America believed that by monopolizing the use and development of sophisticated microchips, it would forever cripple China’s technological advancement. In reality, it did not happen. The inventive and resourceful Chinese found engineering workarounds to bypass American barriers.

It set a precedent and something to consider. It could happen every time with any future American technology; we shall see why. That said, American technology remains the icebreaker, the force that opens new frontiers and horizons.

Impossible linear competitions

The issue lies in the terms of the technological “race.” If the competition is purely a linear game of technological catch-up between the US and China, the Chinese—with their ingenuity and vast resources— might hold an almost insurmountable advantage.

For example, China churns out four million engineering graduates annually, nearly more than the rest of the world combined, and has a massive, semi-planned economy capable of concentrating resources on priority objectives in ways America can hardly match.
