The amount of invention and technological achievement developed in and by the US I would guess be an order of magnitude higher (at least, maybe 3) then any amount intellectual property theft from other nations in the 17-1800s.
I would not guess this to be true of China nor likely to become true for a very long time at least.
- mattmanser 7y agoIt's actually vastly accelerated this time around, China are already overtaking America as experts in certain fields. Because the Americans so helpfully moved all their manufacturing to China, they had to teach manufacturing and engineering to their Chinese workers to troubleshoot problems, and are now losing that ability themselves. Turns out when you're designing a product it useful to have practical manufacturing experience, which the Americans have lost.
