[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yet here we are, with the US being the most advanced country in the history of planet earth.  We have the best technology, the best universities, a great system of governance, a huge amount of real freedoms, silicon valley, wall street, NASA, hollywood, the US dollar, and the world's greatest military.

This is like tucker carlson talking about how amazing the subway system is in Moscow.

China is an awful, poor, over-populated country compared to the US by a LONG shot. The economy is country by the government - i.e., the communist party picks the winners and losers.

Sorry, I didn't even click on OP's link, but I'm not afraid of some video showing chinese kids wearing uniforms, eating vegetables, and exercising.

And yet 75% of stuff in your house and in your body is made in that awful country. In fact, the device you used to post this drivel probably came from there too. [/quote]

Made there,  but not invented there…[/quote]

Second to market makes the most money.[/quote]

OMG the Chinese crushes us in so many subjects - engineering, education, infrastructure, transportation, technology.  The US is really good at sales. That's pretty much it.

I don't even know that we are awesome at inventing any more.  We may have a hand in inventing things but def as a partner with other scientists based in foreign lands.  Even if American, odds are it's an immigrant or 2nd generation American.  But what kind of inventions are you talking about - cause the Chinese invented gun powder, the compass, paper, printing...  not sucking in inventions![/quote]

Paper? Lol, the Chinese haven’t invented a single invention in 1,000 years. They’re good at rote memorization and practice, but they completely lack in creativity.

Who cares if the average Chinese kid is smarter than the average American one. That’s irrelevant for a society. We don’t need a populace of above average people, we need a few geniuses to make inventions, and revolutionize our lives. Something about our culture allows those few to flourish, whereas the Chinese one does not. [/quote]

Ask any STEM professor at a college in the US with a big cohort of Chinese nationals. There is often a major academic dishonesty problem in that group. Not to say that there aren’t some brilliant kids, but the cheating is out of control.[/quote]

Agreed. They cheat at everything.[/quote]

Extend that observation to the finance and real estate sectors in China. You can only keep the lie going for a limited period of time, then reality shows up in a nasty way. [/quote]
