China, and South Korea, Japan, etc, are advanced way beyond us as regards technology. That is an utterly insane claim.
Per AI:
The United States leads the world in technology, driven by its innovation hubs like Silicon Valley, massive R&D investment, and dominance in fields like AI, software, and semiconductors. Companies like Apple, Google, and Nvidia, along with top-tier universities and a robust venture capital ecosystem, give it an edge. China is a close second, excelling in areas like 5G, AI deployment, and manufacturing scale, but the U.S. maintains a broader lead in cutting-edge innovation and global influence. Other contenders like South Korea and Japan are strong in specific sectors (e.g., semiconductors and robotics), but none match the U.S.'s overall technological dominance. |
