What makes a superpower? What is the definition of human rights? > What's plaguing American academia, and America at large, is China's influence and bribes. What is plaguing the US in money is not bribes but appeasement to the Chinese market like Hollywood superhero movies, Apple kowtowing, and newpapers refusing to critique it in a truthful way. Academia is more plagued by internal politics, publish or die, p hacking, and a desire not to be canceled. China supports sciences and people who don't have funding for their interests do not have laboratories that can support their kind of interests. The US needs to fund STEM better.
