Technology in China is still by and large imported / copied.
When I visited China, I felt like I was in the future. We have fallen behind, and we literarily have shipped the "Arsenal of Democracy" to China. Their airports are bigger and better, the high speed rail was amazing, and the subway system was simple to navigate.
China has innovated in important ways - they have beat us to 5G, and they have weapons systems that could take out our best aircraft carriers and satellites.
Who gives a damn if their infrastructure is new and modern? Was that technology developed in China? It's possible, but I doubt it.
And what kind of visit was this where you were inspecting their weapon systems, and ascertained that they could take out the best of what the American military has, based on some knowledge of military technology you magically have?
and ascertained that they could take out the best of what the American military has, based on some knowledge of military technology you magically have?
Technology still works even if it's copied. Don't confusing "copying" with "only copying".
Modern US tech is in large part created by Chinese emigrants and their children. Do you think every technologist emigrated?
Infrastructure is a sign of a healthy economy and capability to build a war machine.
