USA was superior in space technology, but China caught up and even go one up by building a space station for itself and landing on the moon and sending a probe that landed on Mars.
USA was the dominant power in vehicles production, but Japan caught up much earlier on and now China overtook both of them. China is killing the ICE vehicle manufacturers of the USA, Germany, Japan and South Korea. The carnage is ugly and will get uglier with even EV makers finding the heat too hot to handle.
USA was superior in making mobile phones with, if I remember correctly, Motorola the touted to go for in mobile technology with its heavyweight phones that cost a bomb, 4G, and telecommunication equipment. China too caught up and overtook the USA with 5G and now experimenting with 6G. Huawei was banned for outcompeting USA's phone makers, Swedish Ericson and Finnish Nokia. No, it is not just Apple alone in China that is propelling the eclipse of these dominant giants of old. The likes of Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo and some others are outselling the European brands and putting them out of business.
USA domestic social media platforms could not compete with Tik Tok and so they want the USA Government to ban it. Why ban it if it is not competing too well with the likes of Meta, Twitter and Youtube? With 170 million users in the USA, it must have been a hard pill to swallow for USA's domestic operators of similar platforms.
China's 5G was claimed to be junk by some anti-China trolls. If so, why is the USA so afraid of Huawei and its 5G technology? Denial is not getting anywhere, with reality silencing all the propaganda.

Too arrogant, too complacent, too afraid of competition, too much dependence on sanctioning instead of taking up challenges, losing foreign talents due to racial bias, too fixated on an education system just churning out lawyers, accountants and doctors and forgetting about the hard sciences and engineering, and most of all looking down on Chinamen, which was its greatest mistake.
How did cooks and laundrymen become so strong in engineering and science is something the USA did not foresee, despite its top-of-the line spy network and intelligence. And everything today depends on scientists and engineers in the age of technology. The USA is talking about changing its education system now, by going back to basics and starting from the bottom.
China had and is already training kindergarten kids in skills the USA would never expect. In the USA, parents would be up in arms about their kids going through the system in such a manner. No, other people will have to continue to produce the things that the USA wants, and the USA only wants to print toilet papers in exchange. That is going to end soon. The USA dream is under siege.
USA is still tops on printing technology viz money printing. They've tons of practice.
