What you said is 100% true, but of course you're getting down voted because China=bad and America=good.

People don't seem to realize the USA has poured billions of dollars into Boeing, Hewlett-Packard Company, Honeywell, GE, IBM, etc. etc

Those companies wouldn't have nearly the global presence they do if the government contracts hadn't paid for billions in R&D over the decades.

Please keep the swipes about downvotes out of your HN comments. Those break the site guidelines. They also usually end up being wrong. In this case, the GP has been heavily upvoted, but your comment lingers on adding wrong information and noise to the thread.
