Are you serious? Compass, gunpowder, in vitro fertilisation, metallurgy, the concept of zero and decimal number system.
In current times China and India has a manufacturing industry the US can't compete with (tries to, with expensive hogwash like the Chip act).
Strictly speaking yes, more people != more innovation, but your examples are just not making sense. You are talking about the second and fifth largest economies worldwide.
- ericmcer 2y agoYes I am serious, what you are claiming is: US has 333m so: China 1.4b = 4.5X more innovations Africa 1.3b = 4X more innovations India 1.4b = 4.5X more innovations I don't think this holds true at all. Also the innovations you mentioned are from a time before China had a massive population compared to Europe. I am talking about the last few generations when the human population exploded. Why would an innovation from 1000 years ago have any relevance.
