I have to say, we are clearly the technology leader in the world. It's just that when we invent something the first thing we do is call China to check manufacturing costs.

Defense, communications, and that final frontier thing keep us well ahead. It's only the defense stuff that we build here and even that is outsourced.

And lengthy conversations with people who have spent a great deal of time in China tells me they aren't anywhere close.......................yet.
