It’s not easy to develop software. The future of the world is software, not hardware. Companies valued hundreds of billions dollars are software companies Google, Microsoft etc.
Software makes aircraft fly or crash. See Boeing. Software makes fighter F35 fly.
The US is a great place in making software. She attracts talents from all the world. I worked in Chicago for while. Great city great atmosphere great feeling. A great country for developing everything. China is not a country that attracts foreign talents. China is a country exclusively for Chinese.
Even if Xi Jinping pours hundreds of billions dollars into developing a domestic software sector, I don’t see, how can the closed minded country develop a software for any country outside the Great Wall.
Yes, that is the drawback China had compare with USA.
Even if China want to do it, China need to pay more for foreign talents.
Another drawback is, China is not yet to think globally, which is many apps are in Chinese and have difficulty to release global version. Not just language, Chinese apps always have two version, Chinese version and Global version (that it's less superior).
