US wants to stop Chinese coming up with interesting new technology
 

Europe invented stuff and the US stole it first

US Commerce Secretary Gina Marie Raimondo has told the world+dog that the country that invented paper and gunpowder must not be allowed to invent any new stuff, because that is Western society's job.

In a statement which looks like it could have been written in the anti-Chinese period of US history in the 19th century, she stopped short of calling the Chinese “onions”.

Raimondo said that it was up to Europe and the US to put the brakes on Chinese innovation.

"America is most effective when we work with our allies", Raimondo told CNBC's Kayla Tausche in an exclusive interview. "If we really want to slow down China's rate of innovation, we need to work with Europe. They're ripping off our IP, they are not playing by the rules. It's not a level playing field. And so we need to hold their feet to the fire to make sure that they do that."
