Who exactly thought China wouldn't catch up?

They invested in creating a highly-educated workforce, brought in foreign specialists to fill in the gaps, and built the prerequisite supply chains, and chip companies. That's how you get chips.

Was it racism? Ideological blinders on people who thought technological development comes from free markets, instead of workers?
