Isn’t this a good thing? Double the research?
Don’t we want the rest of the world to equal the US?
- rectang 9y agoThere's a geopolitical dimension to this question, because of one-party rule in China. If the regime were less oppressive, reactions would be different.
- bobosha 9y agoI doubt that assertion. Look to its neighbor India - a relatively much freer and open society, but greeted with sneery snarkiness on these fora.

- melling 9y agoThat’s probably wrong. If India held tech leadership, it would generate more wealth for the nation, thus raising the standard of living for many. People would also see a path to take to have a better life.
