What you said would be right only if US didn't see all achievements made by people from all over the world as its private properties. And didn't weaponize them to restrict other countries' science development. Which is also a good thing for mankind.Of course an example could be Sergey Brin (Google co-founder) who moved to the US from Russia when he was 6.
However we can also claim the world is theoretically horrifically being held back by all those people stranded in their own countries without any resources to bring their ideas to fruition.
So should mankind be eternally thankful the US is around so a small percentage of these people from around the world can get on a boat/plane and start a groundbreaking company in the US...and change mankind's destiny...as they have been doing for the last 250 years?
China definitely doesn't seem to be the world's savior...Sergey Brin's Russian parents certainly didn't pick China as their destination...and if they did what are the chances he'd be a President of a Chinese company....likely very close to zero...he would be yet another talent wasted.
If Colombo didn't find the new continent, do you think human beings would never invent computer, semiconductor and internet? Bullshit.
