the US in PPP Terms. See below.

Plus Chinese R&D spending is still growing much faster. An old chart from 2017 (5 years ago) is shown below. It's now 2022.
Wtf . How did you get such an impression?
I am saying about the comment made made by the trade association member. Of course I know that both nio and xpeng will be strong competitors.
Funding is a lagging indicator. It will be 5-10 years for China's output to match where its spending was. The Nature Index shows that USA is still ahead of China, but the gap is closing.
China will pass the US at some point in this decade, and once it does it is unlikely that USA will ever regain the crown. In some areas (e.g. hypersonic missiles) it's already ahead. So this discussion is moot, but we're talking about an inevitability. Dating it to an exact year is meaningless. Denying it will happen is irrelevant.

What's cowardly is Facebook didn't want to be linked to this campaign. Now China has a legitimate reason to target Facebook. Kiss whatever worldwide plans they had in the future goodbye.

I'm not into internet social media platforms. I joined Facebook under a fake name only to see stuff they said was only available in Facebook. Other than that I never saw the appeal. When they said Facebook was at fault for the 2016 election because a large percentage of Americans got their news from Facebook. I said where? When I look at my Facebook page I didn't see a page on the menu to read the news. All I see is that little section on the page where it show a few headlines to click to see the article. Is that it? Americans get their news from that? It just shows you how much I don't know about internet social media. Tiktok... I haven't joined. The only Tiktok stuff I get exposed to is if it's mentioned in news articles I read. But seeing the video above I have to applaud their innovation. The West is angry because it's more innovative than what they can come up with. You know why the West is so worried? It's because it counters the racist belief that they're individuals while everyone else is acting on instinct like an animal. That's why you'll hear from them how certain races are more prone to things like violence or being less intelligent because it's genetic to them. If Tiktok can figure people out on what they want or like to see, that says to someone who thinks they're an individual that they're really not. And that gets them angry about Tiktok because someone has them figured out. That's why when you argue with them, they get offended if you make a generalization about them but they all the time make generalizations about you.
On a side note anywhere on the internet where I type out "Tiktok" I get a spell correction error. Facebook wasn't a word until Facebook became big. No spell correction red underline today. Tiktok is big these days and still getting the red underline. That shows you the denial of the West how Tiktok is a word, aka acknowledgement of its existence, these days.
