Exactly. If there are two things the Chinese aren't good at, it's science and engineering.

  There's a lot of domain knowledge in traditional engineering that is impossible replicate artificially - much more so than software. You can take the best rail engineers in the world, put them in a room, and they still won't be able to make a half-decent mid-size sedan to save their lives. It's not about if you're "good at science and engineering", it's about your country's history and track record in building bleeding-edge aircraft. China is playing catchup in a huge way, though they do get to take the fast lane thanks to ex-Soviet tech. Ace aerospace engineers come out of building airplanes, not reading a book or going to conferences.

  If its one thing the Chinese can mimmick, it's pretending there's a scarcity of fighterjetplanewhatevers.

  ... Take your racism somewhere else. Or provide some empirical data that proves that your not just an ignorant racist. EDIT (in light of response): My apologies if this is indeed sarcasm. No need to take that somewhere else, instead I can take my 'complete lack of understanding sarcasm' somewhere else. :)

    I think he was being sarcastic.

  science, yes. engineering, not as much as you'd think. Asian cultures place a HUGE HUGE HUGE emphasis on rote memorization. The kind of learning that isn't exactly conducive to creative endeavors like engineering. *edit: I'm assuming you were being sarcastic.
