I'm not gonna quibble with the details of that wild exaggeration, but I hope we can agree China is absolutely not one of those countries.

If anything, we're lagging behind them.

Sure, in terms of infrastructure. Their military is still playing catch up and Venezuela and Iran both used Chinese defense tech.

China is good at reverse engineering - it's what they do, but temu tech isn't the same as the original.
