That's unfair, and untrue in a broad sense. We're still the leaders in innovation, and new developments. By a VERY long shot. It's very easy to follow the path, and trim the edges, when someone else has already blazed the trail.

Yes, they've gotten, "lazy" for lack of a better term. But they said that just before WWII.

Let's see what happens when the Chinese government stops cracking the whip on the backs of their people. Tell me, what's really changed there, since "the Good Earth?"
