Within two decades, the US lost its leadership position to China. From leading of 45 critical technologies to just five

Data analyzed by the Australian ASPI Institute shows that leadership in these technologies has shifted to China. One area in which the US still dominates is vaccine development, but this too is at risk due to the cutbacks.
