A closer look suggests it is
ASPI: China leads in fifty-seven of sixty-four technologies, the US leads in seven:
1. Quantum computing
China leads the US in Quantum Communications, matches it in Quantum Sensing, and trails in quantum computing, particularly in hardware and practical systems.
2. Vaccines and medical countermeasures
1970: 10 vaccines by age 6: Autism: 1 in 10,000, vaccine sales $400M. 2023: 72 vaccines by age 18: Autism: 1 in 36, vaccine sales $60B.
China Autism prevalence 0.7%
USA Autism prevalence 2.8%
mRNA ‘vaccines’ probably killed or injured more than they saved: Sinovax’s killed virus was both safe and effective. China’s medical countermeasures are superior, since Chinese live longer, healthier lives than Americans.
3. Nuclear medicine and radiotherapy

US is clearly ahead.
4. Small satellites
Elon’s Starlink galaxy makes it the clear leader, though China’s may be more sophisticated. This article explains China’s looming overcapacity: “In some markets, Chinese laser comms terminals, hall effect thrusters and the like will rush in at low prices. For countries that could never afford their own laser comms builders but are considering a national space program, this should mean more, cheaper options, with limited downside”.
5. Atomic clocks
China’s atomic clock loses a second every 7.2 billion years. America’s takes 40 billion years.
6. Genetic engineering
Not clear what the methodology was here, but China took the lead in Genetics research in 2023.
7. Natural language processing
Again, unclear how this conclusion was arrived at. China leads in Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition; Human-Computer Interaction; Computer Science Applications.
Overall?
China invests 400% more in R&D than the USA and forty percent of American articles in science journals have Chinese authors. Chinese researchers are fleeing the USA as quickly as they can find jobs elsewhere. The trend is clear..
