    is there anything at all the US is winning these days?

    • @daShadoSage

      December 19, 2025 at 4:22 pm

      Lol just about everything still. Everything is fear mongering to cut regulations, let companies raise your electricity prices so they can build data centers in your neighborhood, raise more money from investors and government, and call everything national security concern so they can be subsidized and be considered “too big to fail.”

      China is winning in a few areas such as overall cheap manufacturing, EVs, rare earth minerals, battery tech, and solar. But just about every where else, US is leading. Either by a little or by a lot

      Just listen to exactly what they’re saying and how they’re saying it “What’s at stake,” hyping up quantum, etc. And what they’re not saying

      We have more billionaires than anywhere in the world. That’s a win, I guess??? 🤷‍♂ (Scam Altman laughing all the way to the bank…)

    United States is for instant gratification, no long term planning. I think that’s what is happening. Is there any person in power thinks long time? I don’t think so. More than 90% in power here sadly are just dumb.

    We have more data center compute. Not acknowledging that fact when discussing China being ahead in infrastructure is side stepping nuance.

    America is the representative of white supremacist politics in the western world, therefore I am very happy that America us retreating from the global stage. I am a black African and America had been a disaster for my race and continent. I prefer China because they never enslaved or colonised us. I will never forgive the west for the horrors and brutality the inflicted on us.

    Get outta here. US has zero chance! Look at the clowns running your government. Your politicians and a part of the population don’t believe in educated experts. Basic education is so inadequate, your STEM graduates are at least 1/7 of China’s. Look at your logistics and infrastructure. Look at your power generation. Look at all your Karens and Kens, not to mention all the lawyers and lawsuits and guns…and corruption! Then there’s the biased media that breeds distrust and disunity! You’re F***ed as far as I’m concerned.

    China isn’t racing. It will simply use the tech like any sensible person would. If Canada or Spain or Taiwan come up with tech engineers need, they’ll simply use it. It’s like spending your whole day bragging about designing the TEU while someone else is busy using it to ship 4 million units full of goods. The person who effectively applies and integrates AI into their systems is the winner

    So to be clear, using her own words, Amy is talking about supporting infrastructure not actual AI research and development, which every single credible AI analyst (and even Deepseek) says the US is still ahead in the most advanced AI and per the most cited research papers world wide.

    The gravest mistake the US ever made is to sanction China.. ! And yet the US keeps doing it again and again NOT know China would never succumb to such adversities!!! From Space tech, military tech to civilian tech! These were the previous sanctions results!!!!

    CHINA IS NOT COMPETING AGAINST THE U.S IN ANY SECTOR.. CHINA IS FOCUSED ON CHINA NOT WHAT OTHER NATIONS ARE DOING.. THE CHINESE BELIEVE THE WORLD IS A BIG PLACE FOR ALL TO PROSPER.. AMERICA AND THE WEST SEE THE WORLD AS A BATTLE FIELD, A PLACE TO DOMINATE PLUNDER KILL MILLIONS MURDER PILLAGE AND USE MILITARY VIOLENCE TO PLUNDER THE RESOURCES OF OTHER NATIONS..THE U.S IS OBSESSED WITH ZERO SUM THINKING BELIEVING THAT IF OTHER NATIONS PROSPER THAT’S A THREAT.THIS TOXIC COSTIC WESTERN IMPERIALISTS THINKING IS CAUSE OF WESTERN DECLINE.

    According to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, China leads the world in 57 out of 64 critical technology fields, the rest are led by the US (immigrants), nothing by Japan.

    China produces around 5 million STEM graduates in 2024, which is 10 times more than the declining US…

    China has been surpassing the US in STEM Ph.D. graduates since 2007; the US just can’t keep up anymore…

    China’s politicians/leaders don’t deliberately make their people foolish (say, with Bibles/Qurans/Buddhist Canons/religions) in order to better govern them… 👌🎉

    China has been investing for DECADES in human capital, esp. training their people in STEM fields. Each year they have more STEM graduates than the US, EU, India combined. In fact most of their top leaders possess STEM degrees. Furthermore, as mentioned in this video, they always look LONG TERM, i.e. 5, 10, 15 years. The US at best looks at 4 year election cycles, only cares about quarterly profits, and quick ROIs. Basically the US model is systemically inferior and inefficient. Consider how decrepit its education (e.g. PISA scores) and infrastructure is today. It will take decades to address these problems. The question is: does the US have the will to change its broken and inferior system.

    December 20, 2025 at 7:01 pm

    Brief: China’s PC state is incomparable better than USA’s capitalist imperialistic state, China’s centralized organization is incomparable superior to USA’s capitalist market disorder. For USA to survive the China future, USA needs to become like China or accept its declination, like the old Europe empires. China is the future. Capitalism is in state of decay.
