As someone trained in US in Engineer, I feel sad to see that US is losing out in the advantage in the technology.

Apply this ideal to relate where I have live for the last fews year - Singapore. The situation is worse. But they are smart, they know that they can't compete, so they just give up. This can be highlighted by selling of Charted Semiconductor manufacturing.

But as a engineer, where should I go? Taiwan or China?
