R&D today envolves lots and lots of data and man-hours. Scientists cant take data/documents when they leave the companies where they worked. Besides, individually they only worked a portion of the projects. No one knows everything. Only the company has all the data/knowledge.
Otherwise there would be already lots of GE´s, Siemens, Microsoft, etc.
Of course scientists always take their experience with them. But it will require a lot of effort (ex: china ) in order to replicate that R&D.
It is the USA, Europe, Japan that outsource tech, not china, índia or Rússia.
Russia is the largest producer of ICBM. To whom they will sell them? Rússia should build things that sell

in the case of jet engine design in mexico, GE is not the only company designing jet engines, ITP also design engines, in fact in Mexico, Goodrich also make engine parts and other companies do research too.

Mexico City,- The Spaniard company Industria de Turbo Propulsores (ITP) announced an investment in Mexico for US$160 million in a center devoted to design and manufacturing of low pressure turbines, to be located in Queretaro, in

Frisa Monterrey The company, which produces turbine structures, the project will provide parts for Japanese aircraft.

Monterrey won industry and, as a supplier, a Japanese aerospace ambitious project to manufacture a new aircraft model, the Mitsubishi Regional Jet, known as MRJ and will be released in 2013, said Herminio Blanco Mendoza.

This means, that in Mexico there is ample knowledge of how to make a jet engine, Frisa Aerospace a mexican company also designs parts for jet engines.

In all emerging markets there is not one but several companies doing design this means nations like China, India, Brazil or Russia will absorb enough technology to create engines or computers or what ever they want.

Thanks to internet geography does not play a big role so design now is international and B787 is an international project same the microprossesor made by Intel.

We are in an age where geography only limits the resources a country has but the technology is the way to exploit it.

1- North America =\= United States. Furthermore, the US itself did not achieve stability until only 100 or so years ago.

that would be about 140 years ago a ... few years after the end of the Civil War. And the US was considered a World power after the Spanish-American War in 1898.

i would say US, has ally in the north with alot resource and as buffer. no country in the south of US has any potential to be an enemy except cuba(too small with little power). US has plenty land for farm, fresh water, and other resources. access by sea from west, south, and east. decent population density.

Okay, now I understand why you think island nations are so uber. It's pretty clear from this statement that your arguments are based on pure fantasy.

Or too much reading the like of New York times or Gordon Chang prediction of the coming collapse of China that never materialized.

Why people have this unrealistic dream ? I just can guess. maybe irrational fear, prejudice that what is not invented here never work!

I have to disagree. The continent of America fell well behind everywhere else for much of the history. When the Europeans came to the Americas, the native population was still pretty much in Stone Age. Much of that was because of the continent's highly isolated geographical location. IMO, communication is THE most important factor in civilization. Much of the evolution in human civilization came from communication among various populations. The isolation prevented communication and impeded growth and development and kept people living on this continent in such a primitive stage for so long. In fact, that's why the US spends so much money and energy maintaining the communication with the world. People often ask why the US has to keep so much military presence. All this comes out of necessity. Without the military presence, the US might potentially go back to isolation and stop developing.

The best land location, IMO, is still the Euro-Asian continent.

i think the topic was best land/positioning. US has military presence all over the world is about superpower status. during 19th century, british did the same thing. canada is also on N.america continent.
in todays worlds, you can communicate anywhere in an instant provide if you have the proper device, and be in any place in the world within 24hrs. its not about isolation anymore, this is information age.
US or canada both has a good position with small population density, alot land, freash water, and other resource. both can access pacific and atlantic ocean.

It's the best way to get attention.
It also makes sense in economical sense, there are a lot of unsatisfied demand in the west for Chinese who speak out against the CPC, so people who offer this supply is treated extraordinarily well, I could name a few who received or were nominated for a certain honor...

Gordon Chang is not full blooded Chinese He is Mestizo. There is always market for this kind of propaganda. The western press like to hire these kind of people in order to make their propaganda somehow believable because it was penned by ethnic Chinese. But aren't they doing disservice to their reader because these people give distorted view of China?

But the reality is something else, China is getting stronger by the day and guess who is now in the dump?. You know it
