Market turns ideas and new knowledge industries. And it takes money and people and their convergence to do that. Not really anything new. South Korea and Japan do not have enough people. China, India, Indonesia and etc do not have enough overall and per capita wealth. So the US is at present the most creative/inventive. But China is getting close.
