And yet china population has been 5x US population for at least a century, but we’re witnessing china waking up only for the last 20 years. The fact that they’re reaching phd level in large quantity is a new thing.

Is the number of PhDs per capita higher than the US? My point is that even if it’s 5x lower PhD per capita, just by virtue of having 5x the population, China will have the same absolute number of PhDs as the US. Actually I was disappointed the article did not touch on education trends within China. Do you have any sources for analyses of educational trends? I would be interested in the number of Chinese getting PhDs in the US, vs in China, and how that ratio has changed in the past two decades. Might be even more interesting to compare the primary/secondary school systems across the two countries. Education is obviously valued more highly in the average Chinese family than it is in the average American family. This early emphasis on education could certainly explain the Chinese success in higher education.

Interesting isn't it? Chinese people didn't just bootstrap themselves either. They got help. I mean, does anyone actually think that the Chinese populace asked for Communism and built up their tyrannical government from within? No way. So who helped them start all this and why? Yale admits that they were complicit in helping Mao Tse Tung come to power in an article entitled "Yale Group Spurs Maos Emergence" - http://digital.library.yale.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/yale-ydn/id/135148/rec/14 http://digital.library.yale.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collectio... Without even looking at individual players, you can see what's going on. The USA has empowered China by buying everything they've made over the past 60 years. You'd think based on our values, a country like the US would have a big problem doing business with China. But nope! Everything's fine, just don't let any controlled-media mouthpiece talk about it though. There are many, many, many open and obvious details which outline an invisible hand at work here. If you look deeper, you'll also find the involvement of such shady characters as a certain well-known family of international banksters who loan money to start wars and people who start wars to be able to sell their drugs to people. Long story short: I think that China is the prototype for a new world-wide government that is going to take over after the big-bad USA (my homeland) is wiped out either economically or physically. The stage is being set right now and there is no time in history that we've looked worse than we do right now. I'm pretty sure we deserve whatever we get though because we've let our tax dollars be used for some pretty nasty business. Regardless of who anyone thinks the players are, we all know that the culture of corruption is real. This is the absolute height of corruption and it is definitely possible if not probable.
