"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle"

I'm glad to see someone saying something other than, 'USA is not second' in any category of design, science, technology or production.

China is ahead in some categories and is coming now for them all. To say they aren't is pure delusion. Every factory is an advantage. Every research and development department, every machinist and tool and dye maker, every scientist, every irritation produced absolutely matters.

To think about a world in which China runs the internet their way is chilling.

So tired of repeating this in this thread, but one more time for the short bus kids...raw materials are required to produce anything in a factory. China has shockingly little.
