China has passed the U.S. technologically, especially in military technology and communication. The U.S. military has stagnated and is caught back in Iraq 2 technology, with equipment that is worn out and falling apart. China on the other hand is building a new high-tech military, with hypersonic weapons and other military technologies the U.S., especially its carrier groups, is incapable of defending against.

China is years ahead of the U.S. in 5G. And all of that is controlled by the government. In the U.S., 5G will never develop because of the government regulation hurdles (such as EIS challenges by the hystericals) it will have to jump through. Perhaps that is OK, once 5G is implemented our lives will be entirely controlled by computers. We literally won't be able to move without them, since cars will be self-driving and transportation will be entirely controlled by an interconnected computer network.

By the way, that is what the real battle between Huawei and the U.S. is about. Meng Wangzhou, the chief financial officer and daughter of the chairman of Huawei, is essentially a political prisoner of the U.S.--the U.S. wants to use her as a bargaining chip to force concessions from China in return for her release. It's actually pretty shocking. Probably a miscalculation, since Chinese antagonism against the U.S. has ramped up hugely in response.

Our government won't tell us any of this. Trump is aware of this, but given a Congress comprised of leftist Democrats and GOP Rinos, that will block any move to make our country more prepared, we are in a pretty bad situation. We can't even deal with the rapidly increasing invaders at the southern border.

China does not want to get in a direct confrontation with us, but wants to be in a position where taking over Taiwan will be a fait accompli since the U.S. will be too weak to respond, and then become the dominant economic world power. They believe the U.S. will rot out from the inside, which is basically what is happening.
