American Tech Leaves China, but What Will Stay?

American Tech is no longer necessary. The excerpt above explains the whole situation in just one sentence.
American Tech will be squeezed out of China by Chinese Tech, just like British Tech was squeezed out of Britain by US Tech, and European Tech was squeezed out of Europe by US tech.
There is no 'Natural Law' that says the World has to use US hardware and software, like the Intel-Windows-Google-Android environments, forever. In coming years the World is just as likely to change over to Chinese, Korean or Japanese hardware and software environments.
Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea are integrated into the Western world and, dare I say, feel Western in their outlook/orientation: capitalist, liberal, parliamentary democracies with free and fair elections fwiw. But, clearly, one cannot say the same about mainland China in the last instance. And because m. China has historically been self-reliant, has a massive population (equal to the US, Europe, Japan, Taiwan, and S. Korea combined, surely), has a history of innovation and trade, etc. … the so-called "West" sees itself at an impasse.
Fun times.
