There's this kind of crab bucket mentality where in the West we feel like we need to be ahead of China no matter what. That's not going to last if all we have is trade secrets keeping us in the lead. Maybe we should get back to innovating. Reduce the amount of red tape and stamp out rent seeking behaviour. UK's economic growth this year is projected to be just 0.5%. China's will be ~5%.
Frankly I have lost faith in our leadership. I really don't see how we can catch up at this point. Might be time to learn some Mandarin.
