China competing with the Americans in every field of interests

 For 30 years the West keep deluding themselves that they are the top dogs in every sector. They can just concentrate on using its military power and US$ hegemony to continue to control the world forever and they can ignore and brush China aside as backward, destined to mire in poverty and are good only to be cooks and laundrymen.

The rude awakening facing the Trump administration when they suddenly started realizing that the USA and the West are now fighting China in every sector. China is what they now call a 'peer competitor', not a competitor in just one or two sectors e.g. electronics or cars.

China now competes with the USA and the West in military capabilities, space exploration, AI, EVs, clean energy generation, telecommunication equipment, consumer electronics, mobile phones, chips manufacturing, shipbuilding, and aviation. Aviation is the only sector that China has not dominated yet, but China is trying to climb that ladder as well.

China just sent up three astronauts to their Tiangong Space Station and welcomed back three others who had completed their six months stay working at the TSS. Such a task seems so easy and it like a walk in the park.

China is well on its way to be self-sufficient in chip manufacturing by 2027, if I am not mistaken. It is even exporting chips, five billion pieces and even making its own lithography machines and selling them cheap to the rest of the world. Why is that important? Most smaller countries, not competing at the top end, do not need the really high-end chips and matured chips are sufficient for their industrial demands. China's lithography machines should find a ready market for small countries in the global south. They could hardly afford ASML lithography machines that costs US$200 million each. China already warned ASML not to play the sanctions game too aggressively, as one day China will be selling lithography machines like washing machines bought off the shelf, LOL.

I still remember the days when good quality photocopying machines from Xerox were as big as a small car and cost even more than a car then. Cars were really inexpensive, with a Mercedes just costing around S$15,000 around 1973. Today, we can get a printer cum copying machine for about S$250. The irony is that cars are now terribly expensive, in Red Dot of course.

PS. China is miles ahead of the Americans in space technology. The fake American moon landing has been exposed as a cheap American lie to con the Russians and the world. The Americans have NEVER been to the moon. They can't even get to the ISS without help from the Russians.
