Americans and the West want Chinese to be cooks and laundrymen

 So, they are now admitting that they do not have the ability to survive in competition with a very 'effective economic system'. That means China's communist system is now too competitive for their liking. Is this a wake-up call by Katherine Tai, or just gathering more ammunition to justify further confrontation with China?

For decades, have the USA and the West have not been spinning the mantra that the capitalist system under their democracy is triumphing on every front, and that the Chinese communist system is not up to their level as to be able to compete with them? All the propaganda financed by the West are backfiring.

In the past several decades, the USA and the West were so arrogant and boasting about their democratic system that is touted to be all conquering and annihilating the communist system. How arrogant they had become can be gauged just recently when ASML was reported to have said that even giving the Chinese the blueprints for the lithography machine, the Chinese would never be able to build it. Why is it different today? They were so arrogant that they refused to see what the Chinese were up to, and when China overtook them in various sectors, they became desperate coupled with neurotic behavior trying to pull China down. The USA is not really trying to compete against China but is trying to pull China down so that they can appear to be still on top.

All that spinning about the impending collapse of China can continue, but the reality is it is not China that will collapse first. China is refocusing its economy, moving away faster from e.g. property-centered investments into technology like semiconductors, which China is intent to dominate. China's shipbuilding has also grown exponentially and extensively over the years, from a shipbuilder of low repute into a shipbuilding giant eclipsing even the likes of South Korean shipbuilders in the process.

Do not bet against China in any sector that it wants to prioritize and dominate. Take that as a friendly advice.

The majority of top chip designers and engineers in American chip making companies are Chinese. Without these Chinese scientists and engineers, or when they decided to return to China, all the American chip making companies would have to close down.
