It is a logical fallacy to think of America as in competition with China for "technological hegemony". We are all humans, and should work to share knowledge with each other. It is true that manufacturing has become cheaper to do in China. This may or may not be a passing phase, just as manufacturing used to be done in Japan in the 80's. To think that we as a continent need to be "better" than China in some competitive respect, or worse still, "hold back" China, is utterly stupid. This view creates a notion of a zero-sum game out of something that clearly benefits everyone, has positive externalities. Who among us has not ordered a component from alibaba? And many of us hold Chinese equities in ADRs, or vice-versa.
