The US is falling behind China in technology

[rupol2000]

And at the same time, gasoline in China costs about a dollar per liter.
And the gasoline is probably shit

Here is another picture.

Built out of code and will collapse under the slightest earthquake.

 

[Wuwei]

It's a bullshit.

No, I did not. Because no matter what, China has yet to be an "Originator nation".

Built out of code and will collapse under the slightest earthquake

I hope you guys are right, that there is no problem. We'll see in the next decade where things are.

I hope you guys are right, that there is no problem. We'll see in the next decade where things are.

As I said, look at almost anything that originates there.

Hell, Alibaba is full of that kind of stuff.

Once again, simply look around for anything made by Chinese companies.

 

[TheParser]

Of course, China is pulling ahead technologically.

After all, we now live in a country where:

1. We are told that it is racist to say that 2x2 equals 4. We are told that it equals whatever someone says it equals.

2. We are told that teachers should no longer give out D's or Fail's, for it hurts students' feelings.

 

[Mac-7]

While the Right and Left are at each others throats with political quarreling and congress is sluggish on everything except trying to get reelected, the US is falling behind technologically.

Our interests in schooling seems to be centered on bickering about masks and vaccinations and dampened by too much bureaucracy and low teachers salaries. We should be doing what needs to be done to further US education.

China is vying to be the next top superpower and is on track of winning in a decade or so. What can we do?

Opinion | China Will Soon Lead the U.S. in Tech

Beijing pulls ahead in 5G and artificial intelligence, while catching up in semiconductors.

www.wsj.com

Last year China produced 50% of the world’s computers and mobile phones; the U.S. produced only 6%. China produces 70 solar panels for each one produced in the U.S., sells four times the number of electric vehicles, and has nine times as many 5G base stations, with network speeds five times as fast as American equivalents.​

​

China is poised to overtake the U.S. as the global leader in AI by 2030. U.S.-born students are earning roughly as many doctorates each year in AI-related fields as in 1990, while China is on track to graduate twice as many science, technology engineering and mathematics Ph.D.s as the U.S. by 2025. China now clearly tops the U.S. in practical AI applications, including facial recognition, voice recognition and fintech​

One of the issues the right and left are battling over is china

the left sees china a no big threat to America whereas the right believes strongly that china is our #1 enemy

so dont equate both sides as equally bad

That doesn't explain why your generation is so shitty at science and math.

Dems don't think America should be the lone super power...they have said as much....they work very hard to ensure that we aren't number one at anything other than stupidity.....

And you are a lying SOB. It is the you and the "Conservatives" that have fought every improvement to education. It is you and the other "Conservatives" that have denied science at every level, preferring the nonsense spewed by low education rightwingnut commentators on Faux News. It is you and the other "Conservatives" that have fought every new improvement in technology. You "Conservatives" are a blight on our nation. You tried to destroy our democracy on 6Jan21 in order to make a treasonous fat senile old orange clown the first American dictator.

 

[Colin norris]

China has been stealing and buying US tech since the Clinton Administration

Trump was the ONLY President to ever stand up to them

Yeah that worked well. His silly tariffs backfired when China reciprocated. The economy went into a downward spiral
When American exports then became uncompetitive.

But I love your reference to the Clinton era as if you have volumes of evidence to support your claim and hate.

We had people on TV telling us that 90 pound women beat the shit out of 200 pound former special forces people for years and decades. American women who are educated this way believe it. Costing so much more to train and be inferior also.

 

[Old Rocks]

It's hard to imagine what America's best choice on dealing with China should be.

Anti-China attempts to destroy China's economy aren't having the desired effect due to China taking precautions to diversify their markets and build for their own domestic consumption.

And friendly competition with China doesn't appear to be possible for so many obvious reasons.

And a third option of a hot war with China is full of pitfalls.

I can't think of another option but this thread provides a good opportunity for a rational discussion.

Can America just accept 2nd. place and do it's best with that? Would losing world superiority and the advantage of plunder of small country resources be too damaging to the US economy?
Please take that as a serious question and not an attempt to arouse emotions. China intends to plunder but not in the same accustomed way. Ask me.

Let this thread be a chance for serious discussion this time!

In order to compete, not only with China, but also the EU, we must create equal educational opportunity for all citizens. And we must encourage forward thinking businesses that are engaged in active innovation. This should not be a partisan effort.

Right now, the far right wing part of the GOP, the Trumpanzees are fighting every effort to modernize our educational system, and modernize our energy system. And President Biden committed a major piece of idiocy in crediting GM with the EV revolution, when GM did their best to destroy EV's after the success of their early test EV. The Democrats are on a tear demonizing very successful entrepreneurs, when they should be recognizing their successes, and then taxing them accordingly.

President Eisenhower knit the country together and increased economic activity with the infrastructure of the Interstate Highway System. Today, it is information that is the most important commodity. We already have a system being put into place by Starlink that can connect everyone on Earth to the internet. We need to make sure this is available to everyone in our nation while at the same time ensuring the profit that allows it continue growing.

Concerning energy, the single biggest roadblock to 100% renewables is lack of innovation and failure to put grids where the energy is. In innovation, Virtual Power Plants and the various methods of grid scale energy storage are not being pursued in a manner that is reasonable concerning their need.

In WW2, we needed a fighter plane with range and agility to counter the ME 109 and FW 190. We designed and built that plane in 157 days, and the English added the Merlin engine, and the P 51 became a premier fighter plane of WW2. A little ship yard in Vancouver, Washington was given the task of building Escort Carrier for our Navy. Between 1942 and the end of 1945, it built 50 of those, as well as numerous other wartime ships. We can still do feats like that, but it takes a 'can do' attitude, and our leadership, and all too many of our citizens, seem to be concentrating on 'Can't'.

If we want to remain the premier economic power, as well as hold our leadership position in other fields as well, we cannot accept 'good enough' any longer. Instead of sitting on our collective asses, and saying "why", we need to roll up our sleeves and say "Why Not!".

The far right should stop trying to put creationism in schools and clamoring about the nonissue of critical race theory. If they put all that zeal into STEM subjects we would be much further ahead
