By our hesitation, thus allowing countries to take the ball and run. When you add the willingness of our industries to give the technologies and expertise to other countries for the simple reason of shedding the taxes and labor costs in this country.

Greed!
Shame on them!

Put the blame square on the short sighted politicians funded by the industrialists.

The US political elite and corporatists underestimated the Chinese.

The US was accustomed to dealing with people from the developing world who were just looking for a job. Not the Chinese...they were consumed with owning their own business and they were prepared to put in the required work. That entails copying, re-engineering, spying, and studying.

The US facilitated every facet. The worst: It sold its best university space to a fierce rival.
