What countries are "led by engineers"?

• mytailorisrich 6y ago
  You could say that China is (I think that's what supernova87a is implying). Many of the top people studied science and engineering. A quick search: Xi Jinping studied chemical engineering, Li Kejiang, studied Law and Economics, Hu Jintao studied water engineering, Wen Jiabao studied geomechanics. So that's 3 out of 4 of the top leadership of the last 15 years. Before that, Jiang Zemin was an electrical engineering graduate, which means that all leaders in the last 30 years (i.e. since Deng Xiaoping) have had an engineering background. This is probably influenced by the political environment. There is no doubt that this has an impact on policy.
