You mean forever, or just right now? And why do you feel this way?

In the early 2000s they had some huge contract to build super fast magnetic levitating trains all over China...then in the end they only one they ever made was a very short one between Shanghai airport and Shanghai city center. You can read about it here:

Thank you. Would you agree that China's technology is vastly improved since say 2005 and this is possible in the near future?

Improved yes, but not innovative.
To create a brand new technology that no other country has right now requires incredible innovative inventors.
China has always excelled at copying and vastly improving foreign made inventions, but they have no history inventing amazing brand new tech out of thin air.

While what you are saying is true to be fair you need to look at where they started from. 50 years ago most Chinese were on the borderline of starvation so from that perspective they have made huge progress but yes there is still a long way to go before the average Chinese citizen gets to anywhere near a western standard of living which is admittedly hard when you have a country with a population well over 1 billion.

They had nowhere to go but up from cannibalism, so Deng Xiao Peng made a deal that included the one-child policy (demographic suicide) so that Fortune 1000 multinational corps could use Chinese as slave labor in order to destroy the West.

Whom would you credit for that?
