The maglev (magnetic levitation), wherever it was invented (Leonardo da Vinci or even earlier invented the airplane, but couldn't build one), it was developed and built in Germany as Transrapid. We have the best scientists and engineers of the world, but our politicians (Adolf Hitler an exception) are as incompetent as everywhere else, and for political reasons it was not built on a large scale in Germany, but exported to China where it was finally built on a large scale.
The Swiss built their railway network under similar conditions, same for the Transsib, and all that 100 years ago!
A friend just stopped in Bangkok on the way back to Germany from a business trip in China, visited some factories who do textiles, all German and Swiss sewing machines!
Da best engineers in da world! That's a pretty bold statement. Also convenient of you to give some praise to your secret love, Hitler.
Anyway, I'll just leave this here:

Or I don't know, but just search "Avro Arrow", and you'll see. Most people outside of Canada probably don't even know about it, but it was a military airplane decades ahead in terms of technology. Nobody quite knows why the project was scrapped, but it's widely believed due to US pressure the program was scrapped, plus all blueprints and documents destroyed.
Matt: Wikipedia says this about the cancellation.
'Within two months of the project cancellation, all aircraft, engines, production tooling and technical data were ordered scrapped.[89] Officially, the reason given for the destruction order from cabinet and the chiefs of staff was to destroy classified and "secret" materials used in the Arrow and Iroquois programs.[90] The action has been attributed to Royal Canadian Mounted Police fears that a Soviet "mole" had infiltrated Avro, later confirmed to some degree in the Mitrokhin archives."
So not the USs fault. Canada's.
Christian: Not sure about your comments regarding German engineers. Indeed superb but 'best in the world' is a hard claim to quantify. The worlds most awesome bridges, roads, buildings, tunnels, planes, ships, submarines, oil rigs etc have all been built by other nations and other nations engineers. It might be a good idea to avoid bigging up Hitler and German engineering in the same post. It just comes across badly.
Yeah, that was the "official" reason, but just use a bit of common sense, and it doesn't add up. If you have ground breaking technology that's vastly superior to anything else on the planet, you don't just just scrap it including all documents and classified information, because you have a hunch there might be a Russian mole. That's why until this day, there's still speculation as to why the project was actually scrapped. It's widely believed the US forced Canada's hand, took the technology for its airforce, and forced Canada to completely destroy the project.
As for Christian's comment about the best engineers in the world again. Which company was it that helped computerize and catalougue all those Jews in the camps ready for chemical extermination? Oh right, that would be IBM, a US based company.
Anyway, back to the OP. China is quite obviously kicking ass, and taking names, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop them. In the meantime, you have the EU holding on by the skin of its teeth, and Trump running the US into the ground at a very impressive pace. He's definitely the best, but just wrong direction dude.
Due to investments in renewable energy, China is planning to generate 13,000,000 new jobs by 2020, and a decent portion for that decision was because Trump pulled out of the Paris Accord and doesn't believe in climate change. So I guess Trump is making good on his pledge to generate millions of new jobs, but wrong country you fucken imbecile!
In fact - there was huge catastrophe at time of testing in Germany and after it project been canceled, while China didn't cancel

Yes, Germany invented the get engine, and also invented submarines.
However, your claim that Germany has the best engineers in the world is still retarted. Germany lost both world wars, remember?
Jet engine. Germany? Mmm.
