To me "tech" means heavy industry, manufacturing stuff like cars, ships, planes - also making computer parts, phones, TVs, cameras etc.
But the biggest American so-called "tech" companies seem to be all about surveillance, privacy violations, selling data of their users and "adtech", unfortunately. And also bypassing laws and regulations while abusing their workers - airbnb, uber and other "innovative" companies like that.
If Europe is lagging behind, because we don't have those "adtech" companies then - good - I don't want us to be ahead. You are free to compete with China to see who will invade their citizens' privacy harder.
And what about actual high-tech stuff like bullet trains, maglevs, etc? How many of those has the USA built lately?
