China trails the United States on research and development, but it is getting a phenomenal bang for its buck, says David Fickling for Bloomberg Opinion.
Yes, it was incredibly short sighted of the neoliberal “free market” Capitalist agenda to conduct their “race to the bottom” by sending vital manufacturing overseas.
That combined with privatisation and globalisation (and lots of unchecked corporate espionage done by China) has given awaysold every single technological advantage the western world had been developing since the Industrial Revolution.
Oh yes, this extremely outdated patent law that is getting abused every day in the US by the so called patent trolls. Shall I remind you that many of the technological advancements you enjoy today are indeed manufactured in Asia?
Or shall I break your heart by saying that if they have stayed in your beloved US it would have been considerably more expensive? And you know it is not that the US has not a proven track record of spying on anyone including their own allies. So think about when you try to preach next time, who has the moral high ground.

Literally nothing stopping us from collaborating rather than competing with China right now.
As Lenin wrote, “When it comes time to hang the capitalists, they will vie with each other for the rope contract.”
