It is far easier for countries like China and India to catch up on knowledge age technologies than to build industrial age infrastructure (which they are currently doing). The internet and ultra cheap communications make that possible. And the capital expense is trivial -- you basically need only human capital. Already companies like IBM are moving major parts of their basic research and development to China and India. China and India already graduate more engineers and scientists than the US, and their students' study and work habits are much better than those of US students. Don't be surprised if we lose our "knowldege age" advantage a lot faster than we lost our industrial age one.
