The Chinese are putting everything they have in getting the top spot. We still have over 1/2 the Supercomputers that exist in the world. It will be a long times before they have any kind of dominance in this field. I am certain if one were to look at these processors they have 'designed', you will notice that they look very similar to something Intel or AMD makes, only reversed-engineered. The Chinese don't have the R&D that we have. They can't invent their own stuff. They only copy what we have and put it in larger scale.
U.S. companies are far ahead. The next generation of tech is assuring our supercomputers will be over 100 times faster in 8 years than anything the Chinese came make now.

You talk as though the gap between the US and China will increase in 8 years. Yet, China is closing the gap. What makes you think that suddenly, it will be reversed?
My perspective of China is that China building the world's fastest computer shouldn't be a surprise, really. Someone has to have the fastest, why not China? And as far as the US having 1/2 the world's super computer, what makes you think China won't make that claim in a couple of decades?
This notion that when a non-Western country excells at something must be the result of something under handed or is part of an under handed goal is very Euro-Centric.
