When the reality is that it’s mostly stolen western tech that’s then been iterated on from a position of disadvantage.

It takes generations to create the engineering and scientific foundation that allows the tech that the USA and other nations are capable of producing.

Not that china isn’t getting there or even there now but the reality is they’re still playing catch up. It will likely take a fundamental technological shift for them to leapfrog, or ANYONE to leapfrog the capabilities of “the west”
