>The truth is that the U.S. China relationship has been extremely one-sided for a very long time now: China buys the hardware it needs, and keeps all of the software opportunities for itself — and, of course, pursues software opportunities abroad.

The US started off the game with a lot more technology, knowledge, and power than the Chinese.

A lot of Chinese companies would not have been able to start if they instantly got out marketed by large American ones.
