rank | Fri Jun 05 02:59:53 Well, the US ain't what it was in 1990. No denying the rise of China as a major player. The EU forged out of neccesity to be a player on the world stage. Others.... China has absolutely taken the lead in raw manufacturing ability...they still have a brand though that isn't trusted for quality...falling behind in the space race, gaining influence, population shrinking and ageing RAPIDLY. US, still makes money, still leads in military, business and high end manufacturing, tech, Space, failing on infrastructure, many other metrics, sliding back towards dystopian robber barrons. EU-Nice place to live, has very little pull internationally, 2nd rate world power but still known for high quality manufacturing, food, high standards of living, good side kick on things like space and R&D |

rank | Fri Jun 05 08:17:09 Rockets + satellites Airplanes - Europe can almost keep up. Weapons - by far Computer chips Medical devices Medicine - by far Oil equipment Things the US is tied for Cars - China will probably pull away soon Ships Robots- China may pull away Food and alcohol Things the US clearly does not have the lead in Solar panels 3d printers Batteries Consumer electronics Ski equipment Pretty much all low tech items... China dominates here. |
