Is Chinese technological capability starting to worry you?

Asked by GeorgeGee (4930points) October 28th, 2010

The Chinese (YES, the Chinese!) just produced the world’s fastest computer.

And their high speed train just set a new world record of 262mph.

Meanwhile the fastest train in the USA the Amtrak Acela averages only 71mph due to poor tracks and electric lines, though the train itself is theoretically capable of 150mph.
Is the USA being left in the dust?
