im mexican and i agree that all the dislikes came from racists westerners and trolls!!

[@rustypudder7072]

..... But you are western

[@johnchen0213]

Full of people thinks China is stealing US technology. You could say that a few years ago, but as of 2017 China is actually innovating. Ex: China is now have the fastest supercomputer (Sunway TaihuLight), China currently have the fastest train (maglev), Largest Building (New Century Global Center)... Besides, without American's H1B-visa, forget about our tech sectors. A lot of Chinese Americans are now moving back to China for opportunity. Keep hating! I love it!

The same thing happened with Japan in the 80's - biggest difference? The Japanese population is only a gnat's fraction of China's. Also, there wasn't the same paranoia of foreigners as today. (But that's another discussion..)

[@vdcn2776]

What is your point about the population comparison?

[@issac9930]

johnchen0213 China is still stealing American technology. And China is copying American and European businesses.

[@123321ps]

Isaac Detherage ...... yes CHINA steal USA 2030 technology through the China made time machine. That is why China has the 2 most fastest super computer in the world and the quantum satellite. I strongly support USA to make one time machine themselves and steal back CHINA 2040 technology, or even may be 2050 technology.

One Belt One Road has already implemented for 4 years. Please searching "One belt one road" on KZbin published by CGTN. I was soooo shocked by their achievements!!!

[@akshatsinha5631]

Very impressive

Nice to see that tech will progress elsewhere as well. More tech developers and producers means a brighter future one way or another.

[@aidenwilliam7105]

The elites's of western wana control the brains of the west's poor, they make money in China but don't want poor western people to compete with them, so they tell the poor western that China is very poor and backward by control the media.

[@TangovagabondTV]

4:23 Western countries take note. The learning lab had all female students - a country with none of the old bias for what or who's nerdy is definitely going to rule 21st century tech!

[@rustypudder7072]

.... That can be said about many educational programs in america. Women or men making up the bulk of certain occupations/programs is not a chinese phenomena

[@SammyCee23]

People need to realize China's past history which is glorious and unsurpassed in innovation and technology up until the 19th century.

[@theragingcyclone]

All those fools who are saying America invested this and that must know that most of the things in America were invented by foreign innovators who migrated to USA. A country where almost half the population believes that earth was created in the last 10,000 years ago and creationism is equally valid and alternative theory against evolution can't innovate much. The only thing America did which other countries didn't is providing safe and stable environment to these migrants. Previously people from Europe were migrating in huge numbers and now from Asia. That is only major achievement of USA as a nation.

[@stun3282]

The Legend really how come American scientists created the internet and the us military invented gps and other things like that.

[@Alfaspring]

Why it has to be called Silicon Valley of hardware? Why not something new, some new name? First start with original name.

There's no comparison between Silicon Valley and china, china is way behind

4.5 years later, the distance has been shortened much. Another 3.5 years it would take to catch up, I project.

Well for all you people say all this tech is stolen, all I have to say is if they can steal this much stuff you guys seriously need to get better at protecting your stuff from being stolen.

[@silentwatcher1455]

Zemin Jiang you should wear eyeglasses to see the difference. Besides if you are copying something then you should have an original model to copy on. If this original model doesn't exist then you are inventing a new one. Do you know that rocket was invented in 12AD century by China. Then China owns the rocket technology. All rockets and missiles that exists today are copy of China rocket technology. Forget improvements and innovations, you call these copying.

[@silentwatcher1455]

Dylan Warren you need to wear eyeglasses to see the difference.
