Bros Fiat is Italian at birth. Don't know today. China is one copy copy country. Every country outsource, acquire resources from every part of the world. What makes America great is they do theirs the normal way while Chinese will want to steal it.

Check history up until date. People u find in Most American Labs are people of Austrian, German, Russian and Asian origin. They are called Americans when all is well, Chinese when the person decide to take what he/she invented. What u call American tech is mainly patent. Naim dem dey call "use their head". if u doubt me, check the origin of the owner or joint owners of all American tech companies from Facebook to Apple to Amazon to Tesla to Google to Yahoo.... Immigrants

will u kip kwayet... the reason US will always be ahead of China & Russia is for one single reason, diversity. these so called competitors don't allow people from other races or immigrants to obtain citizenship or work in the top echelons of their tech companies. if China is so good, why are they trying to buy up almost all tech companies in silicon valley. Donald Trump has stopped that from continuing. show me 1 invention originally attributed to the Chinese apart from abacus. when u talk about invention, don't call China. call China if ure talking abt stealing secrets.

why do you think China's phone giant ZTE is fighting so the US can lift the ban on the company. It's because it depends heavily on the US equipment to make their products. If China is so advanced as you say, ZTE would never agree to pay a fine of over $1 billion in the US. They'll just go ahead and get accessories from China and continue their production.
I don't agree with you. I believe it is the patronage/customer base in the US which would amount to a large chunk of their profit that is the reason they agreed to pay the fine not that they rely on US equipment.

A former Apple staff has been arrested on charges of stealing self-driving car technology from Apple and sharing trade secrets to a Chinese electric vehicle company called Xpeng Motors. He was arrested on July 7 at the security checkpoint at San Jose International Airport on the way to board a “last-minute” flight to Hangzhou, China. This is coming during the peak of a heated trade war between the United States and China.



The U.S. federal prosecutors accused the ex-Apple hardware engineer, Xiaolang Zhang, of copying over 40 GB of Apple intellectual property to his wife’s laptop before submitting his resignation letter and leaving Apple in April to work for Xpeng Motors in China. According to Reuters, the downloaded data includes a 25-page secret blueprint of a circuit board for a self-driving car, which investigators say “serves as the basis for the instant criminal charge.”



He took paternity leave in April 2018, and traveled to China, but was flagged for suspicious behavior when his supervisor discovered that he ran extensive searches of secret databases and returned to Apple’s campus on April 28, at a time when he was still supposed to be in China for paternity leave. On April 30, Zhang resigned from Apple to work for Xpeng Motors in China, guess he was more loyal to his country than he was to the Biggest Tech company in the world.

On June 27, the FBI questioned Zhang and served a search warrant at his house. Agents later learned that Zhang purchased a “last-minute” ticket to China for July 7, on which day he was arrested. He faces lengthy prison time if convicted and at the same time puts other Chinese workers in America in bad position because US president Trump have accused China of stealing American technology. Guess this arrest have proved him right.

China can rival US maybe in 10 years time but not right now. That doesn't mean China is not doing well technologically

Won't happen.. USA isn't staying still: waiting for anyone to catch up.

Only Nigeria and a few others are doing moon walk thinking they are moving forward.

I agree that China is advanced in technology. However: USA have the world's fastest super computer with over 200 Teraflops of information processing per second. Her name is Summit.

The previous world record was China: at 90 Tp/sec. Name sounds like: Tai-Hao
