Yeah, there are advantages to being late to the development game in that it's easier to build new infrastructure on new technology than to retrofit old infrastructure with new technology.
China invented gunpowder, china (pottery), and big walls. It then took everything the world had invented and is just now applying it. China isn't leaving anyone behind, rather they are being pushed forward.
That isn't to say the US isn't in danger of being left behind. If the trend of attacking meritocracy continues, we'll slowly lose the spirit of innovation.
