Have you seen what China has become in the past 2 decades? The technological growth and development is unlike anything ever seen in the history of mankind. Not only are you wrong. You are gravely wrong. The likelihood of China surpassing the US in the space race is actually quite high.

It's a technological shithole. Half their countries tech doesn't is not made based on proper rules and regulations. Resulting in poor performing and dangerous tech. The amount of accidents is astronomical and nobody seems to care. Most of their machines are direct copies of western equivalents. So no I am absolutely not impressed by their achievements.

You fail to see the magnitude of what occurred to china. Yes there's a market for cheap knock offs. But there's also the fact that how almost 90% of Americas manufacturing know-how has moved to china.

Also that USA is happily buying and paying for this stuff. Tells you more about the buyer than the seller. And which one is the smart one.
