Tech? That's a very broad domain, do you want to be more specific? Like, hardware is mostly China and Taiwan, IT services were a strength of India but IDK what's happening now with AI, etc.
But as a broad brush, "tech" is all over the place in every industrialised nation, so it's going to be more like 25-35% USA.
But even in the USA, I don't accept "no one could try beating SpaceX in launch costs", for the same reason SpaceX got as good as it did as quickly as it did. It's not a unique magic artefact, but rather science and engineering.
And of course, new market + legal prohibitions just means opportunities for every other nation to be the place (say, all the chips are made in Taiwan, though obviously they may have their own opinions about exports to China) to go for everyone who just wants a commercial satellite up in orbit, and when the interesting tech isn't from the US in the first place, no export control by the USA can stop that.
A) not when you're the Chinese government
B) not when the rockets are now 3D-printable
C) even without that, that sounds to me like an obvious monopoly abuse lawsuit, and even if the US doesn't take that seriously any more, it's the fig leaf needed for all other interested nations to use existing tools for trade manipulation to "level the playing field"
> Try building both... and you will never get enough qualified engineers, know-how, and funding, just because no one will fund a copy of Boeing(plus a lot of other things), or Intel.
Clearly not true because competition already exists for each part separately. Even from other US billionaires, let alone internationally from nations who see the USA as a threat.
But also this pertains to previous point about Musk himself being a threat to this position, he's poisoning his own well of talent.
