you mean decades of believing in western exceptionalism wasn’t enough to pull the US up by their bootstraps and keep them in the lead?
Ugh. Clickbait headline again. They were flabbergasted at the sophistication of Chinese factories - at least those they were allowed to see.
The middle west being terrified of anyone doing better than them is literally the reason they’re falling behind by every measure on that shithole island
Inb4 China-bad slop from the usual suspects.
From a quick scan of the article I’d say it’s not as much “china-bad” as china is doing better than us now and we can’t keep up.
Whenever there’s a story about China doing better, they typically explain how it’s all bullshit, or go for the but-at-what-cost line of attack.
That won’t stop the propaganda bots and those who believe them.
