What brilliant founders has the US produced in the last 10 years? Bugger all, except for Mark Zuckerberg, and a bunch who are not yet household names. China has only had a few years in which the average 20-something-year-old hacker had the resources to start a tech business. Even in China, many of the new tech businesses will not be famous yet.
Also, China's capital tends to be directed to "made-in-China" manufacturing, where they have a huge advantage. That leaves high-tech startups choked for funds. How many New York startups can you name really fast?
