That China has a more vibrant tech scene than Europe is a real shame.

And yet China's relative success is due to protectionism (or failed antitrust in USA/EU).

In a "winner takes all" situation, how else can the EU compete ? (The US did protectionism too while their industries were fledgling, to avoid getting crushed by the British...)

This is not a winner takes all situation at all.
