# J# j( W9 z7 j+ |5 G+ {$ T如今，中国在电动汽车领域的主导地位有可能导致一场贸易战，然而这项技术是几十年前在得克萨斯州的大学实验室诞生的，当时那里的研究人员发现了如何使用丰富而廉价的矿物质制造电池。
最近，在这些早期发现的基础上，来自中国的公司研究出了如何让电池保持强有力的电量，并能承受10多年的每日充电。这些公司正在以低廉的成本和可靠的方式制造大量这种电池，生产世界上大部分电动汽车和许多其他清洁能源系统。
电池只是中国在技术和制造成熟度方面赶上或超过先进工业民主国家的一个例子。从制药到无人机，再到高效太阳能电池板，中国在众多领域取得了许多突破。
) P; i6 ?# S+ U自“二战”以来，美国一直保持着技术领先地位，而北京对这一地位的挑战体现在中国的课堂和企业预算中，同时也体现在共产党最高层的指示中。
中国学生主修科学、数学和工程学的比例大大高于其他大国的学生。这一比例还在进一步上升，尽管自2000年以来，高等教育的总体入学人数增加了10倍以上。

As a professor in a major university in the US and just returned from giving several lectures in China, I can say the Chinese students are much more focused than those here. They speak fluent English, read the scientific journals, and are engaged. One of my lectures was attended by 7000 people virtually. In the US, many students major in Business - and I often ask what they want to achieve. They want to make money. Not batteries or a product that would make the world a better place. Simple as that. If we could split water to make hydrogen, the world would be a much better place. But in the Chemistry dept. where I work, most of the money goes to people who design drugs. While that is critically important - in the end, we need to get off of the fossil fuel cycle fast. Let's get some vision into our research. Edison, Tesla and Ford changed the world over a hundred years ago. We need the new "Edisons, Teslas and Fords" - not Musks.
作为美国一所重点大学的教授，刚从中国讲学回来，我可以说中国学生比这里的学生专注得多。他们能说流利的英语，阅读科学期刊，并且积极参与。我的一场讲座实际上有 7000 人参加。 在美国，许多学生主修商科——我经常问他们想要实现什么目标。他们想赚钱。不是电池或能让世界变得更美好的产品。 就这么简单。 如果我们能够分解水来制造氢气，世界将会变得更加美好。但在化学系。在我工作的地方，大部分钱都流向了药物设计者。 尽管这一点至关重要，但最终我们需要快速摆脱化石燃料循环。 让我们对我们的研究有一些展望。 爱迪生、特斯拉和福特一百多年前改变了世界。 我们需要新的“爱迪生、特斯拉和福特”——而不是马斯克。

/ a: [- ^$ B9 `' M7 e$ K@paul The scale of research is just incomprehensible to outsiders. I was last year in a conference on automotive technologies and presented on the opening day. It was the first conference in China in this domain since COVID and the attendance was still controlled. There were about 400 researchers and industry representatives in the hall, but it was streamed online, freely accessible to researchers, industry and students. To my astonishment they had at a peak 80,000 attendees online, mainly students. In my field of work, most IEEE papers are written by Chinese authors. Even from North American Universities (and Canada seems to have more papers than the US), most authors are Chinese. Another comment: the article refers to the number of undergraduate and postgraduate students in the US compared with China. What it does not mention is that postgraduate students in US Universities have a large number from China and India among them.

@paul While you were there giving lectures I hope you didn’t tell them anything about the work done in your US labs or anything funded by NSF, DoE, DARPA, or other US agencies. Especially during the special ‘informal’ colloquia they arrange, or the fancy banquets where lips are loosened with mao tai! Inviting western academics on all expenses paid trips, visiting professorships, and other ego boosting boondoggles has long been a key part of the Chinese strategy for accelerating their R&D progress through ‘soft espionage’ tactics like this.
@paul 当您在那里演讲时，我希望您没有告诉他们任何有关您在美国实验室所做的工作或由 NSF、DoE、DARPA 或其他美国机构资助的任何信息。尤其是在他们安排的特殊“非正式”座谈会，或者在豪华宴会上，用茅台酒放松嘴唇！ 邀请西方学者进行一切费用的付费旅行、客座教授和其他自我提升的无用之举，长期以来一直是中国通过此类“软间谍”策略加速研发进程的战略的关键部分。

@paul : Worse, our business-people tend to mistreat our STEM people. The latter are viewed as a 'cost-center' in firms that rely on engineering, while production is the 'profit-center.' The exploitation of engineers goes back to the 19th century when Thomas Edison claimed credit for the creations of his nameless staff. In the political realm, the business managers want government subsidies, but hate industrial policy. But when they decide how to spend R&D funds, it typically relates to improving industrial processes in a production context. Now with AI emerging, the business-people will be able to automate much if not most engineering work over time. By the way, if one looks at Musk, he, Edison, and Ford all belong in the same boat - as managers who organize research and engineering to profitable ends. Tesla was the true engineer and inventor.
@paul：更糟糕的是，我们的商人往往会虐待我们的 STEM 人员。后者被视为依赖工程的公司的“成本中心”，而生产则是“利润中心”。对工程师的剥削可以追溯到 19 世纪，当时托马斯·爱迪生 (Thomas Edison) 声称其无名员工的创造归功于他。 在政治领域，企业管理者希望政府补贴，但讨厌产业政策。但当他们决定如何使用研发资金时，通常与改进生产环境中的工业流程有关。 现在，随着人工智能的兴起，随着时间的推移，商界人士将能够实现大部分（如果不是大部分）工程工作的自动化。 顺便说一句，如果人们看看马斯克，就会发现他、爱迪生和福特都属于同一条船——都是为了盈利目的而组织研究和工程的管理者。特斯拉是真正的工程师和发明家。

@paul You make very good points. The United States has invested heavily in pharmaceuticals research. But as the Australian Strategic Policy Institute found in its broad review of technologies, China now leads in many fields. Chemistry, long a priority, has emerged as a particular area of strength. The chemistry department at Central South University in Changsha, which I visited, was immense. And there are similar chemistry departments at dozens of large universities in China. The only category identified by the Australian institute in which China is even more dominant globally in published papers than in battery chemistry was in hypersonics, a field used in the design of ballistic missiles. Graduates of Chinese chemistry programs earn half or less of what newly minted American chemical engineers earn. A Chinese graduate with a masters in chemistry can earn $25,000 to $40,000 a year straight out of school while a graduate with a doctorate in chemistry earns more like $55,000. But the cost of living is also much lower. A studio apartment in Changsha, a hub of the chemicals industry, rents for as little as $140 a month, and a spacious two-bedroom apartment is double that. Zoning regulations in China strongly encourage the construction of high-rises. That has meant a vast supply of apartments, which has kept rents down. A bubble in apartment prices has recently burst, however.
@paul你的观点非常好。美国在药物研究方面投入巨资。但正如澳大利亚战略政策研究所在对技术的广泛审查中发现的那样，中国现在在许多领域处于领先地位。化学长期以来一直是一个优先领域，现已成为一个特殊的优势领域。 我参观过的长沙中南大学化学系规模很大。中国数十所大型大学也设有类似的化学系。澳大利亚研究所发现，中国在全球发表的论文中比电池化学更占主导地位的唯一类别是高超音速技术，这是一个用于弹道导弹设计的领域。 中国化学专业毕业生的收入只有美国新化学工程师收入的一半或更少。一名拥有化学硕士学位的中国毕业生毕业后每年可赚取 25,000 至 40,000 美元，而拥有化学博士学位的毕业生每年可赚取 55,000 美元左右。 但生活成本也低得多。在化学工业中心长沙，一套单间公寓的租金仅为每月 140 美元，而宽敞的两居室公寓的租金是这个价格的两倍。中国的分区法规大力鼓励高层建筑的建设。这意味着大量的公寓供应，从而压低了租金。然而，公寓价格泡沫最近破裂了。

The Chinese are quite good at presenting a shiny facade, particularly for non-Chinese academics and business people.

@TW I agree that string math and science students in high school deserve more support, and frankly, more challenge. There is too much focus on grades and getting into the most exclusive and prestigious colleges. That forces top students to stress and complain when teachers like me challenged them with difficult concepts, problem sets, exams, and foremost - high expectations. My former students did very well in college math, science, and engineering courses at top colleges and universities. On another note, I taught many students with a variety of cognitive and learning challenges. These students, as far as I could tell, are not headed into STEM fields at the research or engineering level. And unfortunately, many waste taxpayer dollars by failing to work hard and take advantage of the great assistance they receive from teachers and special education professional .
@TW 我同意高中弦数学和科学学生应该得到更多的支持，坦率地说，更多的挑战。人们过于关注成绩和进入最独特、最负盛名的大学。当像我这样的老师用困难的概念、问题集、考试，以及最重要的——高期望来挑战他们时，这迫使顶尖学生感到压力和抱怨。我以前的学生在顶尖学院和大学的大学数学、科学和工程课程中取得了很好的成绩。 另一方面，我教了许多面临各种认知和学习挑战的学生。据我所知，这些学生并没有进入研究或工程层面的 STEM 领域。不幸的是，许多人浪费了纳税人的钱，因为他们没有努力工作，也没有利用从教师和特殊教育专业人员那里得到的巨大帮助。

I've been to China in delegations of engineers, and it's both extraordinary how rapidly China has emerged as a futuristic tech and renewable energy powerhouse, and also dismaying how much the US popular imagination still underestimates the Chinese, as if deluding ourselves that China only copies or rips off Western tech or makes only cheap products. China has become possibly the most innovative country on earth now, not just in number of patents or inventions but in sheer quality of their science and tech. Their infrastructure is first-rate, lately expanding even into the small towns and villages. China is rapidly building its renewable power foundation, partly thanks to a long-term vision and 5- and 10-year plans that aren't vulnerable to political weathervanes. And China even does have some democratic elements, such as contested village elections and clear feedback from the people in response to policy initiatives, as part of a meritocratic system. (And for whatever it's worth, millions of Taiwanese work in China and many Chinese visit Taiwan, and the people in both get along very well, despite the overheated headlines) This is why attempts by the US to contain Chinese tech advances are counterproductive, and just spur the Chinese to innovate even faster. A major problem is hubris; the West should be aggressive in encouraging Mandarin language learning, travel and actual insights into China, because misunderstanding and underestimating them now is a dangerous mistake.
我曾随工程师代表团去过中国，中国作为未来科技和可再生能源强国的崛起速度之快令人惊叹，而且令人沮丧的是，美国民众的想象力仍然低估了中国人，仿佛自欺欺人地认为中国只是复制或抄袭西方技术或只生产廉价产品。 中国现在可能已经成为地球上最具创新力的国家，不仅体现在专利或发明的数量上，还体现在科学技术的绝对质量上。他们的基础设施是一流的，最近甚至扩展到小城镇和村庄。中国正在迅速建立可再生能源基础，部分原因在于长期愿景和不易受到政治风向标影响的五年和十年计划。 中国甚至确实有一些民主元素，例如有争议的村庄选举和人民对政策举措的明确反馈，作为精英制度的一部分。 （无论其价值如何，数百万台湾人在中国工作，许多中国人访问台湾，尽管头条新闻过热，但两国人民相处得很好） 这就是为什么美国遏制中国科技进步的尝试会适得其反，只会刺激中国更快地创新。 一个主要问题是傲慢；西方应该积极鼓励普通话学习、旅行和对中国的实际了解，因为现在误解和低估它们是一个危险的错误。

@Radek The West has certainly underestimated China in the automotive sector, and arguably in research and development more broadly. Most foreign auto executives left China during the pandemic, and did not see the progress that was being made. Engineers at Chinese companies kept working hard on new designs, particularly electric car designs, throughout the pandemic. As foreign executives have returned to China over the past year and a half, they have found the Chinese industry to have become much more competitive and innovative than they expected.

@Radek Learning Mandarin is fine. Making sure our children learn to sound out words, read, and learn math would be better. Getting an education takes hard work. When parents do not teach their children patience, perseverance, and a modicum of good manners, there can be no learning: Teachers will have a difficult time doing anything but trying to keep order in their classrooms. When the educational establishment prioritizes fun in the place of actual learning, which requires application and concentration, because a proportion of parents are derelict, our schools are lost. Please do not blame "bad schools" on poverty. Places like Stuyvesant and Bronx Science are filled with poor students who are immigrants, or whose parents are immigrants who work two and three jobs, but who understand that education takes effort and whose parents have instilled in them a work ethic. Similar to those Black children in segregated schools who, even without adequate text books and playing fields, were taught to cherish learning, were worked hard by dedicated Black schoolteachers, and went on to Howard University and Spelman College and became educators, physicians, lawyers, and judges. From kindergarten upwards, we have taken the easy way.
& y0 D. N) n! v; `& c: s@Radek 学普通话还是不错的。确保我们的孩子学会发音、阅读和学习数学会更好。 接受教育需要艰苦的努力。如果父母不教导孩子耐心、毅力和一点点良好的举止，就不可能学到东西：老师除了努力维持课堂秩序之外，什么都做不了。 当教育机构将乐趣置于需要应用和集中注意力的实际学习之上时，由于一部分家长的疏忽，我们的学校就迷失了。 请不要将“糟糕的学校”归咎于贫困。像史岱文森和布朗克斯科学这样的地方充满了贫穷的移民学生，或者他们的父母是打两份或三份工作的移民，但他们明白教育需要付出努力，而且他们的父母向他们灌输了职业道德。 就像那些在种族隔离学校里的黑人孩子一样，即使没有足够的课本和操场，他们也被教导要珍惜学习，在敬业的黑人学校老师的努力下，进入霍华德大学和斯佩尔曼学院，成为教育家、医生、律师，和法官。 从幼儿园开始，我们就走简单的路。

@R Mabry There wasn't enough space in a short comment to clarify on those details but this wasn't a formal invited delegation. It's more like successive private business trips over years for consulting and ideas exchange, without chaperoning. We could go and say what we wanted. This is another frequent missed point, how much China has changed not only in tech, but in its surprising openness for constructive criticism. Our press too often just slaps the "authoritarian" label on China and equates it with Russia but the two are worlds apart, thus the misconceptions. Ex. on accusations of China subsidizing its green tech and EV's, in fact they've been removing the subsidies as home-grown firms emerge and become profitable, and US firms (incl Tesla) get the same subsidies. In fact in this, China is actually more open in trade than the US has been lately--with massive tariffs on Chinese EV's and green tech products, while China still allows American car and renewables companies to sell there. Their system of govt. is evolving and they learn from us, but pick-and-choose as they too see our flaws. And that "real estate crash" as Western press reported it? That was pragmatic Chinese officials popping a housing bubble to makes homes affordable, a crisis for us in the US and Canada. Again it's generally undeniable how objectively fast China advances, even becoming a regional immigrant magnet so its demographics are also more solid than much of Western media has realized.
' N$ Q* R1 H8 z) v6 m@R马布里 简短的评论中没有足够的空间来澄清这些细节，但这不是一个正式受邀代表团。这更像是多年来连续进行的私人商务旅行，目的是进行咨询和交流想法，没有陪同。我们可以去说我们想说的话。 这是另一个经常被忽视的一点，中国不仅在科技方面发生了巨大的变化，而且在对建设性批评的令人惊讶的开放态度方面也发生了巨大的变化。我们的媒体常常给中国贴上“独裁”标签，并将其与俄罗斯等同起来，但两者是天壤之别，因此产生了误解。 前任。指责中国补贴其绿色科技和电动汽车，事实上，随着本土企业的出现并盈利，他们一直在取消补贴，而美国公司（包括特斯拉）也获得了同样的补贴。事实上，中国的贸易实际上比美国最近更加开放——对中国电动汽车和绿色科技产品征收高额关税，而中国仍然允许美国汽车和可再生能源公司在中国销售。 他们的政府体系。我们正在不断发展，他们向我们学习，但他们也看到了我们的缺陷，因此做出了选择。那么西方媒体报道的“房地产崩盘”呢？这是务实的中国官员为了让人们买得起房而戳破房地产泡沫，这对我们美国和加拿大来说是一场危机。 同样，不可否认的是，中国客观上进步得有多快，甚至成为了地区性的移民磁石，因此其人口结构也比许多西方媒体意识到的更为稳固。

Having experience with both my kids, I can tell you that the school district is a master at making itself look good on paper, while not pushing the students too hard. It was only when my daughter got herself out of high school and into Montgomery College, which had a program for high school sophomores to finish their last two years, did she finally start digging deep, getting serious and raising her grades. Its what saved her. Now she's finishing a bachelors in Mechanical Engineering.

The most insightful, memorable, revelation I learned from the experience was that kids in this premier school, like the ones in the South Jamaica school where I’d spent most of my teaching years, just couldn’t measure using the United States Customary Systems! The inch and fractional parts, as well as computing metric equivalents were as foreign as Mandarin! How can we expect students in this country to “measure-up” to their Chinese counterparts if they haven’t even mastered the technological basics? Though long retired, I still bemoan the shuttering of those “hands-on” shops that were in the process of evolving into classrooms centered on problem solving! Definitely a shortsighted development in educating a technology capable population!

1 I' u. ?. s9 Q3 @0 q1 i@Bob Great points here and to follow, I'd say an esp important and concerning advantage for China (since we'd need deep reforms in failing US structures to address it) is their advanced industrial policy, ironically a la Adam smith, to minimize wasteful rent seeking costs while focussing on production, innovation and added value. This I feel like, is another key element to appreciate Keith's excellent article, it helps to explain a lot of why China has such a huge cost and quality advantage now. Too often Western (and esp the US and UK) media just attaches that to cheap labor (even calling it forced), but that's just not the reality anymore. Chinese workers are well paid now with much lower living costs (it's why China now has the world's biggest economy by far in GDP PPP terms, that corrects for purchase power). Instead, China's cost advantage now comes from vertical integration, heavy automation and less expensive consumer options--ex. alternatives to even major computer OS (Harmony) and word-processing software that's open-source and doesn't require costly subscriptions. But above all China has lower fixed business costs with ex. universal healthcare, lower university tuition and housing costs. The USA is less competitive now due to our high costs for healthcare, college, homes and childcare (unnecessarily high, as they extract without value) worsening cost-of-living. Higher salaries don't mean higher purchase power, and these fixed costs hurt our competitiveness.
2 Q; q/ F" U" }$ ~& H@Bob 这里和接下来的要点，我想说的是，对中国来说，一个特别重要且令人担忧的优势（因为我们需要对失败的美国结构进行深入改革来解决这个问题）是他们先进的产业政策，具有讽刺意味的是，亚当·斯密，以最大限度地减少浪费寻租成本，同时专注于生产、创新和附加值。 我觉得这是欣赏基思这篇优秀文章的另一个关键要素，它有助于解释为什么中国现在拥有如此巨大的成本和质量优势。西方（尤其是美国和英国）媒体常常将其与廉价劳动力联系起来（甚至称其为强迫），但这已不再是现实。中国工人现在的工资很高，生活成本也低得多（这就是为什么中国现在是迄今为止世界上最大的经济体，以GDP购买力平价计算，修正了购买力）。 相反，中国的成本优势现在来自垂直整合、高度自动化和更便宜的消费者选择——例如。甚至是主流计算机操作系统（Harmony）和文字处理软件的替代品，这些软件是开源的，不需要昂贵的订阅。 但最重要的是，中国的固定业务成本较低。全民医疗保健、降低大学学费和住房成本。美国现在的竞争力下降，因为我们的医疗保健、大学、家庭和儿童保育成本高昂（不必要地高，因为它们没有价值），导致生活成本恶化。更高的工资并不意味着更高的购买力，这些固定成本损害了我们的竞争力。

5 G7 `; j8 \; m$ x8 x/ A9 C& M@Martin M See my elaboration above on this, I just didn't have space in the original comment so I followed up with another. It wasn't a formal delegation, there were no handlers or chaperones and we could go places and say things without restrictions--"delegation" was used in broad sense here, as a private group doing consultancy and exchanging ideas, so we could observe the changes over years on several trips. I think sometimes too much is made of the idea that guests are shown supervised, carefully managed views of China when this is absolutely not the case, at least not anymore. There's such massive movement in and out of China it wouldn't be doable anyway, but in general people are allowed to see the good bad and ugly, including in the less developed small towns which are still sometimes behind, but being advanced very quickly. China's system of government again, is evolving and hard to describe, it's really unique among the systems of the world. It obviously does have some authoritarian elements but also some surprisingly democratic and open elements, including village and district level elections. Chinese people regularly criticize and make suggestions on Weibo and other platforms (or open protests like we saw with Covid), and even annoyances like the internet firewall can be fairly easily bypassed with a VPN. It's useful to remember China is governed by engineers and researchers, who are interested in the open feedback to improve.
@马丁M 请参阅上面我对此的阐述，我只是在原始评论中没有空间，所以我跟进了另一个。这不是一个正式的代表团，没有牵线人或陪同人员，我们可以不受限制地去哪里说话——这里的“代表团”是广义的，作为一个私人团体进行咨询和交流，所以我们可以观察多年来几次旅行的变化。 我认为，有时候，人们对中国的看法是受到监督和精心管理的，而事实绝对不是这样，至少现在不是这样。中国进出如此大规模的运动，无论如何都是不可能的，但总的来说，人们被允许看到好的、坏的和丑陋的，包括在欠发达的小城镇，它们有时仍然落后，但进步很快。 中国的政府体系又在不断发展，难以描述，在世界体系中确实是独一无二的。它显然确实有一些专制成分，但也有一些令人惊讶的民主和开放成分，包括村级和区级选举。中国人经常在微博和其他平台上提出批评和建议（或者像我们在新冠疫情中看到的公开抗议），甚至像互联网防火墙这样的烦恼也可以通过 VPN 轻松绕过。 记住中国是由工程师和研究人员统治的，他们对公开反馈和改进感兴趣，这一点很有用。

& w* j& o0 a' a@TC While we hear of "wokeness" in our universities and some of the problems that have been attributed to it, we still produce engineers, mathematicians, and, of course, still teach how to think critically. Those institutions also have substantial enrollments of students from China and India as well. The focus on wokeness which has, perhaps brought a needed reevaluation and claw back, nonetheless, is part of a more insidious attack on our higher education because, while it is a piece of the picture, it has been skillfully exploited by those wishing to promote the notion that our universities are the sole bastion of liberal, progressive, Democrats. a view, ironically, promogulated by some of its own graduates (you know, the nonelite ones - sarcasm) who have, unabashed, used it to promote the very tribalism you mention, as a springboard to advance their own careers and political capital. This is how we end up with politicians at the top of our leadership suggesting we inject bleach into our bodies to cure Covid, and not surprisingly, plenty of people who see no problem with that.
@TC 虽然我们在大学里听说过“觉醒”以及由此引发的一些问题，但我们仍然培养工程师、数学家，当然，仍然教授如何批判性思考。这些机构还招收了大量来自中国和印度的学生。然而，对觉醒的关注也许带来了必要的重新评估和挽回，这是对我们高等教育的更阴险攻击的一部分，因为虽然它只是其中的一部分，但它已被那些希望促进高等教育的人巧妙地利用了。我们的大学是自由派、进步派、民主党人的唯一堡垒。具有讽刺意味的是，这种观点是由它自己的一些毕业生（你知道，非精英人士 - 讽刺）宣扬的，他们毫不掩饰地利用它来促进你提到的部落主义，作为推进自己的职业和政治资本的跳板。这就是为什么我们最终会得到领导层政客的建议，建议我们向体内注射漂白剂来治愈新冠病毒，毫不奇怪，很多人认为这没有问题。

/ U6 J% z) @9 _6 K! y@Radek This issue with comparative US costs is not limited to China. It's similar when we compare the US with most of our peer nations. Here, there are sticky fingers in every piece of the pie and all are reluctant to let go because this is how they survive economically. Hanging on to the US status quo when it comes to metrics like healthcare, education, childcare, education, and, yes, even social housing is surprisingly easy: Americans are eager and willing to suspend disbelief when the magic words (Socialism! Communism! Marxism!) are invoked. We've been trained to years to accept being more stressed and less competitive in the global economy to avoid the horror of Socialism here at home. It's akin to cutting off your nose to spite your face. And some politicians still make hay out of fulminating by threatening to reverse the few paltry successes we've managed to achieve on this front. It is not just STEM subjects that suffer in our system: we are largely unskilled and unwilling to observe analyze, or even think - skills necessary for all walks of life.

That real estate crash, like every real estate crash everywhere (the seeds for the Great Recession were laid over a decade before from policy initiatives during the Clinton administration) is still ongoing. China is funding this push on a mountain of debt. That debt mountain is real, and will have consequences. The Chinese go to great lengths to disguise how much they are borrowing, most of it is shoved onto the books of provincial local governments. The piper will have to be paid.

@Eddy I addressed these points in follow-up comments so here some summaries, as objective as possible. We can't get stuck in echo chambers or old tropes because this is a very formidable and uniquely structured nation that defies our categories of governance in the West. esp in the US with America's polarized left right ideologies. The best description I can give for China's system is pragmatic and meritocratic, evolution of an ancient system 1000's of years old from its earliest foundation (as a unified state with merit-selected bureaucrats) by the first Qin emperor Shi-Huang-Di around 200 B.C. True there are some authoritarian characteristics to modern China, but also democratic ones usu. overlooked, like district elections and heavy citizen feedback that isn't censored (on ex. Weibo or even protests as with Covid). Leadership advancement is merit-based and local officials must win popular support to get promoted. China has dozens of national minorities and I won't pretend to be an expert, but for ex. Uyghurs and Tibetans were exempted from One Child policy and other restrictions while they and their communities have official protections--more than ex. many indigenous native American tribes have gotten in the USA. from the initial Anglo settlements up to the modern day. Again there's a lot to get into there but this goes against many of the accusations in Western press. (And One Child policy wasn't even much enforced anywhere i China outside of a few big cities)
- f1 c( V3 W9 o6 F5 g' O( u3 ]4 ?@Eddy 我在后续评论中阐述了这些观点，因此这里做了一些尽可能客观的总结。我们不能陷入回音室或旧比喻，因为这是一个非常强大且结构独特的国家，它违背了我们西方的治理类别。尤其是在美国，美国的左右两极分化的意识形态。 对于中国的制度，我能给出的最好的描述就是务实和贤能，这是一个具有 1000 年历史的古老制度的演变，从 200 年左右的秦始皇始皇帝建立（作为一个由选拔官僚的统一国家）开始现代中国确实有一些专制特征，但也有民主特征。被忽视的事情，比如地区选举和未经审查的大量公民反馈（例如微博，甚至是像新冠病毒一样的抗议活动）。领导层的晋升是择优录取的，地方官员的晋升必须赢得民众的支持。 中国有几十个少数民族，我不会假装自己是专家，但对于前来说。维吾尔族和藏族不受独生子女政策和其他限制，而他们和他们的社区则受到官方保护——比以前更多。许多美洲原住民部落已经进入美国。从最初的盎格鲁人定居点一直到现代。同样，这里还有很多值得探讨的地方，但这与西方媒体的许多指控相悖。 （除了几个大城市之外，中国的独生子女政策甚至没有得到太多执行）

@Jj "It became clear long ago that the Chinese were better capitalists that we are." A great sum-up statement and we saw this too. It really is an irony that the Chinese are a lot closer to the spirit of industrial style capitalism that Adam Smith supported, while ex. the US and Canada seem to be drifting more into the cronyism, rent seek capitalism that Smith warned against. A lot of it due to disasters like Citizen's United from the Supreme Court that practically legalize bribery, or the way ex. our housing bubble in the US, college, childcare and healthcare suck out so much in costs without comparable value. (Lowest life expectancy in advanced world despite highest healthcare costs) It's big part of why China is able to offer similar or higher quality goods and services compared to the US, but much lower prices and thus far more competitive than American companies now. Their fixed business costs are lower, and their workers (with better wages) have lower living costs and higher purchase power. A broader point here, my group really aren't fans or critics of China, we're techies who call it like we see it, and China is badly misunderstood partly since so few Americans speak Mandarin. while more Chinese as you say are multilingual and "get" countries of the West. As a silver lining, China doesn't really pose a threat of "exporting" competing values or governing systems since its system is so unique--an ancient, evolving Confucian based meritocracy, a sui generus form
@Jj “很久以前就很明显，中国人是比我们更好的资本家。” 这是一个很棒的总结陈述，我们也看到了这一点。具有讽刺意味的是，中国人更接近亚当·斯密所支持的工业风格资本主义精神，而前。美国和加拿大似乎更多地陷入了史密斯所警告的任人唯亲、寻租资本主义。其中很大一部分是由于最高法院的“公民联合”这样的灾难，实际上使贿赂合法化，或者前一种方式。美国的房地产泡沫、大学、儿童保育和医疗保健消耗了大量成本，而没有可比价值。 （尽管医疗费用最高，但发达国家的预期寿命最低） 这就是为什么中国能够提供与美国类似或更高质量的商品和服务，但价格却低得多，因此比美国公司更具竞争力的一个重要原因。他们的固定商业成本较低，工人（工资较高）的生活成本较低，购买力较高。 更广泛的一点是，我的团队确实不是中国的粉丝或批评者，我们是技术人员，他们以我们所看到的方式称呼它，而中国被严重误解，部分原因是很少有美国人会说普通话。而正如你所说，更多的中国人会说多种语言，并且“了解”西方国家。一线希望是，中国并没有真正构成“输出”竞争价值观或治理体系的威胁，因为它的制度是如此独特——一种古老的、不断发展的以儒家为基础的精英政治，一种自成一体的形式

It's almost impossible for a nation that has been as successful as the U.S. has been in science and technology-- e.g. the first in flight, the first to develop nuclear weapons, the only nation to put a man on the moon, the first to develop the internet... such a nation is inevitably going to become lazy and over-confident. But in a hard-scrabble nation like China-- give the population a stable government and half-a-chance, and they'll do great things.

@Paul The scale of research is just incomprehensible to outsiders. I was last year in a conference on automotive technologies and presented on the opening day. It was the first conference in China in this domain since COVID and the attendance was still controlled. There were about 400 researchers and industry representatives in the hall, but it was streamed online, freely accessible to researchers, industry and students. To my astonishment they had at a peak 80,000 attendees online, mainly students. In my field of work, most IEEE papers are written by Chinese authors. Even from North American Universities (and Canada seems to have more papers than the US), most authors are Chinese. Another comment: the article refers to the number of undergraduate and postgraduate students in the US compared with China. What it does not mention is that postgraduate students in US Universities have a large number from China and India among them.

. w0 Q% q  v% bI encounter many public school teachers and paraprofessionals in my daily work in Upstate NY. I’d wager that 35 percent are working in either special education, speech pathology, basic literacy support, one-on-one assistance or counseling. What has happened to our school system to orient so much of our resources to remedial teaching and social services. From what I hear students also get minimal homework, there is little accountability and grade inflation is a given. Why has this happened and is it really helping? Based on test scores I don’t think so.

I've worked in technology since the 1970s, when I opened one of the first desk-top computer stores in the USA. The only people I could find to work for me then, that knew anything at all about these new devices, were all from the local high-school computer club! Since then I've had the same experience with men and women from India and China. They are sharp as a tack, driven to succeed, and also a lot of fun to be around. They are usually folks you would love to have as your neighbors. I'm also a classical musician, and the same thing is happening there too. At least in the San Francisco Bay Area, many of the very best musicians are from Asia, China mostly! And again, sitting in the violin section of an orchestra is a lot of fun with my Asia friends around. Oh, and I'm Irish and Jewish myself. We all get along great! I'm looking forward to more collaboration between the USA and China and all the Asia countries, as well as our great and smart European friends too (especially in the area of global warming). Life is too short not to.
自 20 世纪 70 年代以来，我就一直从事技术工作，当时我在美国开设了第一家台式电脑商店。当时我能找到的唯一为我工作、对这些新设备一无所知的人都来自当地的高中计算机俱乐部！ 从那时起，我与来自印度和中国的男人和女人有了同样的经历。他们头脑敏锐，追求成功，而且和他们在一起也很有趣。他们通常是您希望成为邻居的人。 我也是一名古典音乐家，同样的事情也发生在那里。至少在旧金山湾区，许多最优秀的音乐家都来自亚洲，其中大部分来自中国！再说一遍，和我的亚洲朋友一起坐在管弦乐队的小提琴部分很有趣。哦，我自己是爱尔兰人和犹太人。我们都相处得很好！ 我期待着美国和中国以及所有亚洲国家以及我们伟大而聪明的欧洲朋友之间有更多的合作（特别是在全球变暖领域）。生命太短了，不能这样。

@SDaley There’s an unstated racism which permeates our attitudes. I recall hearing many years ago that Asians - i.e. Chinese and Indians could only perform rote tasks and were not imaginative. Also, they were proficient in playing music only because they had memorized the notes, but had no expressiveness because they did not “feel” the music.

@Ann By coincidence, I was reporting on Wednesday elsewhere in China at a high school. Even though now is summer vacation, many students were there. The rising seniors are already studying full time over the summer before their final year of high school to prepare for their college entrance exams, which in China are a very comprehensive test of knowledge in a wide range of subjects. Also there were younger students preparing advanced chemistry projects for science fairs.
@Ann 巧合的是，周三我在中国其他地方的一所高中进行报道。虽然现在是暑假，但还是有很多学生。即将升入高中的高年级学生已经在高中最后一年之前的暑假进行全日制学习，为高考做准备，在中国，高考是对广泛学科知识的非常全面的测试。还有一些年轻的学生正在为科学博览会准备高级化学项目。

@me they also have 3-4 times our population. I keep on seeing (bots?) spamming these factoids as if it means something profound instead of being (mainly) a function of population size and massive investment by America into the country. For example, India has more English speakers than America as well, but not as many billionaires. America did not pour trillions into India, but did into China. Huh wonder if there is a connection between that fact and to those factoids?

@CJL I don't think it's a valid analysis to compare Indian and Chinese or other hard working ambitious cultures to say they are necessarily " learning these behaviors " from the United States. These cultures already have a huge hard work ethic for centuries which now given globalization are manifesting themselves in science and technology especially in application of such knowledge for practical use. The article fails to mention that many of these countries have an academic strategy usually led by public universities and government industrial policies. The other factor not mentioned are the sheer numbers of scientists which India and China produce given their enormous populations of more than or near three billion people.
@CJL 我不认为比较印度和中国或其他勤奋雄心勃勃的文化的有效分析说他们一定是从美国“学习这些行为”。几个世纪以来，这些文化已经具有巨大的勤奋工作道德，现在全球化正在科学和技术中体现出来，特别是在将这些知识应用于实际用途方面。文章没有提及其中许多国家都有通常由公立大学和政府产业政策主导的学术战略。另一个没有提到的因素是，鉴于印度和中国拥有超过或接近三十亿的庞大人口，两国培养的科学家数量之多。

# ?7 o5 k1 S0 _) d2 J1 A2 C@Radek The West has certainly underestimated China in the automotive sector, and arguably in research and development more broadly. Most foreign auto executives left China during the pandemic, and did not see the progress that was being made. Engineers at Chinese companies kept working hard on new designs, particularly electric car designs, throughout the pandemic. As foreign executives have returned to China over the past year and a half, they have found the Chinese industry to have become much more competitive and innovative than they expected.
@Radek 西方肯定低估了中国在汽车领域的表现，可以说在更广泛的研发领域也低估了中国。大多数外国汽车高管在疫情期间离开了中国，并没有看到中国正在取得的进展。在整个大流行期间，中国公司的工程师一直在努力进行新设计，特别是电动汽车设计。随着外国高管在过去一年半的时间里回到中国，他们发现中国的产业比他们预想的更具竞争力和创新性。

; c1 _9 }. `# v5 v8 s* G+ W4 ?As a teacher, what is extremely concerning is this trend coupled with the fact that most students that we are producing in the US are functionally illiterate. Even when they can decode the words, many of them can’t comprehend what they read whatsoever. We have enabled a culture where parents are not expected to engage with and raise their children and every aspect of child-rearing is dumped on underfunded and understaffed schools. Furthermore, we allow (Chinese) apps like TikTok to take up a majority of a child’s day, decimating their ability to process real information and pushing destabilizing “trends” like “destroy the school bathroom challenge” and “punch the teacher challenge”. Chinese students are going to be able to outpace us in every way because there is no real competition. Our society and culture has been broken to a sickening degree in which learning is not the main goal of schools, parents who don’t read to their kids or teach them social skills is normalized, and allowing them to waste away on iPads is acceptable. We did this to ourselves, and China is smart to capitalize on it.
& W. n1 h1 [; E4 ~3 L4 |+ i7 q作为一名教师，最令人担忧的是这种趋势，加上我们在美国培养的大多数学生都是功能性文盲。即使他们能够解读这些单词，他们中的许多人也无法理解他们所读到的内容。我们创造了一种文化，在这种文化中，父母不应该参与和抚养孩子，养育孩子的各个方面都被倾销给资金不足和人手不足的学校。此外，我们允许像 TikTok 这样的（中国）应用程序占据孩子一天的大部分时间，削弱他们处理真实信息的能力，并推动“破坏学校厕所挑战”和“打击老师挑战”等不稳定的“趋势”。中国学生将能够在各方面超过我们，因为没有真正的竞争。我们的社会和文化已经被破坏到了令人作呕的程度，学习不再是学校的主要目标，家长不给孩子读书或教他们社交技能已成为常态，允许他们在 iPad 上浪费时间是可以接受的。我们对自己做了这件事，而中国很聪明地利用了这一点。

( j+ A+ o4 r* i) k' U5 `6 Q@Ann By coincidence, I was reporting on Wednesday elsewhere in China at a high school. Even though now is summer vacation, many students were there. The rising seniors are already studying full time over the summer before their final year of high school to prepare for their college entrance exams, which in China are a very comprehensive test of knowledge in a wide range of subjects. Also there were younger students preparing advanced chemistry projects for science fairs.

While we built 14-billion-dollar aircraft carriers and 250 million fighter jets that are too expensive to maintain they build science labs. Not to mention a great deal of chips to power our Military Industrial Complex. The old story about Guns or Butter is true. We would rather maintain forces in a hundred countries around the world and play cop for Europe while China builds roads in Africa and the Caribbean. Now that their technology has almost made our Aircraft Carriers no more than big targets what do we do. We could wake up and smell the coffee and start educating our children not on a system that rewards class and privilege. All of the masters of the universe need not come from the Ivy Towers.

At least in New York City, a lot -- and I mean a lot -- of funding for education is thrown away on futile remedial programs for students who just cannot or absolutely will not learn. Such students would do better were we to guide them into non-academic courses. It isn't as though we cannot use craftsmen and draftsmen, or electricians. The money would be better used to get motivated, able, but needy students over whatever small learning hump they have. They would do well. Doing so would be an excellent use of money. Then there are places like Stuyvesant and Bronx Science. The effort to water down our best high schools in the name of equity is unbelievably misguided and counterproductive. Some kids can fly, and others cannot. We need to help them all where they are. Putting kids into schools in which they can never excel is cruel both to them and to those students whose quick progress is impeded by those who cannot keep up. For students who absolutely will not be helped but prefer to engage in behavior not compatible with civilized living, and we know very well that these are the students whose behavior interferes with the learning of their classmates, well, why are we wasting funds trying to get them into college?
至少在纽约市，很多——我的意思是很多——教育资金被浪费在了针对那些无法或绝对不会学习的学生的徒劳的补习计划上。如果我们引导这些学生学习非学术课程，他们会做得更好。我们并不是不能使用工匠、制图员或电工。 这笔钱最好用来激励那些有动力、有能力但有需要的学生，以克服他们在学习上遇到的任何小困难。他们会做得很好。这样做将是一种很好的资金利用方式。 还有像史岱文森 (Stuyvesant) 和布朗克斯科学 (Bronx Science) 这样的地方。以公平的名义淡化我们最好的高中的努力是令人难以置信的误导和适得其反的。有些孩子会飞，有些则不能。我们需要在他们所在的地方为他们提供帮助。让孩子们进入他们永远无法出类拔萃的学校，对他们和那些因跟不上进度而阻碍快速进步的学生来说都是残酷的。 对于那些绝对不会得到帮助却宁愿做出与文明生活不相容的行为的学生，我们深知这些学生的行为干扰了同学的学习，那么，我们为什么要浪费资金试图去解决这些问题呢？他们进入大学？

@Radek Learning Mandarin is fine. Making sure our children learn to sound out words, read, and learn math would be better. Getting an education takes hard work. When parents do not teach their children patience, perseverance, and a modicum of good manners, there can be no learning: Teachers will have a difficult time doing anything but trying to keep order in their classrooms. When the educational establishment prioritizes fun in the place of actual learning, which requires application and concentration, because a proportion of parents are derelict, our schools are lost. Please do not blame "bad schools" on poverty. Places like Stuyvesant and Bronx Science are filled with poor students who are immigrants, or whose parents are immigrants who work two and three jobs, but who understand that education takes effort and whose parents have instilled in them a work ethic. Similar to those Black children in segregated schools who, even without adequate text books and playing fields, were taught to cherish learning, were worked hard by dedicated Black schoolteachers, and went on to Howard University and Spelman College and became educators, physicians, lawyers, and judges. From kindergarten upwards, we have taken the easy way.
8 @8 E% W. {- a( }2 m9 a/ \@Radek 学普通话还是不错的。确保我们的孩子学会发音、阅读和学习数学会更好。 接受教育需要艰苦的努力。如果父母不教导孩子耐心、毅力和一点点良好的举止，就不可能学到东西：老师除了努力维持课堂秩序之外，什么都做不了。 当教育机构将乐趣置于需要应用和集中注意力的实际学习之上时，由于一部分家长的疏忽，我们的学校就迷失了。 请不要将“糟糕的学校”归咎于贫困。像史岱文森和布朗克斯科学这样的地方充满了贫穷的移民学生，或者他们的父母是打两份或三份工作的移民，但他们明白教育需要付出努力，而且他们的父母向他们灌输了职业道德。 就像那些在种族隔离学校里的黑人孩子一样，即使没有足够的课本和操场，他们也被教导要珍惜学习，在敬业的黑人学校老师的努力下，进入霍华德大学和斯佩尔曼学院，成为教育家、医生、律师，和法官。 从幼儿园开始，我们就走简单的路。

Our problem is not science education, but our culture. America is a commercial culture and in most parts of the country, religiously Christian. As such, our society extols the business-person, and values most the skills that are associated with that occupation. The commercial culture is why there is an over-riding emphasis on sports and interpersonal skills in our schools. STEM is viewed as incidental in such a culture, something workers do, not leaders. Religious fundamentalism is part of a disdain for science here, as the two are incompatible. This is integral to industry as well. What society values is reflected in how business chooses its leaders. Despite vague claims of "problem-solving" skills, there is no stress on critical thinking. In fact, being a critical thinker is a trait of someone who "rocks the boat." It is also at odds with conservatism. America's cultural roots are in the Reformation, where Calvinism forged a nexus of religion with business. We're seeing the limits of what a society with that ethos can do. It works well for low-tech, production-oriented societies. East Asia does not have that cultural baggage, so they are positioned to excel. We saw that threat with Japan in the 1980s, and now with China today. East Asian culture has its advantages, but America is now too conservative to learn from them.
* A9 i& w3 Y" W+ X: k; _+ l我们的问题不是科学教育，而是我们的文化。美国是一种商业文化，全国大部分地区信奉基督教。因此，我们的社会推崇商人，并且最重视与该职业相关的技能。商业文化是我们学校非常重视体育和人际交往能力的原因。在这样的文化中，STEM 被视为偶然，是工人而不是领导者所做的事情。宗教原教旨主义是对科学的蔑视，因为两者是不相容的。 这也是工业不可或缺的一部分。社会的价值观反映在企业如何选择领导人上。尽管模糊地声称“解决问题”的能力，但并不强调批判性思维。事实上，批判性思考者是“破坏现状”的人的一个特质。这也与保守主义相悖。 美国的文化根源在于宗教改革，加尔文主义在宗教改革中建立了宗教与商业的联系。我们看到了具有这种精神的社会所能做的事情的局限性。它非常适合低技术、生产导向型社会。东亚没有这种文化包袱，因此他们有能力脱颖而出。我们在 20 世纪 80 年代看到了日本面临的威胁，现在又看到了中国的威胁。东亚文化有其优点，但美国现在太保守了，无法向其学习。

This is not an education problem. Yes, we need to improve schooling. But we need to create (go back?) to a manufacturing economy that gives STEM graduates a place to work. Why go the trouble of an engineering degree if you can't find a job? Intel is having a tough time: just laid off 10,000 chip workers! (oh, and the CEO made $179,000,000) God forbid the CEO, et al, take a haircut and save the workers (and their institutional knowledge).  We need to create an economy in which long-term investment is seen as a good idea even if it is a drag on quarterly profits. Remember Bell Labs?
这不是教育问题。 是的，我们需要改善学校教育。 但我们需要创建（回到？）制造业经济，为 STEM 毕业生提供工作场所。 如果你找不到工作，为什么要费力去攻读工程学位呢？ 英特尔日子不好过：刚刚裁掉1万名芯片工人！ （哦，首席执行官赚了 179,000,000 美元） 上帝禁止首席执行官等人理发并拯救工人（以及他们的机构知识）。 我们需要创造一种长期投资被视为好主意的经济，即使它会拖累季度利润。还记得贝尔实验室吗？

I'm surprised to read this article, since one of the main narratives Western media has pushed over the years to discredit China's successes is that those successes have come only from rampant copyright infringement and the copying of Western ideas/know-how. As the article shows, China today is more than capable of leading fields the U.S. cannot lead. Overall, I think this has a positive impact for all parts involved. The fact that China can be a world leader when it comes to battery research means the U.S. can continue being a world leader when it comes to intersectional gender studies, for example.
" S2 n, n$ O4 M* I2 }2 B( k我很惊讶地读到这篇文章，因为多年来西方媒体一直在抹黑中国的成功的主要叙述之一是，这些成功仅来自猖獗的版权侵权和对西方思想/技术的抄袭。 正如文章所示，今天的中国完全有能力领导美国无法领导的领域。 总的来说，我认为这对所有涉及的部分都有积极的影响。例如，中国在电池研究方面可以成为世界领先者，这意味着美国可以在跨性别研究方面继续成为世界领先者。

Hate to break it to you, but this has all been true for nearly a decade. Nice to see the ASPI getting a namecheck, as they produce excellent analysis of their closer neighbor, but none of this is news. It is vitally important though, but Americans simply refuse to listen, and US politicians obviously aren’t paid (off) to do what’s needed to protect our interests. China set out its intent to overtake the US in high tech R&D about thirty years ago, very clearly and publicly. They devoted huge resources to the project, and it has paid off in terms of the citations and patent metrics noted, as well as (more importantly) the creation of industrial, educational, and innovation prowess that should make the US very afraid. India has been trying much the same thing, but with far less success (due to their more chaotic form of government). So what was our collective national response? Was it a national research and industrial policy, of the sort we could imagine Vannevar Bush and Eisenhower might have cooked up? To ensure our safety in key defense technologies (comms, aerospace, materials, computing, etc.) and make us wealthy with new products and industries, by way of a national strategy for industrial R&D…? No - of course not. For decades our political system (all of it, on all sides, while they all just focus on keeping their snouts in the trough) has done absolutely nothing to prevent us slowly but now all of a sudden becoming the economic vasals of a foreign power.
1 E% H$ O! b- Y不想向你透露，但这近十年来都是如此。很高兴看到 ASPI 获得命名，因为他们对近邻进行了出色的分析，但这都不是新闻。虽然这非常重要，但美国人就是拒绝倾听，而且美国政客显然没有得到报酬来采取保护我们利益所需的行动。 大约三十年前，中国非常明确、公开地表达了在高科技研发方面超越美国的意图。他们为该项目投入了大量资源，并在引用和专利指标方面取得了回报，以及（更重要的是）创造了让美国感到非常恐惧的工业、教育和创新实力。印度一直在尝试同样的事情，但收效甚微（由于其政府形式更加混乱）。 那么我们的全国集体反应是什么？这是我们想象中万尼瓦尔·布什和艾森豪威尔可能制定的那种国家研究和产业政策吗？通过国家工业研发战略，确保我们在关键国防技术（通信、航空航天、材料、计算等）方面的安全，并通过新产品和新产业使我们致富……？ 不——当然不是。几十年来，我们的政治体系（所有方面，所有方面，而他们都只是专注于将自己的鼻子放在低谷中）绝对没有采取任何措施来阻止我们慢慢地但现在突然成为外国势力的经济附庸。

The US Congress has consistently, for years, CUT science funding. The US used to lead in research, in patents, in science... But that has long gone. The value of the US funding scientific research once led to all kinds of scientific and technological advance. Now long gone. Often science graduate students have to find their own research money BEFORE they can enter grad school – a near impossible situation. Therefore, the number of graduate students in sciences, engineering, and math is greatly reduced. And many cannot find jobs in their field. Instead, they take their analytical skills to Wall Street and the like. Congressional cuts leads to the result that US suffers long-term consequence.
3 ?4 K0 g. t2 }多年来，美国国会一直削减科学经费。美国曾经在研究、专利、科学方面处于领先地位……但这种情况早已不复存在。 美国资助科学研究的价值一度带动了各种科技进步。现在早已不复存在了。 通常，理科研究生在进入研究生院之前必须找到自己的研究资金——这几乎是不可能的情况。 因此，科学、工程和数学专业的研究生数量大大减少。许多人无法在自己的领域找到工作。相反，他们将分析技能运用到华尔街等地方。 国会削减开支导致美国遭受长期后果。

# T$ c& g; n8 G( K& O4 ~@paul You make very good points. The United States has invested heavily in pharmaceuticals research. But as the Australian Strategic Policy Institute found in its broad review of technologies, China now leads in many fields. Chemistry, long a priority, has emerged as a particular area of strength. The chemistry department at Central South University in Changsha, which I visited, was immense. And there are similar chemistry departments at dozens of large universities in China. The only category identified by the Australian institute in which China is even more dominant globally in published papers than in battery chemistry was in hypersonics, a field used in the design of ballistic missiles. Graduates of Chinese chemistry programs earn half or less of what newly minted American chemical engineers earn. A Chinese graduate with a masters in chemistry can earn $25,000 to $40,000 a year straight out of school while a graduate with a doctorate in chemistry earns more like $55,000. But the cost of living is also much lower. A studio apartment in Changsha, a hub of the chemicals industry, rents for as little as $140 a month, and a spacious two-bedroom apartment is double that. Zoning regulations in China strongly encourage the construction of high-rises. That has meant a vast supply of apartments, which has kept rents down. A bubble in apartment prices has recently burst, however.
; @# V" B7 ~+ Z' j@paul你的观点非常好。美国在药物研究方面投入巨资。但正如澳大利亚战略政策研究所在对技术的广泛审查中发现的那样，中国现在在许多领域处于领先地位。化学长期以来一直是一个优先领域，现已成为一个特殊的优势领域。 我参观过的长沙中南大学化学系规模很大。中国数十所大型大学也设有类似的化学系。澳大利亚研究所发现，中国在全球发表的论文中比电池化学更占主导地位的唯一类别是高超音速技术，这是一个用于弹道导弹设计的领域。 中国化学专业毕业生的收入只有美国新化学工程师收入的一半或更少。一名拥有化学硕士学位的中国毕业生毕业后每年可赚取 25,000 至 40,000 美元，而拥有化学博士学位的毕业生每年可赚取 55,000 美元左右。 但生活成本也低得多。在化学工业中心长沙，一套单间公寓的租金仅为每月 140 美元，而宽敞的两居室公寓的租金是这个价格的两倍。中国的分区法规大力鼓励高层建筑的建设。这意味着大量的公寓供应，从而压低了租金。然而，公寓价格泡沫最近破裂了。

One thing the article points out (for those who did read it), is that government research subsidies help China become a leader in technology. This is a "liberal" idea which has also had great success in the US on those occasions when republicans couldn't stop it. Meanwhile, Trump promises things like Foxconn, which turn out to be failures. Republicans say they support manufacturing, but do not actually "walk the walk". But sure, let those anti-education, anti-research cheats influence and limit your thinking.
文章指出的一件事（对于那些读过它的人）是，政府研究补贴帮助中国成为技术领导者。 这是一个“自由主义”的想法，在美国共和党无法阻止的情况下也取得了巨大成功。 与此同时，特朗普承诺富士康等项目，但结果却失败了。共和党人说他们支持制造业，但实际上并没有“言出必行”。 但当然，让那些反教育、反研究的作弊行为影响和限制你的思维。

" [$ u4 \" S$ l@Jim Little concept called PPP - purchasing power parity. The $5k in China buys a LOT more education than the $15k here. PPP is one big reason, but another is that out of your $15k domestic spend about 65% will actually be paying for ‘overhead’ or other components of (not for) profit in our highly financialized education sector. That’s not the case in China. So the cost/benefit advantage you believe we have is actually reversed and operating to our disadvantage, in real world and PPP terms. That’s what leads to the external metrics like citations, patents, and product innovation / unit production and prices.
@Jim 小概念叫PPP——购买力平价。在中国，5000 美元比在这里的 15000 美元能买到更多的教育。 PPP 是一个重要原因，但另一个原因是，在 15,000 美元的国内支出中，大约 65% 实际上将用于支付我们高度金融化的教育行业的“管理费用”或其他（而非）利润组成部分。中国的情况并非如此。 因此，您认为我们拥有的成本/效益优势实际上是相反的，并且在现实世界和 PPP 方面对我们不利。这就是引文、专利和产品创新/单位产量和价格等外部指标的原因。

+ `0 L$ [1 \# s6 `) a# ^- j@R Mabry There wasn't enough space in a short comment to clarify on those details but this wasn't a formal invited delegation. It's more like successive private business trips over years for consulting and ideas exchange, without chaperoning. We could go and say what we wanted. This is another frequent missed point, how much China has changed not only in tech, but in its surprising openness for constructive criticism. Our press too often just slaps the "authoritarian" label on China and equates it with Russia but the two are worlds apart, thus the misconceptions. Ex. on accusations of China subsidizing its green tech and EV's, in fact they've been removing the subsidies as home-grown firms emerge and become profitable, and US firms (incl Tesla) get the same subsidies. In fact in this, China is actually more open in trade than the US has been lately--with massive tariffs on Chinese EV's and green tech products, while China still allows American car and renewables companies to sell there. Their system of govt. is evolving and they learn from us, but pick-and-choose as they too see our flaws. And that "real estate crash" as Western press reported it? That was pragmatic Chinese officials popping a housing bubble to makes homes affordable, a crisis for us in the US and Canada. Again it's generally undeniable how objectively fast China advances, even becoming a regional immigrant magnet so its demographics are also more solid than much of Western media has realized.
@R马布里 简短的评论中没有足够的空间来澄清这些细节，但这不是一个正式受邀代表团。这更像是多年来连续进行的私人商务旅行，目的是进行咨询和交流想法，没有陪同。我们可以去说我们想说的话。 这是另一个经常被忽视的一点，中国不仅在科技方面发生了巨大的变化，而且在对建设性批评的令人惊讶的开放态度方面也发生了巨大的变化。我们的媒体常常给中国贴上“独裁”标签，并将其与俄罗斯等同起来，但两者是天壤之别，因此产生了误解。 前任。指责中国补贴其绿色科技和电动汽车，事实上，随着本土企业的出现并盈利，他们一直在取消补贴，而美国公司（包括特斯拉）也获得了同样的补贴。事实上，中国的贸易实际上比美国最近更加开放——对中国电动汽车和绿色科技产品征收高额关税，而中国仍然允许美国汽车和可再生能源公司在中国销售。 他们的政府体系。我们正在不断发展，他们向我们学习，但他们也看到了我们的缺陷，因此做出了选择。那么西方媒体报道的“房地产崩盘”呢？这是务实的中国官员为了让人们买得起房而戳破房地产泡沫，这对我们美国和加拿大来说是一场危机。 同样，不可否认的是，中国客观上进步得有多快，甚至成为了地区性的移民磁石，因此其人口结构也比许多西方媒体意识到的更为稳固。

The cost of higher education in the US is a real issue. In China, the annual cost is less than 10,000 yuan ($1,500) for most universities, including the best ones like Tsinghua University and Beijing University. In the US, a state university may cost more than $30,000, and a private university may have double the cost. Student debt is not an issue in China, as almost all Chinese students graduate debt free from colleges.

For the past 15 years I have taught graduate level physiological chemistry in China. The unit where I teach always employs a recent US graduate to help the students with their English. Every time I visit that US graduate has the same question "are all Chinese students like this?" They are referring to the fact that these MS and PhD students begin work around 8am, take about 30 minutes off for lunch, take about 30 to 45 minutes playing basket ball or in the gym around 5pm, eat dinner, and then work until 8 or 9pm. The US graduate usually runs conversational English from 8 to 10pm. And this happens 6 days a week, and for some, 7 days. My answer is yes this is typical. In addition, I find most of these students are sponges, they not only come to my lectures they do extensive reading outside of class and pepper me with amazing questions. Truly a delight to teach. Here in the US I am lucky to have 5% of my students with such a work ethic.
在过去的 15 年里，我在中国教授研究生水平的生理化学。我所任教的单位总是聘请一名应届美国毕业生来帮助学生学习英语。每次我去拜访那位美国毕业生时都会问同样的问题“中国学生都是这样吗？”他们指的是这样一个事实：这些硕士和博士生早上 8 点左右开始工作，午餐休息约 30 分钟，下午 5 点左右花 30 到 45 分钟打篮球或去健身房，吃晚饭，然后工作到晚上 8 点或晚上 9 点。这位美国毕业生通常在晚上 8 点到 10 点进行英语会话。这种情况每周发生 6 天，有些人甚至 7 天。我的回答是肯定的，这是典型的。此外，我发现这些学生大多数都是海绵，他们不仅来听我的讲座，还在课外进行广泛的阅读，并向我提出令人惊奇的问题。教书真是一种乐趣。在美国，我很幸运我的学生中有 5% 具有这样的职业道德。

Challenges like affordable housing, birth rates, education, and infrastructure, all have straightforward solutions. These solutions just upset the status quo, pensioners, and a small group of wealthy folks collecting rents. Instead we throw up our hands, say it's hopeless, and blame "the system" or laziness or some other nonsense. I too hope China wakes the West up.

@paul : Worse, our business-people tend to mistreat our STEM people. The latter are viewed as a 'cost-center' in firms that rely on engineering, while production is the 'profit-center.' The exploitation of engineers goes back to the 19th century when Thomas Edison claimed credit for the creations of his nameless staff. In the political realm, the business managers want government subsidies, but hate industrial policy. But when they decide how to spend R&D funds, it typically relates to improving industrial processes in a production context. Now with AI emerging, the business-people will be able to automate much if not most engineering work over time. By the way, if one looks at Musk, he, Edison, and Ford all belong in the same boat - as managers who organize research and engineering to profitable ends. Tesla was the true engineer and inventor.
+ W0 ^/ Z3 Y) A0 R: m* a3 }@paul：更糟糕的是，我们的商人往往会虐待我们的 STEM 人员。后者被视为依赖工程的公司的“成本中心”，而生产则是“利润中心”。对工程师的剥削可以追溯到 19 世纪，当时托马斯·爱迪生 (Thomas Edison) 声称其无名员工的创造归功于他。 在政治领域，企业管理者希望政府补贴，但讨厌产业政策。但当他们决定如何使用研发资金时，通常与改进生产环境中的工业流程有关。 现在，随着人工智能的兴起，随着时间的推移，商界人士将能够实现大部分（如果不是大部分）工程工作的自动化。 顺便说一句，如果人们看看马斯克，就会发现他、爱迪生和福特都属于同一条船——都是为了盈利目的而组织研究和工程的管理者。特斯拉是真正的工程师和发明家。

"A considerably larger share of Chinese students major in science, math and engineering than students in other big countries do." The US will lose our competitive advantage is countless areas unless we replicate this Chinese practice. djt screams at the top of his lungs about imposing trade tariffs on China and while it may make him and his supporters temporarily feel good, tariffs do nothing to solve an underlying problem: America is falling behind in education. djt and his followers decry higher education as "elite". Higher education is essential, not elite, but the followers of djt have no inclination to better themselves and would rather just wear maga hats and howl at the moon. All the while, China is learning. And they mean business.

When I stopped to tell them that in China people were listening and behaved more studiously and respectfully, some kids were in shock and looked at me like I was an aggressor.

@CJL I don't think it's a valid analysis to compare Indian and Chinese or other hard working ambitious cultures to say they are necessarily " learning these behaviors " from the United States. These cultures already have a huge hard work ethic for centuries which now given globalization are manifesting themselves in science and technology especially in application of such knowledge for practical use. The article fails to mention that many of these countries have an academic strategy usually led by public universities and government industrial policies. The other factor not mentioned are the sheer numbers of scientists which India and China produce given their enormous populations of more than or near three billion people.
@CJL 我不认为比较印度和中国或其他勤奋雄心勃勃的文化的有效分析说他们一定是从美国“学习这些行为”。几个世纪以来，这些文化已经具有巨大的勤奋工作道德，现在全球化正在科学和技术中体现出来，特别是在将这些知识应用于实际用途方面。文章没有提及其中许多国家都有通常由公立大学和政府产业政策主导的学术战略。另一个没有提到的因素是，鉴于印度和中国拥有超过或接近三十亿的庞大人口，两国培养的科学家数量之多。

The talented Chinese engineers I worked with had to implement telecom standards in a language in which they were often not fluent. They worked incredibly hard to do this and were quite successful. Prior to 2000, Chinese companies did steal. Huawei was very significantly punished for stealing their IOS from Cisco. Beginning around 2000, China hired Western engineers (like myself) to help them with R&D so they would not have to steal, and they made a huge effort to educate a new generation of excellent and hard-working engineers. During this time the US continued to educate lawyers and social influencers. The notion that China was stealing has persisted long after they stopped. Today, it's quite difficult for them to steal. Who do you steal from when you're the leader in a technology area? Americans seem unwilling to do the hard work of catching up to China in technology. The US answer is trade restrictions and other roadblocks. This will NOT work. The answer is improved education and hard work. Another factor is that, traditionally, the CCP has had many engineers in their ranks. The US has no tradition of an engineering presence on Capitol Hill.

M我是一名美国工程师，大约从 2003 年到 2010 年退休时在华为工作。 与我共事的才华横溢的中国工程师必须用他们通常不流利的语言来实施电信标准。他们非常努力地做到这一点并且非常成功。 2000年之前，中国公司确实偷窃。华为因窃取思科的IOS而受到非常严厉的惩罚。 从2000年左右开始，中国聘请了西方工程师（比如我）来帮助他们进行研发，这样他们就不必偷窃，并且他们付出了巨大的努力来教育新一代优秀和勤奋的工程师。在此期间，美国继续教育律师和社会影响者。 在他们停止偷窃之后很长一段时间，“中国正在偷窃”的观念仍然存在。如今，他们想要偷窃已经相当困难了。当你是某个技术领域的领导者时，你会从谁那里偷东西？ 美国人似乎不愿意在技术上努力追赶中国。美国的答案是贸易限制和其他障碍。 这是行不通的。答案是改善教育和努力工作。 另一个因素是，传统上，中共的队伍中有很多工程师。美国没有在国会山驻扎工程人员的传统。

@Jim Reality check: Education spending is not equal across the states. Arkansas, for example, spends less than $8 K per student annually on education, and a huge portion of that money is spent on sports programs (not PE but rather varsity sports). While varsity sports programs are not mandated by school standards, many high schools spend more education tax money teaching their footballers how to play a better game of ball than they spend on the entire high school student body teaching the basic required courses of history, math, and science (all three combined). We need be aware of not just how much we're spending, but what we're spending it on. No other industrialized nation spends education money on varsity sports programs like the U.S. So while China my be leading in science and engineering, we can boast that our football teams are the best in the world.
@Jim 现实检验：各州的教育支出并不相等。例如，阿肯色州每年在每个学生的教育上花费不到 8,000 美元，其中很大一部分用于体育项目（不是体育，而是大学体育）。虽然学校标准没有强制规定大学体育项目，但许多高中在教足球运动员如何更好地打球上花费的教育税资金，比在整个高中学生群体上教授历史、数学、和科学（三者结合起来）。我们不仅需要知道我们花了多少钱，而且还需要知道我们把钱花在了什么地方。没有其他工业化国家像美国那样将教育资金花在大学体育项目上。因此，虽然中国在科学和工程方面处于领先地位，但我们可以夸耀我们的足球队是世界上最好的。

Having experience with both my kids, I can tell you that the school district is a master at making itself look good on paper, while not pushing the students too hard. It was only when my daughter got herself out of high school and into Montgomery College, which had a program for high school sophomores to finish their last two years, did she finally start digging deep, getting serious and raising her grades. Its what saved her. Now she's finishing a bachelors in Mechanical Engineering.

@Radek Anyone who visits China for a brief time and with an invited delegation is almost certain to return praising the system and attributing to it vision, perspicacity, and long-term planning. I've yet to meet a Chinese official or educator whose children are not abroad to study and in many instances to live. Are these officials and educators mistaken about their own country then? Or is it possible that unless one lives and works in China for an extended time, the views of invited foreigners, however interesting, are incomplete and limited and therefore quite possibly misleading?
@Radek 任何曾短暂访问中国并受邀代表团访问的人几乎肯定会回来赞扬这个体系，并归因于它的远见、洞察力和长期规划。我还没有见过哪个中国官员或教育家的孩子不在国外学习，而且在很多情况下是为了生活。难道这些官员和教育工作者对自己的国家有误解吗？或者说，除非一个人长期在中国生活和工作，否则受邀外国人的观点无论多么有趣，都是不完整和有限的，因此很可能具有误导性？

In China, does tuition at a top notch university cost $50,000 a year? Does getting a doctorate put the student in debt to the tune of $200,000? Are their universities built like fancy country clubs with luxurious amenities and social activities? How much do they spend on school sports compared to research labs? Do their parents drive their kids to soccer practice after school or to music lessons? Do their students brag about belonging to the "I can't do math club" as if there is something wrong or "nerdy" about people who can? The answers to these questions will reveal why China is leading the way to dominating the world in high technology. Not only that, they are leading the world in the manufacture of high technology goods and materials. If they want to build a battery plant, they just build it. Here, a company has to spend years fighting through environmental impact studies, local zoning requirements, politicians for and against, NIMBY citizen groups, and the ever popular, don't ruin my pristine vista crowd. True, we have better labor protections but there it doesn't cost $2000/hr for a doctor. It doesn't cost $10,000/month for medicine. Because of these factors, we will never be able to catch up with China in the ever advancing high tech world. The 20th century was America's century. The 21st will be China's. But we have over 1000 billionaires. Hooray for us!
8 o0 Q/ n. G* P* t在中国，一流大学的学费一年要5万美元吗？获得博士学位是否会让学生背负 20 万美元的债务？他们的大学是否像豪华的乡村俱乐部一样建造，拥有豪华的设施和社交活动？与研究实验室相比，他们在学校体育方面的花费是多少？他们的父母放学后会开车送孩子去参加足球训练或音乐课吗？他们的学生是否会吹嘘属于“我不会做数学俱乐部”，就好像会做数学的人有什么问题或“书呆子”一样？ 这些问题的答案将揭示中国为何在高科技领域引领世界。不仅如此，他们在高科技产品和材料的制造方面处于世界领先地位。 如果他们想建电池厂，那就建吧。在这里，一家公司必须花费数年的时间来应对环境影响研究、当地分区要求、支持和反对的政客、邻避公民团体以及永远受欢迎的“不要破坏我的原始远景”人群。 确实，我们有更好的劳动保护，但那里的医生每小时花费不到 2000 美元。每月的药费不需要 10,000 美元。 由于这些因素，在不断进步的高科技世界中，我们永远无法赶上中国。 20世纪是美国的世纪。 21日将是中国的。但我们有超过 1000 名亿万富翁。我们万岁！

Another thing I will point out, as both a former HS teacher and current professor in the US, is that beyond pushing students into STEM fields, the Chinese school system allows instructors at every level to hold their students accountable. Students there know they must dedicate themselves to their studies and that there are consequences for their actions if they do not or if they slack off. Meanwhile, here in the US, helicopter parents who blame educators for their kid’s poor grades, college administrators who blame educators if a student is upset about their grades, and students who know they can blame educators for their poor performance because they’ve had parents like this and they have administrators like this who allow students to skate by without learning a thing. Parents want their little Angel to get good grades, but the kids leave classes with no knowledge of the subject, and administrators want butts in seats so they can collect tuition money, so the kids get passed through no matter how they act or what quality of work they turn in. Until educators in the US are allowed to hold students accountable again, this is only going to get worse.
/ o4 m2 M4 y1 Y; _) v9 q. m作为一名前高中教师和现任美国教授，我要指出的另一件事是，除了推动学生进入 STEM 领域之外，中国的学校体系还允许各个级别的教师让学生承担责任。那里的学生知道他们必须全身心投入学习，如果不这样做或懈怠，他们的行为就会产生后果。 与此同时，在美国，直升机父母将孩子成绩不佳归咎于教育工作者，大学管理人员如果学生对自己的成绩感到不安，则将责任归咎于教育工作者，而学生则知道他们可以将自己表现不佳的原因归咎于教育工作者，因为他们有父母就像这样，他们有这样的管理员，他们允许学生滑行而不学任何东西。家长希望他们的小天使取得好成绩，但孩子们离开课堂时对学科一无所知，管理员希望他们坐在座位上，这样他们就可以收取学费，所以孩子们无论表现如何，素质如何，都能通过。他们上交的工作。 在美国的教育工作者被允许再次让学生承担责任之前，这种情况只会变得更糟。

Instead of spending money and resources on football stadiums and sports, we need to devote more time and effort to encouraging students to study math and sciences. We need to make heroes of our young scientists instead of the high school athlete or musician or actor. We need to promote the reality that math, science and education is what is needed to keep our country strong. We having been failing to do so for a long time. We may lead the world in Nobel Prize winners but how many of those people are immigrants and not native born? It speaks volumes of our educational system.

@d No one wants to be a teacher these days because they do not make any money. They have limited recourses and very limited technical support. I am guessing that middle school and high school science labs have not changed much in 40 years. When I went to HS out side of Chicago 50 years ago my public HS was something to see. My physics professor (teacher) had a PHD from MIT. His class was inspiring and challenging. The same for my biology class. Today the best and the brightest aspire for wall street. US Tech companies outside of sales are staffed with Visa carrying graduates from India. The MAGS crowd looking to go back to the 50's are forgetting about the GI's returning from the great war heading off to college. Both my father and partners father were engineers as well as my partner. Now we have students and workers with 1.7 Trillion in student debt and 1/3 of the population following a party whose leader cannot do simple math , nor comprehend simple briefing reports never mind complex subject matters We are making great leaps and bounds as we head towards third world status.

We're seeing the limits of what a society with that ethos can do.” Excellent analysis of the root cause of America’s decline. Thank you, it really clarifies the intertwining of the two biggest issues I’ve had with American society: an exponentially increasing worship of mythology and money over all else. After the Scopes trial, American fundamentalists scurried back into their churches and left America alone for a few decades to refocus its educational system on actual science and subjects that mattered to a “great society”, as Lyndon Johnson so wisely saw it, which led to the greatest period of its history that was also helped along by winning World War II. It was also the period that had the highest tax rates on wealth in American history. It wasn’t “god” that blessed and made America great but a singular focus on solving actual problems, building great schools and infrastructure, raising the money in taxes needed to fund those society-building projects, and an open-minded curiosity that ultimately sent Americans to the moon. Once wealth and fundamentalist religion regained their footing, they came together politically under Ronald Reagan’s “Big Tent” to wrest back control and send us swiftly back to increasingly feudal and superstitious times.

From the example of electric car batteries, China has a ton of Lithium, Cobalt, Graphite, Aluminum, and much more. This has made a gap for them to start their competition with electric car brands such as Tesla, BMW, etc.. They have also grown in phone chip manufacturing with their reservoirs of REEs’ which are the core for producing them. All of this has lead for them to grow to become a ‘World Leading Country’ for their high GDP and good overall BR (Birth Rate).

Were there similar articles about Russia during the Cold War, and about Japan in the 80s? It is good to have some urgency here, as the US has been playing financial games since the 80s instead of investing in engineering and manufacturing. At the same, let's not forget that Chinese researchers are even better at gaming the systems than doing research, and big chunk of the research investment went to corruption.
是否有类似的文章介绍冷战时期的俄罗斯和八十年代的日本？ 在这里有一些紧迫感是件好事，因为美国自 80 年代以来一直在玩金融游戏，而不是投资于工程和制造业。 与此同时，我们不要忘记，中国研究人员比做研究更擅长玩弄系统，而且很大一部分研究投资都流向了腐败。

, o1 O7 o( Q( C+ `@M Parents find it difficult to get their children to do homework. Then they blame the schools. This is dereliction of duty: Who ever said that rearing children to be well-educated citizens was easy? Education gurus say that every child can learn with ever more remediation, and making learning fun, but we know that that's not true. Whoever said that the process of becoming educated wouldn't take patience, perseverance, and a work ethic? These must be taught early by parents -- and are indeed taught by those poor immigrant parents, at least here in New York City, often Asian, who might be busy working two jobs and don't see their kids but who model these qualities by their everyday behavior. And possibly the sort of brain that can handle concepts more complex than watching a TikTok video?
, {$ n! T+ v' t+ A@M 父母发现让孩子做作业很困难。然后他们指责学校。这是失职：谁说培养孩子成为受过良好教育的公民是容易的？ 教育专家说，每个孩子都可以通过更多的补救来学习，并使学习变得有趣，但我们知道事实并非如此。谁说接受教育的过程不需要耐心、毅力和职业道德？这些必须由父母尽早教授——而且确实是由那些贫穷的移民父母教授的，至少在纽约市，他们通常是亚洲人，他们可能忙着做两份工作，看不到自己的孩子，但他们通过以下方式塑造了这些品质：他们的日常行为。 也许大脑能够处理比观看 TikTok 视频更复杂的概念？

" u' t( w4 Z7 N  |1 g) g; K@Bob Great points here and to follow, I'd say an esp important and concerning advantage for China (since we'd need deep reforms in failing US structures to address it) is their advanced industrial policy, ironically a la Adam smith, to minimize wasteful rent seeking costs while focussing on production, innovation and added value. This I feel like, is another key element to appreciate Keith's excellent article, it helps to explain a lot of why China has such a huge cost and quality advantage now. Too often Western (and esp the US and UK) media just attaches that to cheap labor (even calling it forced), but that's just not the reality anymore. Chinese workers are well paid now with much lower living costs (it's why China now has the world's biggest economy by far in GDP PPP terms, that corrects for purchase power). Instead, China's cost advantage now comes from vertical integration, heavy automation and less expensive consumer options--ex. alternatives to even major computer OS (Harmony) and word-processing software that's open-source and doesn't require costly subscriptions. But above all China has lower fixed business costs with ex. universal healthcare, lower university tuition and housing costs. The USA is less competitive now due to our high costs for healthcare, college, homes and childcare (unnecessarily high, as they extract without value) worsening cost-of-living. Higher salaries don't mean higher purchase power, and these fixed costs hurt our competitiveness.
@Bob 这里和接下来的要点，我想说的是，对中国来说，一个特别重要且令人担忧的优势（因为我们需要对失败的美国结构进行深入改革来解决这个问题）是他们先进的产业政策，具有讽刺意味的是，亚当·斯密，以最大限度地减少浪费寻租成本，同时专注于生产、创新和附加值。 我觉得这是欣赏基思这篇优秀文章的另一个关键要素，它有助于解释为什么中国现在拥有如此巨大的成本和质量优势。西方（尤其是美国和英国）媒体常常将其与廉价劳动力联系起来（甚至称其为强迫），但这已不再是现实。中国工人现在的工资很高，生活成本也低得多（这就是为什么中国现在是迄今为止世界上最大的经济体，以GDP购买力平价计算，修正了购买力）。 相反，中国的成本优势现在来自垂直整合、高度自动化和更便宜的消费者选择——例如。甚至是主流计算机操作系统（Harmony）和文字处理软件的替代品，这些软件是开源的，不需要昂贵的订阅。 但最重要的是，中国的固定业务成本较低。全民医疗保健、降低大学学费和住房成本。美国现在的竞争力下降，因为我们的医疗保健、大学、家庭和儿童保育成本高昂（不必要地高，因为它们没有价值），导致生活成本恶化。更高的工资并不意味着更高的购买力，这些固定成本损害了我们的竞争力。

The basic innovation in China is state led—much like it was in the US in the 50s and 60s. Back when America was innovative our college students received much more support and left college without debt. Many students today are too burdened with debt to be able to be expected to really focus on study. And it’s difficult to dream or be innovative when you begin life after college in a hole. Most people don’t major in business because they like it. They think it will pay off their debt.s. Back when the US was innovative we had progressive income tax rates (as high as 91% on the richest, lots of public investment, and very low tuition for students.
这里没有太多关于中国大学生所承担的债务负担的信息。答案是否定的。中国的基础创新是国家主导的——就像美国50年代和60年代的情况一样。 当美国处于创新时期时，我们的大学生得到了更多的支持，并且在没有债务的情况下离开大学。如今，许多学生背负着沉重的债务负担，无法真正专注于学习。当你大学毕业后开始生活时，就很难梦想或创新。大多数人不主修商科，因为他们喜欢它。他们认为这将还清他们的债务。 当美国处于创新时期时，我们实行累进所得税率（最富有的人税率高达 91%），有大量的公共投资，而且学生的学费非常低。

Meanwhile, back in the States, we’re debating whether or not teaching Algebra 1 to our brightest students in middle school is a racist practice. Or if failing kids for doing nothing is hurting their social emotional beings. We’re going to get clobbered by the Chinese. Spending more on education does little to nothing if we’re not going to demand excellence from our students. And that is the problem with our educational system, and our pipeline for our workforce. We absolutely need to be OK with failing kids for substandard work. Why were we able to respond to the Sputnik challenge, whereas today we do the opposite by dumbing down our public schools?

# ?9 H8 q  W* j, _1 s: i$ s@Martin M See my elaboration above on this, I just didn't have space in the original comment so I followed up with another. It wasn't a formal delegation, there were no handlers or chaperones and we could go places and say things without restrictions--"delegation" was used in broad sense here, as a private group doing consultancy and exchanging ideas, so we could observe the changes over years on several trips. I think sometimes too much is made of the idea that guests are shown supervised, carefully managed views of China when this is absolutely not the case, at least not anymore. There's such massive movement in and out of China it wouldn't be doable anyway, but in general people are allowed to see the good bad and ugly, including in the less developed small towns which are still sometimes behind, but being advanced very quickly. China's system of government again, is evolving and hard to describe, it's really unique among the systems of the world. It obviously does have some authoritarian elements but also some surprisingly democratic and open elements, including village and district level elections. Chinese people regularly criticize and make suggestions on Weibo and other platforms (or open protests like we saw with Covid), and even annoyances like the internet firewall can be fairly easily bypassed with a VPN. It's useful to remember China is governed by engineers and researchers, who are interested in the open feedback to improve.
5 f9 W7 d' O1 u* |7 w/ Z@马丁M 请参阅上面我对此的阐述，我只是在原始评论中没有空间，所以我跟进了另一个。这不是一个正式的代表团，没有牵线人或陪同人员，我们可以不受限制地去哪里说话——这里的“代表团”是广义的，作为一个私人团体进行咨询和交流，所以我们可以观察多年来几次旅行的变化。 我认为，有时候，人们对中国的看法是受到监督和精心管理的，而事实绝对不是这样，至少现在不是这样。中国进出如此大规模的运动，无论如何都是不可能的，但总的来说，人们被允许看到好的、坏的和丑陋的，包括在欠发达的小城镇，它们有时仍然落后，但进步很快。 中国的政府体系又在不断发展，难以描述，在世界体系中确实是独一无二的。它显然确实有一些专制成分，但也有一些令人惊讶的民主和开放成分，包括村级和区级选举。中国人经常在微博和其他平台上提出批评和建议（或者像我们在新冠疫情中看到的公开抗议），甚至像互联网防火墙这样的烦恼也可以通过 VPN 轻松绕过。 记住中国是由工程师和研究人员统治的，他们对公开反馈和改进感兴趣，这一点很有用。

& M/ F4 w+ ^* i  \3 M5 JThis is an extraordinarily serious issue. China is increasing the rigor of their education system, while the United States is dumbing-down our system. Looking ahead, we are loosing our ability to compete on the global stage. We cannot do anything about China in this regard, indeed we should applaud their efforts. But we need to change course on our own shores. Both K-12 and college-level education are removing requirements, especially for STEM courses, which are often, by their nature, challenging and sometimes difficult. Much (but not all) of these changes are being driven by progressive ideology, which seems to believe, falsely, that the way to achieve equity is through lowest common denominator teaching. Today, many college graduates are proficient in recognizing microaggressions and know how to chose "correct" pronouns, but they are not trained in college (and often high school) level math and science. This strongly limits their ability to make wise, well-informed decisions regarding personal and public policy in their jobs, their lives, and in voting booths. The pandemic made things worse; the decline in nationwide test scores and educational achievement is all too well documented. Much of this is a result of poor decision making by powerful, progressive teachers' unions. We badly need to change our philosophy towards education, and move back to an emphasis on merit, achievement, and rigor.
这是一个异常严重的问题。中国正在加强其教育体系的严格性，而美国正在简化我们的教育体系。展望未来，我们正在失去在全球舞台上竞争的能力。 在这方面我们对中国无能为力，确实应该为他们的努力喝彩。但我们需要在自己的海岸上改变路线。 K-12 和大学教育都在取消要求，尤其是 STEM 课程，这些课程本质上往往具有挑战性，有时甚至很困难。这些变化大部分（但不是全部）都是由进步主义意识形态推动的，这种意识形态似乎错误地认为，实现公平的方法是通过最低公分母教学。 如今，许多大学毕业生精通识别微侵犯，并知道如何选择“正确”的代词，但他们没有接受过大学（通常是高中）数学和科学方面的培训。这严重限制了他们在工作、生活和投票站中就个人和公共政策做出明智、明智决策的能力。 大流行使情况变得更糟。全国范围内考试成绩和教育成绩的下降是有据可查的。这在很大程度上是强大、进步的教师工会决策失误的结果。 我们迫切需要改变我们的教育理念，重新强调成绩、成就和严谨。

Good luck with that, esp in places like the US, where the level of selfishness and rejection of the notion of a social good is pathological. The response to covid proved that. Moreover, the US has spent decades hollowing out its govt, making it incredibly ineffective and incompetent. Throw in blatant political and judicial corruption and it's hard to see any of this turning around soon.

@M Parents find it difficult to get their children to do homework. Then they blame the schools. This is dereliction of duty: Who ever said that rearing children to be well-educated citizens was easy? Education gurus say that every child can learn with ever more remediation, and making learning fun, but we know that that's not true. Whoever said that the process of becoming educated wouldn't take patience, perseverance, and a work ethic? These must be taught early by parents -- and are indeed taught by those poor immigrant parents, at least here in New York City, often Asian, who might be busy working two jobs and don't see their kids but who model these qualities by their everyday behavior. And possibly the sort of brain that can handle concepts more complex than watching a TikTok video?
@M 父母发现让孩子做作业很困难。然后他们指责学校。这是失职：谁说培养孩子成为受过良好教育的公民是容易的？ 教育专家说，每个孩子都可以通过更多的补救来学习，并使学习变得有趣，但我们知道事实并非如此。谁说接受教育的过程不需要耐心、毅力和职业道德？这些必须由父母尽早教授——而且确实是由那些贫穷的移民父母教授的，至少在纽约市，他们通常是亚洲人，他们可能忙着做两份工作，看不到自己的孩子，但他们通过以下方式塑造了这些品质：他们的日常行为。 也许大脑能够处理比观看 TikTok 视频更复杂的概念？

@Bob Great points here and to follow, I'd say an esp important and concerning advantage for China (since we'd need deep reforms in failing US structures to address it) is their advanced industrial policy, ironically a la Adam smith, to minimize wasteful rent seeking costs while focussing on production, innovation and added value. This I feel like, is another key element to appreciate Keith's excellent article, it helps to explain a lot of why China has such a huge cost and quality advantage now. Too often Western (and esp the US and UK) media just attaches that to cheap labor (even calling it forced), but that's just not the reality anymore. Chinese workers are well paid now with much lower living costs (it's why China now has the world's biggest economy by far in GDP PPP terms, that corrects for purchase power). Instead, China's cost advantage now comes from vertical integration, heavy automation and less expensive consumer options--ex. alternatives to even major computer OS (Harmony) and word-processing software that's open-source and doesn't require costly subscriptions. But above all China has lower fixed business costs with ex. universal healthcare, lower university tuition and housing costs. The USA is less competitive now due to our high costs for healthcare, college, homes and childcare (unnecessarily high, as they extract without value) worsening cost-of-living. Higher salaries don't mean higher purchase power, and these fixed costs hurt our competitiveness.
@Bob 这里和接下来的要点，我想说的是，对中国来说，一个特别重要且令人担忧的优势（因为我们需要对失败的美国结构进行深入改革来解决这个问题）是他们先进的产业政策，具有讽刺意味的是，亚当·斯密，以最大限度地减少浪费寻租成本，同时专注于生产、创新和附加值。 我觉得这是欣赏基思这篇优秀文章的另一个关键要素，它有助于解释为什么中国现在拥有如此巨大的成本和质量优势。西方（尤其是美国和英国）媒体常常将其与廉价劳动力联系起来（甚至称其为强迫），但这已不再是现实。中国工人现在的工资很高，生活成本也低得多（这就是为什么中国现在是迄今为止世界上最大的经济体，以GDP购买力平价计算，修正了购买力）。 相反，中国的成本优势现在来自垂直整合、高度自动化和更便宜的消费者选择——例如。甚至是主流计算机操作系统（Harmony）和文字处理软件的替代品，这些软件是开源的，不需要昂贵的订阅。 但最重要的是，中国的固定业务成本较低。全民医疗保健、降低大学学费和住房成本。美国现在的竞争力下降，因为我们的医疗保健、大学、家庭和儿童保育成本高昂（不必要地高，因为它们没有价值），导致生活成本恶化。更高的工资并不意味着更高的购买力，这些固定成本损害了我们的竞争力。

Not much here about the debt loads that Chinese college students take on. The answer is none. The basic innovation in China is state led—much like it was in the US in the 50s and 60s. Back when America was innovative our college students received much more support and left college without debt. Many students today are too burdened with debt to be able to be expected to really focus on study. And it’s difficult to dream or be innovative when you begin life after college in a hole. Most people don’t major in business because they like it. They think it will pay off their debt.s. Back when the US was innovative we had progressive income tax rates (as high as 91% on the richest, lots of public investment, and very low tuition for students.
: f; E2 K5 n9 p这里没有太多关于中国大学生所承担的债务负担的信息。答案是否定的。中国的基础创新是国家主导的——就像美国50年代和60年代的情况一样。 当美国处于创新时期时，我们的大学生得到了更多的支持，并且在没有债务的情况下离开大学。如今，许多学生背负着沉重的债务负担，无法真正专注于学习。当你大学毕业后开始生活时，就很难梦想或创新。大多数人不主修商科，因为他们喜欢它。他们认为这将还清他们的债务。 当美国处于创新时期时，我们实行累进所得税率（最富有的人税率高达 91%），有大量的公共投资，而且学生的学费非常低。

@Martin M See my elaboration above on this, I just didn't have space in the original comment so I followed up with another. It wasn't a formal delegation, there were no handlers or chaperones and we could go places and say things without restrictions--"delegation" was used in broad sense here, as a private group doing consultancy and exchanging ideas, so we could observe the changes over years on several trips. I think sometimes too much is made of the idea that guests are shown supervised, carefully managed views of China when this is absolutely not the case, at least not anymore. There's such massive movement in and out of China it wouldn't be doable anyway, but in general people are allowed to see the good bad and ugly, including in the less developed small towns which are still sometimes behind, but being advanced very quickly. China's system of government again, is evolving and hard to describe, it's really unique among the systems of the world. It obviously does have some authoritarian elements but also some surprisingly democratic and open elements, including village and district level elections. Chinese people regularly criticize and make suggestions on Weibo and other platforms (or open protests like we saw with Covid), and even annoyances like the internet firewall can be fairly easily bypassed with a VPN. It's useful to remember China is governed by engineers and researchers, who are interested in the open feedback to improve.
@马丁M 请参阅上面我对此的阐述，我只是在原始评论中没有空间，所以我跟进了另一个。这不是一个正式的代表团，没有牵线人或陪同人员，我们可以不受限制地去哪里说话——这里的“代表团”是广义的，作为一个私人团体进行咨询和交流，所以我们可以观察多年来几次旅行的变化。 我认为，有时候，人们对中国的看法是受到监督和精心管理的，而事实绝对不是这样，至少现在不是这样。中国进出如此大规模的运动，无论如何都是不可能的，但总的来说，人们被允许看到好的、坏的和丑陋的，包括在欠发达的小城镇，它们有时仍然落后，但进步很快。 中国的政府体系又在不断发展，难以描述，在世界体系中确实是独一无二的。它显然确实有一些专制成分，但也有一些令人惊讶的民主和开放成分，包括村级和区级选举。中国人经常在微博和其他平台上提出批评和建议（或者像我们在新冠疫情中看到的公开抗议），甚至像互联网防火墙这样的烦恼也可以通过 VPN 轻松绕过。 记住中国是由工程师和研究人员统治的，他们对公开反馈和改进感兴趣，这一点很有用。

This is an extraordinarily serious issue. China is increasing the rigor of their education system, while the United States is dumbing-down our system. Looking ahead, we are loosing our ability to compete on the global stage. We cannot do anything about China in this regard, indeed we should applaud their efforts. But we need to change course on our own shores. Both K-12 and college-level education are removing requirements, especially for STEM courses, which are often, by their nature, challenging and sometimes difficult. Much (but not all) of these changes are being driven by progressive ideology, which seems to believe, falsely, that the way to achieve equity is through lowest common denominator teaching. Today, many college graduates are proficient in recognizing microaggressions and know how to chose "correct" pronouns, but they are not trained in college (and often high school) level math and science. This strongly limits their ability to make wise, well-informed decisions regarding personal and public policy in their jobs, their lives, and in voting booths. The pandemic made things worse; the decline in nationwide test scores and educational achievement is all too well documented. Much of this is a result of poor decision making by powerful, progressive teachers' unions. We badly need to change our philosophy towards education, and move back to an emphasis on merit, achievement, and rigor.

The problem for China is that EVs will be short lived. Near-term, Hybrids are in and more environmentally friendly - EVs and their multiple battery packs are not. Disposing of the spent, old batteries will become an environmental nightmare. Long-term, some new, more environmentally friendly technology or transport system will come along and replace EVs completely. China is barking up the wrong tree with EV investments and subsidies.
中国面临的问题是电动汽车的寿命很短。从短期来看，混合动力汽车已经流行并且更加环保，而电动汽车及其多个电池组则不然。处理废旧电池将成为环境噩梦。从长远来看，一些新的、更环保的技术或交通系统将会出现并完全取代电动汽车。中国在电动汽车投资和补贴方面搞错了方向。

@Leon To deal with Western problems, Western states need to raise taxes and require much more of the wealthy. Good luck with that, esp in places like the US, where the level of selfishness and rejection of the notion of a social good is pathological. The response to covid proved that. Moreover, the US has spent decades hollowing out its govt, making it incredibly ineffective and incompetent. Throw in blatant political and judicial corruption and it's hard to see any of this turning around soon.

4 c. A% `1 P4 u1 kThe West continues to underestimate China due to a mix of hubris and frank racism. The Australian swim coach expressed outrage over Chinese swimmer Pan's stunning win in the 100M Freestyle, exclaiming, "you don’t win 100 freestyle by a body length on that field!". Listen to him carefully. He did not say that Pan's speed was not humanly possible. What he found inconceivable was that Pan could beat elite Western swimmers by an entire body length without cheating. I doubt that he would've had the same reaction if one of his favored swimmers had won in a similar fashion. I have no idea whether Pan doped or not, but that is not the point. The point is that if you cannot even imagine that a member of another group could possibly best you, you have already lost.
由于傲慢和坦率的种族主义，西方继续低估中国。 澳大利亚游泳教练对中国游泳运动员潘在100M自由泳中的惊人胜利表示愤怒，并感叹道：“你在那个场上不是以一个身体长度赢得100米自由泳的！”。 仔细听他说。他并没有说潘的速度不是人类所能达到的。他觉得不可思议的是，潘能在没有作弊的情况下击败西方优秀游泳运动员一整个身体长度。我怀疑如果他最喜欢的一位游泳运动员以类似的方式获胜，他是否会有同样的反应。我不知道潘是否掺杂了，但这不是重点。关键是，如果你甚至无法想象另一个群体的成员可能会超越你，那么你就已经输了。

China took all that money and invested it in their economy, education, and infrastructure. This is what a decline of an empire looks like. We've failed to understand that our strength comes from our economic power not our military. So, as we continue to waste trillions of dollars on useless weapon systems, endless wars that are fought never to win but to allow the defense contractors to pull up to our Treasury and loot and walk out with bundles of cash in their arms, just remember, China hasn't fought a war in decades, hasn't invaded one country and has used its capital to invest in its economy, which is where the real power lies. As the former Soviet Union collapsed under a mountain of debt and propping up other country's economies, so too will go the way of the U.S. This is what happens when the military-industrial-political complex captures a government. There's a reason it places its plants in key congressional districts and uses the money we give it to legally bribe our Representatives. We will hang on for a while but morph into what the British are now, a has-been empire that lives vicariously through its cousins across the pond, but without real power or influence in this new world order of the Global South and BRICS+ economic alliance. The U.S. and the West are fading stars.

I've worked with engineering teams all over the world, Germans use to be the best, but I would say Chinese are now at the top of their game. The US shops are dominated by Indian immigrants, and India just doesn't have the diverse basic industry (electronics, mechanical, chemical) to build practical experience. Just compare Tata Motors vs BYD or Tata IT vs Huawei.
我曾与世界各地的工程团队合作过，德国人曾经是最好的，但我想说中国人现在处于领先地位。美国的商店以印度移民为主，而印度缺乏多样化的基础工业（电子、机械、化学）来建立实践经验。只需比较塔塔汽车与比亚迪或塔塔 IT 与华为即可。

Take a good look at the science and math qualifications of our elementary teachers. Secondary teachers can only accomplish so much when they are teaching kids who didn’t learn number facts, patterns and operations in elementary school, nor basic scientific thinking and skills. Are we still allowing elementary teachers to graduate after avoiding higher level math classes in college (by which I don’t mean algebra 1) by offering “Math for Elementary Teachers”? And ditto for science.

@B.Last teaching gig before retirement was at the Bronx H.S. of Science, teaching what was essentially a hands on summer school shop class for students (who for reasons of prior course failure, or, just no room in normal school year programming ) had yet to fulfill a graduation requirement. The most insightful, memorable, revelation I learned from the experience was that kids in this premier school, like the ones in the South Jamaica school where I’d spent most of my teaching years, just couldn’t measure using the United States Customary Systems! The inch and fractional parts, as well as computing metric equivalents were as foreign as Mandarin! How can we expect students in this country to “measure-up” to their Chinese counterparts if they haven’t even mastered the technological basics? Though long retired, I still bemoan the shuttering of those “hands-on” shops that were in the process of evolving into classrooms centered on problem solving! Definitely a shortsighted development in educating a technology capable population!

% F  K' w9 s8 I& KSeveral years ago when I was looking for a middle school for my daughter I observed a middle school on the Lower East Side. The chemistry teacher was in the middle of actually dry reading the periodic table to his understandably bored class. I saw the math teacher make two mistakes in the five minutes we observed his class. And then I watched other parents become visibly impressed with the fact that the bio lab had a single microscope. My daughter ended up at East Side Middle School, considered one of the better public schools at the time. They were proud to have a science teacher with a "science background." He had a psychology degree. Over the year I saw that he made the type of mistakes in his teaching that might be typical of someone with limited scientific knowledge. For example, confusing vitamin K with potassium and misidentifying the valves of the heart. We left the public school system. I have little hope that either of the two controlling parties will do anything to change this. We have one political party that "loves the poorly educated" and another party that writes one group of uneducated off as "deplorable" and lowers standards for others.

! r' X; R; A* J  B) a' jthere is also a fundamental attitude difference to work. I taught in north America for 30 years before working overseas in Singapore. the work ethic is completely different. in Singapore I would have assignments sent to me at 2am. the competitive spirit of students striving to achieve was off the charts compared to my north American students. and it began early. parents would move to upper end areas of the city, and volunteer at the local high achieving school to ensure their child would be accepted at the elementary level. this attitudinal difference came to light in yesterday's article on the new Taiwan chip manufacturer now being built in Phoenix. 'TSMC is known for its rigorous working conditions. It’s not uncommon for people to be called into work for emergencies in the middle of the night. In Phoenix, some American employees quit after disagreements over expectations...' besides securing a robust supply chain and implementing advanced technologies Americans will have to develop a competitive work ethic to compete with the Chinese.
工作态度也存在根本差异。我在北美任教了 30 年，然后到新加坡海外工作。职业道德完全不同。在新加坡，我会在凌晨 2 点收到作业。与我的北美学生相比，学生们努力取得成就的竞争精神是超乎寻常的。而且很早就开始了。父母会搬到城市的上端地区，并在当地的高中做志愿者，以确保他们的孩子能被小学录取。 这种态度差异在昨天关于正在凤凰城建设的新台湾芯片制造商的文章中得到了体现。 '台积电以其严格的工作条件而闻名。人们在半夜因紧急情况被叫去上班的情况并不少见。在凤凰城，一些美国员工因与期望存在分歧而辞职……” 除了确保强大的供应链和采用先进技术之外，美国人还必须培养有竞争力的职业道德才能与中国人竞争。

Perhaps journalists not familiar with federal research funding do not realize that each time Congress operated on continuing resolution, it is essentially a funding cut by the inflation rate — the continuing resolution only funds based on the previous levels, sans inflation adjustment. So if you want to understand a significant part of where the U.S. research funding is where it is now, check what fraction of the year the government was funded using continuing resolution over the past decade: https://www.gao.gov/blog/what-co ... vernment-operations
这份报告最后对美国在研究经费方面保持同步持乐观态度。也许不熟悉联邦研究经费的记者没有意识到，每次国会实施持续决议，本质上都是根据通货膨胀率削减资金——持续决议只根据之前的水平提供资金，没有通货膨胀调整。因此，如果您想了解美国研究经费的很大一部分现在的情况，请检查过去十年中政府使用持续决议获得资助的比例： https://www.gao.gov/blog/what-co ... vernment-operations

The gatekeeper to STEM is 1st year algebra in MS/JHS. Most math teachers don't understand algebra enough themselves to teach it to kids who understand it even less. Unfortunately, people with a solid understanding of algebra and calculus don't go into teaching when they make can much more in industry and not put up with students who still function at the arithmetic/ pocket calculator level, Get good math and science teachers, pay then what they are worth and more students will succeed in STEM. No secret here.
STEM 的把关人是 MS/JHS 中一年级的代数。大多数数学老师自己对代数的理解不够深入，无法将代数教给理解程度更低的孩子。不幸的是，对代数和微积分有深入了解的人在工业界做更多的事情时不会进入教学，也不会容忍仍然在算术/袖珍计算器水平上发挥作用的学生， 聘请优秀的数学和科学老师，支付他们应得的费用，更多的学生将在 STEM 领域取得成功。这里没有秘密。

US leadership has mismanaged our country for decades. We have individualism and capitalism and a wild political system- all gamed to favor the elites who want to avoid taxation. Meanwhile Chinese leadership has brought millions out of poverty and is turning China into an advanced country that will eventually exceed us. I have to think part of it is due to ideas of socialism that try to advance the society as a whole. The US will of course try to retain its grip on hegemony through tariffs and military threats. But I'm afraid the long-term trend is not in our favor. The Roman Empire fell from its perch. We will too.

Well, the usual tropes about the Chinese stealing IP from the West are very true. What's also true is that: 1. They work much harder than we do (not necessarily a good thing, but true) 2. They have a much less restrictive regulatory system (think environment, labor laws) which enables stuff to get done more quickly and more cheaply 3. All of their university students are *desperate* to succeed. Very many of ours simply feel entitled to succeed 4. Their university administrators are more focused on educational outcomes than left wing political indoctrination and virtue signalling 5. Employees are hired and fired on ability, not quotas and box ticking 6. Their corporate accountants and lawyers are engaged in more productive work than devising new ways to dodge tax Not saying any of this makes China a great place, but combined with brazen and ongoing theft of IP, it does explain why they are such a serious challenge to our economic, technical and (increasingly) political leadership.

* T% z+ [1 G! y' c4 m) y@M Eng - I don’t know about articles, but during the Cold War the United States increased spending on science education in high schools in order to grow the pipeline for students to study technology in universities and fill research and other technology roles. My high school (and it is not unique or particularly rich) actually had its own planetarium. Unfortunately now, high schools are struggling to fund basics - forget about STEM. And in Illinois, in-state students (even those with near perfect SAT scores) are getting shut out of University of Illinois’ Grainger school of engineering. Instead the university admits thousands of students from China whose parents can spend tens of thousands of dollars on extra academic prep and who pay full tuition. University representatives even tell in-state students that if they get in as a non Grainger student, they will not be able to eventually transfer in even with a 4.0 grade point average. This is one way that our University system is supporting the development of technology talent for China and not the U.S.

There is nothing more “feelings-based” than evangelical Christianity and since it got in bed with the wealthy under Reagan’s “Big Tent”, the two groups have been attacking and defunding our educational system to the point we’re at today. It was Republicans who demanded insane tax cuts on the wealthiest that defunded our once fabulous and low-cost universities. It was religious fundamentalist who saw free public education in a wide-range of fields as threatening to Christian hegemony. It’s the systemic disinvestment of our educational system by Capitalism and refusal to tax wealth at the same high rates that were in place during America’s greatest period, the post WWII period.

Besides all of our shortcomings in our education system, the leaders of our businesses seem to be under the delusion that an emphasis on financial engineering is what will make us competitive against China and the rest of the world. There are many US companies that have been sleepwalking like Boeing and haven't shed the delusion that their size and historical performance will allow them to dominate well into the future. Boeing so far, appears to have woken up, but many other companies with an unhealthy short term focus on the wrong things will surely be road kill. They can hire all the MBAs and social influencers they want to try to obscure their product is slipping, if there isn't solid expertise in STEM and the other elements of core businesses , the market ultimately will decide that shoddy and unsafe products won't allow them to maintain their dominant positions and other countries will benefit from our systematic inattention. Some might call that creative destruction when new players claw their way to the top of a market, and in some cases it is, but you can also make a case that previously thriving businesses in the US that have done well for decades and still should be, are being outcompeted with bad management being as big a cause as our education system's mismatch in furnishing the skills that our society needs.
除了我们教育体系中的所有缺陷之外，我们企业的领导者似乎还存在一种错觉，认为对金融工程的重视将使我们与中国和世界其他国家竞争。有许多美国公司像波音公司一样一直在梦游，并没有摆脱这样的错觉：他们的规模和历史业绩将让他们在未来占据主导地位。到目前为止，波音公司似乎已经醒悟了，但许多其他不健康的短期关注错误事物的公司肯定会被杀掉。他们可以聘请所有他们想要的 MBA 和社会影响力人士，试图掩盖他们的产品正在下滑，如果没有扎实的 STEM 和核心业务其他要素的专业知识，市场最终将决定劣质和不安全的产品不会出现。让他们保持主导地位，其他国家就会从我们系统性的忽视中受益。当新的参与者爬上市场的顶峰时，有些人可能会称之为创造性破坏，在某些情况下确实如此，但你也可以举出一个例子，以前在美国蓬勃发展的企业几十年来表现良好，但仍然应该被淘汰。 ，由于管理不善而在竞争中被击败，这与我们的教育系统在提供社会所需技能方面不匹配一样重要。

7 |0 k2 f% v- w! wWhat's ironic is that it wasn't like China was acting in secrecy. We've been seeing for years how young Chinese students were educated both directly in schools and with after-school tutoring in order to pass stringent exams. Exams that would determine who would ultimately be recruited by companies to engage in sophisticated R&D. Often our MSM reported the stresses placed on Chinese students as "too demanding", comparing and contrasting it with our rather, to say the least, lackadaisical approach to learning. When Deng opened up China he insisted that Western investments into China's economy include technology transfers. He was determined that China not just become the West's workhouse engaged in low level assembly of goods. This foresight is now apparent as we see how China has coupled its demand for childhood education with technological advancement. China no longer needs technology transfers -- it is now advanced enough to be the investor as likely as not to be expected to transfer its own technology. But, the risk of that, of course, is that such transfers also give China a back door into the West's defense. What is needed now is an enlightened policy where we learn how to trade and interact with China as at least a technological equal if not, in some areas, a superior.
讽刺的是，中国并不是在秘密行动。 多年来，我们一直看到年轻的中国学生是如何通过学校直接教育和课后辅导来通过严格的考试的。 考试将决定谁最终会被公司招募来从事复杂的研发。 我们的MSM经常报告中国学生承受的压力“要求太高”，并将其与我们至少可以说是懒散的学习方法进行比较和对比。 当邓小平开放中国时，他坚持认为西方对中国经济的投资包括技术转让。他决心让中国不仅仅成为西方从事低水平商品组装的济贫院。 当我们看到中国如何将儿童教育需求与技术进步结合起来时，这种远见就显而易见了。 中国不再需要技术转让——它现在已经足够先进，可以成为投资者，甚至不需要转让自己的技术。 但是，当然，这样做的风险在于，这种转移也给中国进入西方国家的防守留下了后门。 现在需要的是一项开明的政策，让我们学会如何与中国进行贸易和互动，至少在技术上与中国平等，即使在某些领域不是优于中国。

NYT.8.9.2024.How China Built Tech Prowess: Chemistry Classes and Research Labs. Congratulations, NYT, for this informative article on China's approach to research. In the second half of the 1970s, I was a Brazilian student pursuing my Master's and PhD degrees in natural resource economics at MSU. The first thing that caught my attention was the significant number of international students and few Americans pursuing graduate studies in hard sciences, like engineering, computer sciences, chemistry, etc. Now, with Chinese students dominating hard science areas on all American campuses, we are witnessing a profound shift in the global higher education landscape. In advanced sciences, China today is the US of the past.

Meanwhile in America, with its anti-intellectual traditions, universities and professors are vilified and worse, interfered in by politicians. What was done recently to Ivy League Presidents (all women - imagine that!) is beyond shameful and shows you how little Americans care about education despite the fact that most American universities have world class research being conducted. And we respond to other countries with 100% tariffs.

' T# l) g0 [5 h. ^5 O( U. ]Unfortunately our view is frightening myopic and we think (Democrats and Republicans) that by putting tariffs on Chinese exports (Electric Vehicles) we can compete with China. Remember back in early eighties when Japanese started exporting very good quality automobiles at almost half the cost, our auto industry was in shambles. A friend of mine bought Honda car and he remarked “This car is poor man’s Rolls Royce. The steering is so smooth and ride is so comfortable.” Tesla and other EV manufacturers here have to step up, innovate, and reinvent to compete with China. Putting tariffs on Chinese EVs will send following messages to American auto manufacturers: 1. You don’t need to compete. 2. You are guaranteed your customer base in America. 3. You can sell your product at prices you like. Make no mistake that tariffs are ultimately paid by Americans. A company that will make the following EV parts of very high quality will dominate the EV market: Battery, battery, and battery! Because everything else in an EV is pretty much traditional technology.

: K8 J. t5 ?' s% _; ?0 w  n' PThe problem that America has is that advanced stage Democracy doesn't appear to work very well. We spend so much effort - time and money, on just choosing who gets to have the golden keys. And then those who lose spend all their efforts on making sure the winners don't succeed so next time they will be the winners. Talk about dysfunctional. And now in America someone so totally unsuitable to be a leader , Trump, is turning everyone against each other, and the system has no good way to counteract. The same is true of late stage Capitalism. Where so much of the money, and power concentrate with the few, and often those few are not that great. And now we have late stage capitalism taking over our Democracy. Where money buys huge influence ( see AIPAC buying primary wins) . A big reason for America's present condition is the fact that the US dollar is the world's reserve currency. That gives us great wealth but means we need to spend huge sums on military to keep that position. It also makes us lazy. And it means it is better money to be in finance than engineering. And with our currency so valuable it is cheaper to just buy stuff from other countries. China doesn't have these 'problems' . The economy is heavily government controlled so it will be for the benefit of everyone. The wealthy are kept in place. Social media is not let alone to rot. It is very hard to have a meritocracy that lasts, but China seems to be doing it.
美国面临的问题是高级阶段的民主似乎运行得不太好。我们花费了如此多的精力——时间和金钱，只是为了选择谁能拥有金钥匙。然后那些失败的人会尽全力确保胜利者不会成功，这样下次他们就会成为胜利者。谈论功能失调。现在在美国，特朗普这样一个完全不适合当领导人的人，正在让每个人都互相对立，而这个体系没有什么好的办法来应对。 晚期资本主义也是如此。如此多的金钱和权力集中在少数人手中，而这些少数人往往并不那么伟大。 现在，晚期资本主义接管了我们的民主。金钱可以买到巨大的影响力（参见 AIPAC 购买初选获胜）。 美国现状的一个重要原因是美元是世界储备货币。这给我们带来了巨大的财富，但意味着我们需要在军事上花费大量资金才能保持这一地位。这也让我们变得懒惰。这意味着从事金融业比从事工程业更赚钱。由于我们的货币如此宝贵，从其他国家购买东西会更便宜。 中国不存在这些“问题”。经济受到政府的严格控制，因此这将造福于每个人。有钱人都留在原地。社交媒体不会腐烂。 维持持久的精英统治非常困难，但中国似乎正在做到这一点。

' z9 s' N( V7 r' g4 ^) N! i@TW I agree that string math and science students in high school deserve more support, and frankly, more challenge. There is too much focus on grades and getting into the most exclusive and prestigious colleges. That forces top students to stress and complain when teachers like me challenged them with difficult concepts, problem sets, exams, and foremost - high expectations. My former students did very well in college math, science, and engineering courses at top colleges and universities. On another note, I taught many students with a variety of cognitive and learning challenges. These students, as far as I could tell, are not headed into STEM fields at the research or engineering level. And unfortunately, many waste taxpayer dollars by failing to work hard and take advantage of the great assistance they receive from teachers and special education professional .
@TW 我同意高中弦数学和科学学生应该得到更多的支持，坦率地说，更多的挑战。人们过于关注成绩和进入最独特、最负盛名的大学。当像我这样的老师用困难的概念、问题集、考试，以及最重要的——高期望来挑战他们时，这迫使顶尖学生感到压力和抱怨。我以前的学生在顶尖学院和大学的大学数学、科学和工程课程中取得了很好的成绩。 另一方面，我教了许多面临各种认知和学习挑战的学生。据我所知，这些学生并没有进入研究或工程层面的 STEM 领域。不幸的是，许多人浪费了纳税人的钱，因为他们没有努力工作，也没有利用从教师和特殊教育专业人员那里得到的巨大帮助。

Like us, they are building middle class lives based on their ingenuity and hard work. My hope is that we avoid open confrontation until time erodes what is left of the fear and enmity that keeps us apart. I would love to see the Chinese hired to build high speed rail in America, as they have done for the past decade across China itself. There are so many ways in which we could work cooperatively.

Here, there are sticky fingers in every piece of the pie and all are reluctant to let go because this is how they survive economically. Hanging on to the US status quo when it comes to metrics like healthcare, education, childcare, education, and, yes, even social housing is surprisingly easy: Americans are eager and willing to suspend disbelief when the magic words (Socialism! Communism! Marxism!) are invoked. We've been trained to years to accept being more stressed and less competitive in the global economy to avoid the horror of Socialism here at home. It's akin to cutting off your nose to spite your face. And some politicians still make hay out of fulminating by threatening to reverse the few paltry successes we've managed to achieve on this front.

During my years as a biology professor at a major research university I taught many mainland Chinese students. A bright young woman took several of my classes and she asked to work in my lab. When she was approaching her senior year she asked me for advice on applying to PhD programs here rather than China, even though this meant visa and financial complications. I asked her why she wasn't applying to one of the good Chinese universities and in her quirky English said "Chinese science no good. They teach you to cheat. I like doing real science." This jibed with all the reports of retracted science publications from Chinese investigators. There are excellent scientists in China, many trained in the West, but the incentive system for science research is perverse, with funding allocated according to the number of papers published in high visibility Western journals like Nature and Science, rather than by peer review of the proposed research's merit as is done here. Engineering is a different enterprise and China clearly does well in training in this field. But science training in China is more problematic.

( t0 V, z& H2 D@M Eng The same was once said of Japan. Yet that nation [Japan] beat the pants off the United States at every turn: Automotive, automation/robotics, eletronics, music instruments, and steel. Who's the current leader of automotive manufacturing in the World? The Japanese gamed the system by build a better car. Investing in engineering and manufacturing requires the United State to invest in education. The world economy is here to say. The false narrative that China made gains because they took something away from use needs to cease. The United States consciously deindustrialize this nation, in the 80s. Many Americans didn't understand Reagan when he said, "The Untited States was going to be a service economy."
- d3 d# w! K$ Y$ S4 X$ O! z5 L& T5 y@M 恩格 日本也曾说过同样的话。然而，这个国家（日本）在汽车、自动化/机器人、电子、乐器和钢铁等各个领域都击败了美国。目前世界汽车制造业的领头羊是谁？日本人通过制造更好的汽车来玩弄这个系统。 投资工程和制造业需要美国投资教育。世界经济在这里说。认为中国取得收益是因为他们从使用中拿走一些东西的错误说法需要停止。 美国在八十年代有意识地使这个国家去工业化。当里根说“美国将成为一个服务经济体”时，许多美国人不理解他的意思。

We are so dumb here in America. We buy everything from China. We even pay them to build our own products, and we wonder why they are about to surpass us in GDP and actually already have if you use the more modern, favored measurement of PPP. The reason is quite simple. "Rugged American Individualism" has each horse in our cart pulling in a different direction while all of China's horses are in unison.
我们在美国真是太蠢了。我们从中国购买所有东西。我们甚至付钱让他们制造我们自己的产品，我们想知道为什么他们的 GDP 即将超过我们，而且如果你使用更现代、更受青睐的购买力平价衡量标准，他们实际上已经超越了我们。 原因很简单。 “粗暴的美国个人主义”让我们车上的每一匹马都朝着不同的方向拉动，而中国的所有马却齐心协力。

About 20,000.” He was serious. By comparison, that’s more geology students at one Chinese university than the entire enrollment across all of US academe.

It's my observation as an American citizen with considerable experience rolling up his sleeves in China, that much of the dialog in the USA regarding China panders to racial bigotry, is fashioned and perpetuated by those with vested commercial or political interests and alarmingly little personal experience in China. In effect, lies made from whole cloth concealing the teller's true intents. If our educational systems and society have a critical failing it is lack of critical thinking. With regard to China, by allowing people with zero expertise to repeat falsehoods about China without question, we resemble some gossiping medieval villagers blaming the Jews for poisoning the village well--when indeed everyone is sick due to our failure to dig a latrine downstream of well. Next time you hear someone saying something about China who can't pronounce Chinese proper nouns question that authority (it ain't hard, learning the rules for pronouncing the romanized Chinese pinyin can be disposed of in 2 hours). Faster, cheaper, better are the watchwords, behind every commercial decision made in China is the question does it scale? While we congratulate and shower one billionaire with more billions for knitting a few fashionable EVs with high margins for the wealthy, China's teams of engineers build out a high speed rail network that moves millions of people everyday (and in the meantime manages to hand out low priced EVs like chiclets).
; z7 T5 ?0 C) V$ L5 X0 e+ q  a作为一名在中国有丰富经验的美国公民，我观察到，美国有关中国的大部分对话都是为了迎合种族偏见，是由那些既得商业或政治利益、个人经验少得惊人的人所塑造和延续的。中国。实际上，谎言完全掩盖了说谎者的真实意图。 如果说我们的教育系统和社会存在严重缺陷，那就是缺乏批判性思维。就中国而言，允许零专业知识的人毫无疑问地重复有关中国的谎言，我们就像一些八卦的中世纪村民指责犹太人毒害了村庄——而事实上，由于我们没有在下游挖厕所，每个人都生病了。出色地。下次当你听到一个不会发音中文专有名词的人谈论中国时，你会质疑这个权威（这并不难，学习罗马拼音的发音规则2小时内就可以搞定）。 更快、更便宜、更好是口号，在中国做出的每一个商业决策背后都是一个问题：它能否规模化？当我们祝贺一位亿万富翁并为他提供了数十亿美元的礼物，因为他为富人编织了一些高利润的时尚电动汽车时，中国的工程师团队建造了一个每天运送数百万人的高速铁路网络（同时设法以低廉的价格提供）像巧克力一样定价的电动汽车）。

3 T" _) |1 z& h, I7 T@Katz First, paywalls are rapidly disappearing as more and more journals transition to open access (which has the downside that authors or their institutions must bear the cost of publication). Second, most major universities and corporations have subscriptions to these journals and hence researchers such as myself have no cost access to journals. Third, anyone else can always e-mail the author and ask for a reprint. Paywalls are not the problem. Of course, some private sector research is not published, at least until patents are granted, but that is a different issue. Finally, as the article states, the Chinese are indeed now doing leading edge research across a wide spectrum of science.
; m( K4 m( w, x+ u, O@Katz 首先，随着越来越多的期刊转向开放获取（其缺点是作者或其机构必须承担出版费用），付费墙正在迅速消失。 其次，大多数主要大学和公司都订阅了这些期刊，因此像我这样的研究人员可以免费访问期刊。 第三，其他任何人都可以随时向作者发送电子邮件并要求重印。 付费墙不是问题。当然，一些私营部门的研究不会发表，至少在获得专利之前是这样，但这是一个不同的问题。 最后，正如文章所述，中国人现在确实正在广泛的科学领域进行前沿研究。

& z. B- M& _; y+ H# {' O8 F  R, yThe root cause of American declines in basic scientific research and accomplishments outside of IT and pharmaceuticals is the failure of our people to value education that demands study, learning, metrics, attendance and grades that matter. This is a cultural issue that highlights what people and governments value most. We certainly have the nucleus of genius capable of out-innovating others. But those who can typically gravitate to higher paying fields that use chemistry for commercial purpose. They prosper there financially and are quite happy. There aren't enough of them to gravitate to other new fields with the same degree of competence. There aren't enough of them because public education has evolved from educating students basic math, science, literacy skills to proselytizing about social justice. The current social justice warriors of the Dpt of Education, the leaders of the NEA and the progressive activists have demanded that schools and teachers fix broad social problems rather than educate our young. This is a cultural issue.
美国在信息技术和制药之外的基础科学研究和成就下降的根本原因是我们的人民未能重视需要学习、学习、指标、出勤和成绩的教育。 这是一个文化问题，凸显了人民和政府最看重的是什么。 我们当然拥有能够超越他人的天才核心。但那些通常会倾向于将化学用于商业目的的高薪领域。他们在那里经济繁荣并且非常幸福。 他们没有足够多的人去吸引具有同等能力的其他新领域。 它们的数量还不够，因为公共教育已经从教育学生基本的数学、科学、识字技能发展到宣扬社会正义。目前教育部的社会正义斗士、国家教育局的领导人和进步活动人士要求学校和教师解决广泛的社会问题，而不是教育我们的年轻人。 这是一个文化问题。

We're required to believe that EVERY single major technical advance, every single commanding lead by any country that isn't the USA, has come about (no matter how tenuously) because, in some way, Americans were deprived of, cheated out of, had stolen, some essential discovery, industrial process, some crucial manufacture OR that advancement was gained only through American financial or expert intellectual support - all without which any non-US country would have been quite incapable of making that advance, gaining that lead or whatever. The world has changed. Not only has China become an R&D powerhouse but cutting edge bioscience, semiconductor, AI R&D (to name but a few) is being done in Japan, Taiwan and the member nations of the European Union (to name but a few) all entirely independently of the US. Really. The US is getting beaten, even sometimes beaten badly, on technical progress. Not one but TWO recent world academic rankings show that of the global top 10 universities, FOUR are British. And, that's just one example of non-American academic prowess. Worth remembering when it comes to the ownership of research IP.
哦，拜托...不要再这样了。 我们必须相信，每一项重大技术进步、每一项非美国国家的领先优势，都已经实现（无论多么脆弱），因为在某种程度上，美国人被剥夺了、被欺骗了，窃取了一些重要的发现、工业流程、一些关键的制造，或者只有通过美国的财政或专家智力支持才能取得进步——如果没有这些支持，任何非美国国家都无法取得这一进步，获得领先地位或任何。 世界已经改变。中国不仅已成为研发强国，而且日本、台湾和欧盟成员国（仅举几例）也正在完全独立地进行尖端生物科学、半导体、人工智能研发（仅举几例）。美国。真的。美国在技术进步方面正在被打败，甚至有时被打败。 最近的两份世界学术排名显示，在全球排名前 10 的大学中，有四所是英国大学。而且，这只是非美国学术实力的一个例子。当谈到研究知识产权的所有权时，值得记住。

  s+ w/ h  v, D$ o- MI’ve been pretty critical of China because I’ve worked with Chinese computer engineers who were stealing secrets. I loathe this for obvious reasons but I’ve felt that if China is truly a superpower then they must earn their chops like everyone else instead of stealing everything not nailed down. I’ve changed my mind. “Empires of Silver” - Curiosity Streaming, three segment documentary England and East India Company has treated China very poorly. So too other European countries, Japan and Americans. For most of recorded history China has simply wanted to be left alone. I understand that completely. These nations, out of greed, invaded several times over the centuries, and imposed outrageous debt requirements that would forever cripple any nation. Much like Germany after WWI. Try experiencing that history and not seething with hate and contempt for the countries who were responsible. I’ve known Spain, England and other colonizers were evil but I never understood exactly to what extent. A well written and concise documentary.
我一直对中国持批评态度，因为我曾与窃取机密的中国计算机工程师一起工作。出于显而易见的原因，我讨厌这一点，但我觉得，如果中国真的是一个超级大国，那么他们必须像其他人一样赢得自己的印章，而不是窃取一切未确定的东西。 我改变了主意。 “白银帝国” - Curiosity Streaming，三段纪录片 英国和东印度公司对待中国非常不好。其他欧洲国家、日本和美国也是如此。 在大部分有记录的历史中，中国只是想不受干扰。我完全理解这一点。这些国家出于贪婪，在几个世纪里多次入侵，并强加了无耻的债务要求，这将永远削弱任何国家。就像第一次世界大战后的德国一样。 尝试体验那段历史，不要对那些负有责任的国家充满仇恨和蔑视。 我知道西班牙、英国和其他殖民者是邪恶的，但我从来不知道到底邪恶到什么程度。 一部写得很好、简洁的纪录片。

Since much of the western world can’t comprehend long sentences/paragraphs, I will use bullet points to make my case. 1) we live thinking about the past glory days. 2) we travel to well advertised places and think we have seen the world. 3) we haven’t seen the world that has developed since 2000s. 4) our education system allocates few resources to STEM classes including hands on learning. 5) our kids want all the fun and no pressure to learn in school. Not motivated enough. 6) our so called global corporations want to make money and not necessarily improve human life while improving everything else that surrounds us. Yes, I am talking about environment. 7) when you focus on the past, you can’t see what’s happening in front of you. 8) countries like India and China will surpass the western world and surprise us - well maybe not much a surprise. Solution is well funded schools and colleges. High quality college education shouldn’t cost $50,000 to $80,000 a year.

/ P8 j9 F3 F- I) U: UAcademic excellence in the US is valued by some parents and adults, but in general not by adolescent peers. There are still excellent individual students in the US, who have individual, personal drive, and they are supported by their families and small social groups. But in various political and social subgroups, the US frames academic achievement in terms of nerdiness, inequity, unpopularity, being unathletic, or being privileged...or even reframed arguing the definition of excellence is subjective and its measurement is inherently biased. In Asia, the definition of academic excellence is unambiguous. Achievement is respected by adults and age-matched peers and there aren't strong competing narratives about popularity or social inequality. This article reflects the stark difference between our cultures, the consequences of this divergence, and gives insights to the decades to come.
在美国，一些家长和成年人看重学业成绩，但一般青少年同龄人并不看重。 美国仍然有优秀的个体学生，他们有个性、有个人动力，并且得到家庭和小社会团体的支持。但在不同的政治和社会群体中，美国用书呆子、不平等、不受欢迎、缺乏运动能力或特权等来界定学术成就……甚至重新定义卓越的定义是主观的，其衡量标准本质上是有偏见的。 在亚洲，学术卓越的定义是明确的。成就受到成年人和同龄人的尊重，并且没有关于受欢迎程度或社会不平等的强烈竞争性叙述。本文反映了我们文化之间的明显差异以及这种差异的后果，并对未来几十年提出了见解。

Americans will never have the strict behavioral nor technical discipline to compete against Asians on a large scale. Americans can lead a cutting edge research but it takes a different mindset to effectively and consistently commercialize technologies with high quality. The pragmatic way forward is to employ crippling tariffs to limit the influx of foreign technology. If we can't compete, erect barriers.
美国人永远不会有严格的行为或技术纪律来与亚洲人进行大规模竞争。美国人可以领导尖端研究，但需要不同的思维方式才能有效、持续地将高质量技术商业化。 务实的前进之路是采用严厉的关税来限制外国技术的流入。如果我们无法竞争，就设置障碍。

Some yrs ago, at a large industry conference, I sat next to a Chinese geology professor from Wuhan (yes, that Wuhan). I asked how many students studied at his university: “Oh, about 40,000 or so,” he said. “Do all study geology,” I asked… kind of in jest. “No,” he replied; “Only about half of students study geology. About 20,000.” He was serious. By comparison, that’s more geology students at one Chinese university than the entire enrollment across all of US academe.

It's my observation as an American citizen with considerable experience rolling up his sleeves in China, that much of the dialog in the USA regarding China panders to racial bigotry, is fashioned and perpetuated by those with vested commercial or political interests and alarmingly little personal experience in China. In effect, lies made from whole cloth concealing the teller's true intents. If our educational systems and society have a critical failing it is lack of critical thinking. With regard to China, by allowing people with zero expertise to repeat falsehoods about China without question, we resemble some gossiping medieval villagers blaming the Jews for poisoning the village well--when indeed everyone is sick due to our failure to dig a latrine downstream of well. Next time you hear someone saying something about China who can't pronounce Chinese proper nouns question that authority (it ain't hard, learning the rules for pronouncing the romanized Chinese pinyin can be disposed of in 2 hours). Faster, cheaper, better are the watchwords, behind every commercial decision made in China is the question does it scale? While we congratulate and shower one billionaire with more billions for knitting a few fashionable EVs with high margins for the wealthy, China's teams of engineers build out a high speed rail network that moves millions of people everyday (and in the meantime manages to hand out low priced EVs like chiclets).
/ x4 C* t0 f& h& D! o, J作为一名在中国有丰富经验的美国公民，我观察到，美国有关中国的大部分对话都是为了迎合种族偏见，是由那些既得商业或政治利益、个人经验少得惊人的人所塑造和延续的。中国。实际上，谎言完全掩盖了说谎者的真实意图。 如果说我们的教育系统和社会存在严重缺陷，那就是缺乏批判性思维。就中国而言，允许零专业知识的人毫无疑问地重复有关中国的谎言，我们就像一些八卦的中世纪村民指责犹太人毒害了村庄——而事实上，由于我们没有在下游挖厕所，每个人都生病了。出色地。下次当你听到一个不会发音中文专有名词的人谈论中国时，你会质疑这个权威（这并不难，学习罗马拼音的发音规则2小时内就可以搞定）。 更快、更便宜、更好是口号，在中国做出的每一个商业决策背后都是一个问题：它能否规模化？当我们祝贺一位亿万富翁并为他提供了数十亿美元的礼物，因为他为富人编织了一些高利润的时尚电动汽车时，中国的工程师团队建造了一个每天运送数百万人的高速铁路网络（同时设法以低廉的价格提供）像巧克力一样定价的电动汽车）。

( `- O# ~7 P- B@Katz First, paywalls are rapidly disappearing as more and more journals transition to open access (which has the downside that authors or their institutions must bear the cost of publication). Second, most major universities and corporations have subscriptions to these journals and hence researchers such as myself have no cost access to journals. Third, anyone else can always e-mail the author and ask for a reprint. Paywalls are not the problem. Of course, some private sector research is not published, at least until patents are granted, but that is a different issue. Finally, as the article states, the Chinese are indeed now doing leading edge research across a wide spectrum of science.
@Katz 首先，随着越来越多的期刊转向开放获取（其缺点是作者或其机构必须承担出版费用），付费墙正在迅速消失。 其次，大多数主要大学和公司都订阅了这些期刊，因此像我这样的研究人员可以免费访问期刊。 第三，其他任何人都可以随时向作者发送电子邮件并要求重印。 付费墙不是问题。当然，一些私营部门的研究不会发表，至少在获得专利之前是这样，但这是一个不同的问题。 最后，正如文章所述，中国人现在确实正在广泛的科学领域进行前沿研究。

The root cause of American declines in basic scientific research and accomplishments outside of IT and pharmaceuticals is the failure of our people to value education that demands study, learning, metrics, attendance and grades that matter. This is a cultural issue that highlights what people and governments value most. We certainly have the nucleus of genius capable of out-innovating others. But those who can typically gravitate to higher paying fields that use chemistry for commercial purpose. They prosper there financially and are quite happy. There aren't enough of them to gravitate to other new fields with the same degree of competence. There aren't enough of them because public education has evolved from educating students basic math, science, literacy skills to proselytizing about social justice. The current social justice warriors of the Dpt of Education, the leaders of the NEA and the progressive activists have demanded that schools and teachers fix broad social problems rather than educate our young. This is a cultural issue.
美国在信息技术和制药之外的基础科学研究和成就下降的根本原因是我们的人民未能重视需要学习、学习、指标、出勤和成绩的教育。 这是一个文化问题，凸显了人民和政府最看重的是什么。 我们当然拥有能够超越他人的天才核心。但那些通常会倾向于将化学用于商业目的的高薪领域。他们在那里经济繁荣并且非常幸福。 他们没有足够多的人去吸引具有同等能力的其他新领域。 它们的数量还不够，因为公共教育已经从教育学生基本的数学、科学、识字技能发展到宣扬社会正义。目前教育部的社会正义斗士、国家教育局的领导人和进步活动人士要求学校和教师解决广泛的社会问题，而不是教育我们的年轻人。 这是一个文化问题。

! P+ L/ d! P/ hOh please... Not again. We're required to believe that EVERY single major technical advance, every single commanding lead by any country that isn't the USA, has come about (no matter how tenuously) because, in some way, Americans were deprived of, cheated out of, had stolen, some essential discovery, industrial process, some crucial manufacture OR that advancement was gained only through American financial or expert intellectual support - all without which any non-US country would have been quite incapable of making that advance, gaining that lead or whatever. The world has changed. Not only has China become an R&D powerhouse but cutting edge bioscience, semiconductor, AI R&D (to name but a few) is being done in Japan, Taiwan and the member nations of the European Union (to name but a few) all entirely independently of the US. Really. The US is getting beaten, even sometimes beaten badly, on technical progress. Not one but TWO recent world academic rankings show that of the global top 10 universities, FOUR are British. And, that's just one example of non-American academic prowess. Worth remembering when it comes to the ownership of research IP.
哦，拜托...不要再这样了。 我们必须相信，每一项重大技术进步、每一项非美国国家的领先优势，都已经实现（无论多么脆弱），因为在某种程度上，美国人被剥夺了、被欺骗了，窃取了一些重要的发现、工业流程、一些关键的制造，或者只有通过美国的财政或专家智力支持才能取得进步——如果没有这些支持，任何非美国国家都无法取得这一进步，获得领先地位或任何。 世界已经改变。中国不仅已成为研发强国，而且日本、台湾和欧盟成员国（仅举几例）也正在完全独立地进行尖端生物科学、半导体、人工智能研发（仅举几例）。美国。真的。美国在技术进步方面正在被打败，甚至有时被打败。 最近的两份世界学术排名显示，在全球排名前 10 的大学中，有四所是英国大学。而且，这只是非美国学术实力的一个例子。当谈到研究知识产权的所有权时，值得记住。

I’ve been pretty critical of China because I’ve worked with Chinese computer engineers who were stealing secrets. I loathe this for obvious reasons but I’ve felt that if China is truly a superpower then they must earn their chops like everyone else instead of stealing everything not nailed down. I’ve changed my mind. “Empires of Silver” - Curiosity Streaming, three segment documentary England and East India Company has treated China very poorly. So too other European countries, Japan and Americans. For most of recorded history China has simply wanted to be left alone. I understand that completely. These nations, out of greed, invaded several times over the centuries, and imposed outrageous debt requirements that would forever cripple any nation. Much like Germany after WWI. Try experiencing that history and not seething with hate and contempt for the countries who were responsible. I’ve known Spain, England and other colonizers were evil but I never understood exactly to what extent. A well written and concise documentary.

The essential purpose of standardized testing is to identify high-potential students regardless of background. China is not afraid to see if you can cut it, and tell you that you can't. Given the forces against merit-based admissions and advancement, is it any wonder why US men are in droves saying no-thanks to university? Despite being communist, the ideas of "equity" and equality-of-outcome are laughable in China.
标准化测试的根本目的是识别高潜力的学生，无论其背景如何。中国不怕看你能不能砍，然后告诉你不能。鉴于反对择优录取和晋升的力量，难怪美国男性成群结队地对大学说不？尽管是共产主义国家，“公平”和结果平等的观念在中国却是可笑的。

Academic excellence in the US is valued by some parents and adults, but in general not by adolescent peers. There are still excellent individual students in the US, who have individual, personal drive, and they are supported by their families and small social groups. But in various political and social subgroups, the US frames academic achievement in terms of nerdiness, inequity, unpopularity, being unathletic, or being privileged...or even reframed arguing the definition of excellence is subjective and its measurement is inherently biased. In Asia, the definition of academic excellence is unambiguous. Achievement is respected by adults and age-matched peers and there aren't strong competing narratives about popularity or social inequality. This article reflects the stark difference between our cultures, the consequences of this divergence, and gives insights to the decades to come.
在美国，一些家长和成年人看重学业成绩，但一般青少年同龄人并不看重。 美国仍然有优秀的个体学生，他们有个性、有个人动力，并且得到家庭和小社会团体的支持。但在不同的政治和社会群体中，美国用书呆子、不平等、不受欢迎、缺乏运动能力或特权等来界定学术成就……甚至重新定义卓越的定义是主观的，其衡量标准本质上是有偏见的。 在亚洲，学术卓越的定义是明确的。成就受到成年人和同龄人的尊重，并且没有关于受欢迎程度或社会不平等的强烈竞争性叙述。本文反映了我们文化之间的明显差异以及这种差异的后果，并对未来几十年提出了见解。

Battery researcher with a PhD here. When I went to grad school a decade ago for battery research, my research group was 80% Chinese — and this was at a U.S. university! But here was the bigger issue: with a newly minted PhD in battery materials, it took me close to two years to get an industry position. Meanwhile many people in the early/mid 20s cohort were making handsome salaries in finance & software with just a bachelor degree, often holding multiple job offers. So here are my takeaways from the travails I endured: the U.S. says they want to be a technical leader, but they don’t really want to put in the work. PhD students are underpaid, go into a job market with very few open positions, and are at the whims of accountant bean counters for their career stability. I loved my PhD work and the people I met. However, knowing at where it led me, I would tell my young 20s self: go into tech, or medicine.
电池研究员，拥有博士学位。十年前，当我进入研究生院进行电池研究时，我的研究小组 80% 是中国人——而且是在一所美国大学！ 但更大的问题是：作为一名新获得电池材料博士学位的人，我花了近两年的时间才获得行业职位。与此同时，许多 20 岁出头/中期的人仅拥有学士学位，就在金融和软件领域赚取了丰厚的薪水，而且往往持有多个工作机会。 以下是我从我所经历的痛苦中得出的结论：美国说他们想成为技术领导者，但他们并不想真正投入工作。博士生的工资很低，进入的就业市场上空缺职位很少，并且为了职业稳定性而受到会计算计的突发奇想。 我喜欢我的博士工作和我遇到的人。然而，当我知道它会把我引向何方时，我会告诉 20 多岁的自己：进入科技行业，或者医学行业。

Unfortunately for China, the world is starting to wake up to the absurd fallacy that is electric vehicles. They pollute more than ICEs, have poor range, lack adequate charging speed/locations, and are just plain ugly.

Sales of electric vehicles in the US have been steadily declining (massively in several markets) for the past 18 months. Things will be no different in developing countries once people find out what an unreliable pain EVs are to own.

# }' ~  j+ S7 a, I" w: |# c* i$ e" I6 t@Trina thanks for putting this so well. While parts of America are losing their minds to grievance politics, conspiracy theories and culture wars, China is pulling ahead. Theatrical ‘anti-China’ band-aid solutions like slapping on tariffs or shipping talented immigrants back home with PhDs (‘because they’ll take our jobs’) is the type of short-sighted solution you get when you fall prey to MAGA. America is known for technological innovation and for businesses that have been a source of global admiration and even envy. Yet the government circus continues so we remain distracted and vulnerable. Immigrants still find America appealing (primarily the cities — yes when you’re busy studying and working you don’t indulge in apocalyptic crime-infested thinking) but we continue to find ways to tear each other down and spread lies.
0 x1 W! p% a9 d$ M@Trina 谢谢你把这个说得这么好。当美国部分地区因不满政治、阴谋论和文化战争而失去理智时，中国正在走在前面。戏剧性的“反华”创可贴解决方案，例如提高关税或将拥有博士学位的有才华的移民送回国（“因为他们会抢走我们的工作”），是当你成为 MAGA 的牺牲品时所得到的短视解决方案。美国以技术创新和受到全球钦佩甚至嫉妒的企业而闻名。然而政府的马戏表演仍在继续，因此我们仍然心烦意乱且脆弱。移民仍然觉得美国很有吸引力（主要是城市——是的，当你忙于学习和工作时，你不会沉迷于犯罪猖獗的世界末日思维），但我们继续寻找方法来互相拆台和传播谎言。

There is no future for for Tech in the US. Better to have an MBA, MD or possibly law degree. American engineers are too expensive. Better to import cheaper H1B's or just export product development and production overseas leaving hollowed out sales and distribution companies. America is just a market until nobody has any money to buy with their service economy jobs. American companies have exported critical technologies to gain a foothold in the Chinese market. What happens to your business when your Chinese subcontractor is your competitor? Or do you plan to be somewhere else when things collapse? And why are there so many Asian and Indian students in US graduate programs? Non-Asian US students (and their parents) feel entitled to a good life with no effort. US K-12 education seems to be more about fixing social problems than educating. There is little respect for teachers who face grilling by aggrieved parents. It is no wonder that the US is lagging in product development and education. It will take major changes in culture and business attitudes to repair the damage.
. t1 I# m7 ^% F+ a) j# m/ ~科技在美国没有未来。最好拥有 MBA、医学博士或可能的法律学位。美国工程师太贵了。最好进口更便宜的 H1B 签证，或者只是将产品开发和生产出口到海外，从而让销售和分销公司空虚。在没有人有钱购买服务经济工作之前，美国只是一个市场。美国公司出口关键技术以在中国市场立足。当您的中国分包商成为您的竞争对手时，您的业务会发生什么？或者当事情崩溃时你打算去别的地方吗？ 为什么美国研究生项目中有这么多亚洲和印度学生？非亚裔美国学生（及其父母）觉得自己有权不费吹灰之力就过上美好的生活。美国K-12教育似乎更多的是解决社会问题而不是教育。面对委屈的父母的拷问，老师们几乎不受尊重。 难怪美国在产品开发和教育方面落后。文化和商业态度需要发生重大变化才能修复损害。

@Mickey "Most countries offer their citizens either free college education or the at least very affordable tuition." True, but only to the best students. Rigorous exams must be passed annually in France to continue free higher education. American students largely enjoy uncompetitive admissions to college, graduate and professional schools. Many schools accept well above 50% of applicants. Meanwhile the Ivies, Stanford, etc. offer free tuition to those who need it. But their students are not just self selected, they're highly competitive.
@Mickey“大多数国家为其公民提供免费的大学教育或至少非常实惠的学费。” 确实如此，但仅限于最优秀的学生。在法国，每年必须通过严格的考试才能继续免费高等教育。美国学生在很大程度上享受着没有竞争力的大学、研究生院和职业学校的录取。许多学校录取率远远超过 50%。 与此同时，常春藤盟校、斯坦福大学等为有需要的人提供免费学费。但他们的学生不仅仅是自我挑选的，而且竞争激烈。

Twenty years ago. He was smart but very devious. I fired him within three months for using my systems to provide software to another company he had an arrangement with. My manager did not catch him, I did. I walked into the programming office and saw that his computer was hooked up to a modem which was active. I asked him what was up and he immediately disconnected it. I moved him aside and saw what software he was transferring and immediately fired him. He asked me if he could take the work he was working on. I told him to get out before I call the police on him for trespassing. The next month I fired that manager. I hoped he was one in a million but I don’t think so.

8 ]; s! ~0 B9 ~3 p, t@Alain 我们在教育方面投入了大量资金。我斗胆说，中国的情况比那时要多得多。区别在于钱的去向。比较一下这里主修社会科学的人数和中国的人数。我们这里有很多社会科学专业的人试图创造一个符合他们意识形态的世界，并成为示威和抱怨的活动家，但没有真正做出太多贡献，但是噪音。那么那些甚至没有上过大学的有酬就业者在找不到工作时就必须偿还数万亿美元的贷款。 然后我们还要看看大学政府工业综合体。大学和政府这两个地方，你永远不会为你的错误负责，你只会不断成长并增加你的成本，而纳税人则一分钱一分货

; u) P2 ^6 N4 j@Munjoy fan as a long time high school chemistry teacher, I heartily second this. In fact, I would add that a good number of elementary teachers are actually afraid of math and telegraph that fear to their students. And science education, right up until high school chemistry and physics, is really just story telling and fact memorization. Math, taught by folks fearful of math and never used outside of math class, leads to a frightful innumeracy in the majority of tenth graders.
* [8 \/ C9 _1 o9 p: `@Munjoy 粉丝作为一名长期的高中化学老师，我衷心赞同这一点。事实上，我想补充一点，很多小学老师实际上害怕数学和电报，就像他们的学生害怕的那样。科学教育，直到高中化学和物理，实际上只是讲故事和事实记忆。 数学是由那些害怕数学的人教授的，并且从未在数学课之外使用过，导致大多数十年级学生的计算能力惊人。

People are any country's greatest resource. But just like an ore deposit, that resource must be mined and refined. That's what education does - mines and refines people, transforming a potential resource into an actual one. We still invest too little in university education in this country. There are large numbers of bright people out there who do not go to college because they or their parents think they cannot afford it. We are leaving too much of our people resource in the ground, unmined, unrefined.
. |1 T# _3 H. ~( ]人民是任何国家最大的资源。但就像矿床一样，该资源必须被开采和提炼。这就是教育的作用——挖掘和提炼人，将潜在资源转化为实际资源。 我们国家对大学教育的投资仍然太少。有大量聪明人没有上大学，因为他们或他们的父母认为他们负担不起大学费用。我们把太多的人力资源留在地下，未经开采、未经提炼。

The cost of research has been going up while funding levels have remained flat. Most researchers in US are foreign born. Sorry but Americans simply don’t want to work that hard and feel the pain of frequent failure at low pay and decades of training and sacrifices. Finally while China is doubling its investment we are causing STEM companies to fail but not allowing expensing of R&D. We need 10x of CHIPS acts and we need it to do to research and not to subsidize large companies.

Chinese political culture is profoundly repressive, prone to secrecy, top-down diktat, mass censorship, mass surveillance, and quick to suppress any gestures of resistance to its decrees. There is no daylight between the party and any significant social, cultural, or educational institution. Independence of thought and action is a non-starter there. Any admiration for its educational institutions or methods of promoting research or production of knowledge must be tempered with that reality and acknowledged upfront. Furthermore the environmental effects of this chemistry research and commercial activity are unlikely to be carefully considered and controlled, nor is independent data and analysis likely to be available. Curiously, this reporter chose to omit this reality. I’d like to know why.
中国的政治文化具有深刻的压制性，倾向于保密、自上而下的指令、大规模审查、大规模监视，并且会迅速镇压任何抵制其法令的姿态。 该党与任何重要的社会、文化或教育机构之间不存在任何联系。在那里，思想和行动的独立是不可能的。 对其教育机构或促进研究或知识生产的方法的任何钦佩都必须适应这一现实并预先得到承认。 此外，这种化学研究和商业活动对环境的影响不太可能得到仔细考虑和控制，也不太可能提供独立的数据和分析。 奇怪的是，记者选择忽略这一事实。我想知道为什么。

Let us acknowledge that China has become a leader in manufacturing and science and technology. Many in our nation are totally oblivious to China's accomplishments. In a few decades China will surpass the US and will become the most dominant nation in the world. There is a general malaise in our nation in politics, manufacturing, education and research. The spark of this nation has diminished and whether it can be rekindled remains to be seen.

Spending and focus in elementary school on the top math students wouldn’t hurt either. We spend far too much time and money on special education and the low performing students, assuming that tge top students can progress on their own.

"We will not make the DVD mistake again," he said five or six times, meaning that China would no longer rely on western standards or R&D and play the role of the assembler. We then toured the supercomputing lab. When I got back to the US most didn't want to hear it claiming that many of their engineers were really technicians. He was right.

Another technology that China seems to be bringing into focus is maglev transportation. It seems that they are focusing on high-speed passenger guided-transport. And I just saw yesterday that they have set up a test of a vacuum tube or pipe ultra-high-speed maglev demonstration. However, somewhat like Japan, Europe and the U.S. they have focused on passenger travel and have not focused on logistics, moving goods and containerized freight trucks, at very high speeds using the power of magnetic levitated carriers. Our studies show that the real economic benefit of high speed maglev is in logistics. We find that the maximum return in terms of reduced costs per ton mile and reduction in health-harming pollution is achieved by reducing the heavy highway truck hauling. It is a terrible problem in the U.S. in delivering goods to our densely built metropolitan regions and I remember reading about the horrific truck backups in China. My group has proposed a nationwide superconducting elevated network running mainly along the rights of way of our Interstate highways that also is capable of electronically switching to Maglev adapted rail trackage to enter our city passenger rail terminals, where rights-of-way are incredibly disruptive & costly, if not impossible, to acquire. We believe this is the way to evolve both our passenger and freight infrastructure systems to meet the future needs of our growing urban populations and reduce tailpipe emissions with this electric system.
中国似乎正在关注的另一项技术是磁悬浮交通。看来他们的重点是高速客运引导运输。我昨天刚刚看到他们已经建立了真空管或管道超高速磁悬浮示范试验。 然而，有点像日本、欧洲和美国，他们专注于客运，而不是专注于利用磁悬浮载体的力量以非常高的速度运输货物和集装箱货运卡车。 我们的研究表明，高速磁浮的真正经济效益在于物流。我们发现，通过减少重型公路卡车的运输量，可以实现降低每吨英里成本和减少危害健康的污染方面的最大回报。在美国，向人口密集的大都市地区运送货物是一个可怕的问题，我记得读过有关中国可怕的卡车备份的文章。 我的小组提出了一个全国性的超导高架网络，主要沿着我们的州际高速公路的通行权运行，该网络还能够以电子方式切换到磁悬浮改造的铁路轨道，以进入我们的城市客运铁路终点站，而那里的通行权具有极大的破坏性即使不是不可能，也要付出昂贵的代价才能获得。 我们相信，这是发展我们的客运和货运基础设施系统的方式，以满足我们不断增长的城市人口的未来需求，并通过该电力系统减少尾气排放。

" g3 K& M8 W; c"“If the U.S. wants to build up a supply chain quickly, the best way is to invite Chinese companies, and they will set it up very quickly and bring technology,” said Feng An, the founder of the Innovation Center for Energy and Transportation, a nonprofit research group in Beijing and Los Angeles." If the U.S. establishment was serious about global warming, that's exactly what they would do. For example, the U.S. has vast deposits of soda ash, which could be used to create inexpensive sodium battreries. These batteries are not "temperature sensitive" and require much less of other "rare metals" like cobalt. China has done much research into this. But their country has relatively little soda ash. This presents the perfect opportunity for a joint venture to manufacture sodium batteries for both countries. But our leaders are so bent on "hegemony" that they refuse to even consider the idea. Instead, they send aircraft carriers and marines to menace China's coast.

GOPs climate change denialism, vaccine lies, sharpie weather reports, and a House Speaker who owes his career to legal work for the Noah’s Ark Experience which draws funding from evidenced based geology indoctrinate followers with anti-scientific dispositions. Surveys indicate US adults know about as much about Nature and math as those from a devasted peasant society. We have some very good science teachers and until recently a disporoportiamte number of grad programs. But top highschool teachers are not adequately paid and students don’t see the point of math (AI does not replace it The language of Nature is not translatable to English, so to read and input useful data to an AI requires reading equations). Women grad. students have it the worst. The system was designed by men almost 1000 years ago and does not adequately acknowledge childbearing clocks. 22 y.o. 6 year PhD 5 year post doc 5 year tenure race = 38. Pay has to increase, track merit more tightly year to year and offer parental leave. Genius woman who want children and a scientific career pick science or marry older and richer. This should not be the plan.

The Great Wall is the symbol of China, opposition to anything and anyone nonchinese. Chinese tore up the tracks when a railroad was first built in China. Chinese who seemed to have great difficulty seeing were unaware Europeans invented a solution. But when the boy Emperor PuYi, in the 20th century, was fitted with glasses by his tutor PuYi’s father was outraged. Better to be blind than the Emperor of China wear something foreign. Chinese attitude towards foreigners is still super xenophobic. “Build A New Wall” is the Chinese national anthem. Look around you right now; Nearly everything in technology and science is the result of white men, who woke says are responsible for every wrong in history and every disturbance in the Milky Way. Biden said the greatest threat is white supremacists who we are led to believe are everywhere. It wouldn’t be surprising for some liberals today to refuse to study STEM. The Chinese eventually got woke to the importance of STEM. Americans will be left behind if they don’t embrace the new reality of foreign competition
长城是中国的象征，反对任何非中国人。当中国第一次修建铁路时，中国人把铁轨撕毁了。中国人似乎很难看到，但他们不知道欧洲人发明了一个解决方案。但当20世纪的小男孩溥仪被他的导师溥仪配上眼镜时，他的父亲感到愤怒。瞎了总比中国皇帝穿洋货好。中国人对外国人的态度仍然是超级排外。 《筑起新墙》是中国国歌。现在看看你的周围；几乎所有技术和科学都是白人的成果，他们醒来后说，他们对历史上的每一个错误和银河系中的每一次骚乱负有责任。拜登表示，最大的威胁是白人至上主义者，我们相信他们无处不在。对于今天的一些自由主义者来说，拒绝学习 STEM 并不奇怪。中国人最终意识到了 STEM 的重要性。如果美国人不接受外国竞争的新现实，他们就会落后

7 P  e- g9 F' h7 JThese analyses of China and its technological prowess and commitment to education are tales of progress and potential that few Chinese would recognise. Of course there are various institutes, mostly vocational, that excel in specific technologies. But a considerable number of Chinese students, especially in SMET fields, emigrate and few return to China (when they do State media in China makes it a big deal precisely because it is so uncommon, and prefer not to note that these returnees often retain foreign citizenship). For many Chinese students, exceling on the national exam gets them into a "key university" and from there they get to watch their professors devote their time to graduate students, to research projects, and to side businesses which are often housed in faculty offices that are rented out to people unaffiliated with the school to sell tea, liquor and other amenities online. Universities in China are meant as centres for social connection, not places to explore or problem-solve in the ways that so many Westerners think they must be. As intellectually gifted as many Chinese researchers are, there are far more whose lack of creative thinking catches up with them as they advance, and depart. The United States has many challenges and manufacturing green and clean energy is certainly one of the more vexing. But it would be wrong to look to China for a model to emulate when so many Chinese students and Chinese faculty are in fact gazing in the opposite direction.
1 r* h+ Z' t6 [+ W& G$ H7 o, d这些对中国及其技术实力和对教育的承诺的分析是很少有中国人认识到的进步和潜力的故事。 当然，有各种在特定技术方面表现出色的机构，其中大部分是职业机构。但相当多的中国学生，特别是在 SMET 领域，移民了，很少有人返回中国（当他们这样做时，中国的官方媒体将其视为一件大事，因为这种情况非常罕见，并且不愿注意到这些海归者经常保留外国人）国籍）。对于许多中国学生来说，在全国考试中取得优异成绩可以让他们进入一所“重点大学”，从那里他们可以看到他们的教授把时间花在研究生、研究项目和副业上，而这些副业通常都设在教职员工办公室里。出租给与学校无关的人在网上销售茶、酒和其他设施。中国的大学是社会联系的中心，而不是像许多西方人认为的那样是探索或解决问题的地方。尽管许多中国研究人员具有智力天赋，但还有更多的人在前进和离开时缺乏创造性思维。 美国面临许多挑战，而制造绿色和清洁能源无疑是最令人烦恼的挑战之一。但当如此多的中国学生和中国教师实际上在看相反的方向时，向中国寻求效仿模式是错误的。

I wish we could have a federal government and state government policy of providing a free univeristy and graduate level education to students in the sciences. I know this would quickly devolve to all of the others programs like teeachers and medical education, but what we need is funding of research and students to carry us forward in the sciences. Too bad, once the government starts baking a pie, everyone and their uncle is lined up at the trough.

( H# v( Q$ I. D+ B, y' l$ W  ~One thing to keep in mind is that China also 4x as many people as the US. At some point in the not too distant future, it seems quite possible that half of all university students in the US will be Chinese and Indian, with much higher percentages in STEM fields. One thing I’d like to hear more about is the experience of going through the Chinese education system. Children have to endure a competition pressure cooker, especially in high school. Everyone gets funneled through the same school system, everyone takes the same college entrance exams, and virtually everyone is Han Chinese so there’s one dominant value system/cultural approach to life, shaped in part by the CCP. A friend told me that everyone he knew would be in cram schools until 10pm during high school (I’m super curious to know more than just anecdotes about this topic). This system selects for those with high levels of discipline and motivation, but I imagine it must also be making a lot of kids unhappy. I’ve heard multiple times from Chinese grad student friends that one reason they want to stay abroad is so that their own children don’t have to go through that experience. It’s much easier to grow up in the US. I wonder about the sustainability of the Chinese educational model. That said, while that model may not foster creativity, with 4x the population of the US, you’re still going to get a lot of creative minds nonetheless.
需要记住的一件事是，中国的人口数量也是美国的四倍。在不久的将来的某个时候，美国一半的大学生似乎很可能是中国人和印度人，其中 STEM 领域的比例要高得多。 我想更多地听到的一件事是经历中国教育体系的经历。孩子们必须忍受竞争的高压锅，尤其是在高中。每个人都接受相同的学校系统，每个人都参加相同的高考，而且几乎每个人都是汉族，因此存在一种主导的价值体系/文化生活方式，部分是由中共塑造的。一位朋友告诉我，高中时他认识的每个人都会在补习班直到晚上 10 点（我非常好奇，想知道的不仅仅是关于这个话题的轶事）。这个系统选择的是那些具有高度纪律性和积极性的人，但我想它也一定会让很多孩子不高兴。我多次从中国研究生朋友那里听说，他们想留在国外的原因之一是为了让自己的孩子不必经历这种经历。在美国长大要容易得多。我想知道中国教育模式的可持续性。也就是说，虽然这种模式可能无法培养创造力，但尽管美国人口是美国的四倍，但你仍然会获得很多创造性思维。

The “encouraging” of students identified (at like the middle school level) to have the capabilities to become engineers, and other professions, has been going on for many, many years in China. These students are then placed in schools to advance their abilities, usually away from their family. This opportunity for these students is also encouraged by their parents, as the alternative does not offer anything better. This has resulted in that there are many graduate engineers waiting tables in Beijing, because the market is flooded with these engineers. This fact has been reported on in the past and is not anything new. It is hard for me to imagine this kind of “encouragement” happening is our country.
在中国，“鼓励”那些被认为有能力成为工程师和其他职业的学生（如中学水平）已经持续了很多很多年。然后，这些学生被安置在学校，以提高他们的能力，通常远离家人。这些学生的父母也鼓励他们有这个机会，因为其他选择并没有提供更好的东西。这就导致北京有很多研究生工程师在候补，因为市场上充斥着这些工程师。 这一事实过去已有报道，并不是什么新鲜事。 我很难想象这种“鼓励”发生在我们的国家。

The Chinese are to be applauded for their drive and achievements. By contrast, in the USA we see efforts to eliminate advanced math classes to achieve equity. How can we be so stupid? The USA has already lost the science race but we are now going to spend trillions on new nuclear weapons. Instead of fighting China, we need leaders who can cooperate with them. If they can produce cheap EVs of high quality it is counter productive to start a trade war. With all the problems that humanity now faces, it is time for the two biggest economies to work together for everyone’s benefit.

The Chinese EV surprise to the West is a lot like Han dynasty surprised Xiongnu empire with Han cavalry more than two thousand years ago. The first emperor of the Han dynasty started building cavalry from nothing. It took about a hundred years and many many “contributions” to Xiongnu empire to make peace in the meantime. While Xiongnu empire was indulging with their “earned” wealth and bitter with infighting. Han cavalry knocked their doors. Disbelieving the Han cavalry, Xiongnu lost their bearings and collapsed no long after. Pride comes before a fall, hope not, deflating a bit is a lot easier than blowing up.

China is the world's top polluter so their skill in using batteries rather than coal is a good thing. Rising nations always emphasize technical education over anything else; foreign students in almost every American college are majoring in chemistry, math, physics etc. (and then they want to stay here - good.) And that emphasis changes over time for those nations. And China got a "kick-start" by stealing technology from the West. Maybe we can return that honor now and then.

In the 1960's, America oriented its curricula toward the sciences. The impetus was the "Space Race" we were in against the USSR. This orientation gave us and the world many benefits we're still enjoying today. Despite all the naysaying and criticisms, despite the particular areas other nations might've made inroads, the US is still very much at the top of the scientific heap. But... we are existing in the afterglow of that 60's push, so to speak- there are other nations realizing the value of education in the Sciences, the literally incredible returns on investment. China is just the latest and potentially greatest .. if we don't get on the ball and increase our support of education in the Sciences, we will lose our advantage in at least some of the specialized areas other nations go for

In the 1970s, the West also labeled Japan as copy cats and Korea in the 1980s… it’s a common trope and part of American hubris - a lot of the so called innovation even in the USA comes from foreign talent - Israeli, Chinese, Indian, etc

China has industrial policy, and the US has none. Where we have tried to initiate an industrial policy for a sector, political elements have not supported it, in order to gain power from mere opposition. For example, advanced chip manufacturing: In the interview of Pelosi in today's Times, it is noted that Republicans opposed support for this manufacturing initiative on general principle, not wanting to support anything Biden wanted, rather than supporting a US industrial policy that would counter Chinese efforts. This is even more harmful, in that much of the funding for the CHIPS act would go to "red" states. We should be learning from any advanced country how to manufacture and research better. We can't sit on our laurels. There are huge numbers of smart people around the world hungering for success. We need to exchange ideas with them, learn from them, help them, and understand that a rising tide floats all boats. China has advanced, and India is advancing. The next frontier is Africa.
% H  T7 l* ?+ }2 Z, i中国有产业政策，美国没有。当我们试图针对某个部门制定产业政策时，政治因素并不支持，只是为了从反对派中获得权力。例如先进芯片制造：《今日泰晤士报》佩洛西接受采访时指出，共和党人从总体原则上反对支持这项制造业倡议，不想支持拜登想要的任何东西，而不是支持美国反制中国的产业政策。努力。这甚至更有害，因为 CHIPS 法案的大部分资金将流向“红色”州。 我们应该向任何先进国家学习如何更好地制造和研究。我们不能固步自封。世界各地有大量聪明人渴望成功。我们要与他们交流，向他们学习，帮助他们，懂得水涨船高。 中国进步了，印度也在进步。下一个前沿是非洲。

Meanwhile we waste time here with stuff like SEL and gender studies. When the US was dominant we were like China - and Russia - are now. Look at the military ads, the infamous Emma and her two moms ad, the my hometown ads from the 80s heck, even the text savvy once from the early 2000s. Now compare those to the Russian and the Chinese military ads. One of them is not like the other. We bought too far into the dividend concept, or we just threw our hands up in the air, and ceded power to those who hate this country.

This kind of report that focuses on facts is what we need to help us clear-eyed to rethink, regroup, and stay competitive, not by those baseless accusations at every turn that China uses "slave labor" to keep prices low. We don't want to be a Tonya Harding! After all, China followed the American models of NSF, NIH, etc, to support and promote STEM researches. However, everyone can also see that the US is so rich and so developed that talents tend to gravitate more to law, medicine, and finance, and less to becoming a STEM researcher. And that is one of the challenges we are facing.
我们需要这样一份注重事实的报告，帮助我们清醒地重新思考、重组、保持竞争力，而不是动不动就那些毫无根据的指责中国利用“奴工”来压低物价。我们不想成为托尼娅·哈丁！毕竟，中国效仿了美国NSF、NIH等机构的模式，支持和推动STEM研究。但大家也可以看到，美国如此富裕、如此发达，人才更倾向于法律、医学、金融，而不是成为STEM研究员。这是我们面临的挑战之一。

  ]" q& A9 K0 |There is a demonstrable difference between Chinese and North American attitudes towards education. For me, it was on full view during a visit, in the early 2000s, to the college where I taught by a delegation of Chinese university officials. Our VP Academic asked what accommodations they made for students who failed. The question caused some confusion with the Chinese who asked for clarification, but eventually answered that they simply failed (which caused consternation for their hosts!). Also in the early eighties, a family member, who was a new hire in Finance at NYU Wall St., was told that no one failed.
中国人和北美人对教育的态度存在明显差异。 对我来说，2000 年代初，中国大学官员代表团访问我任教的学院时，我看到了这一切。我们的学术副总裁询问他们为失败的学生提供了哪些便利。这个问题引起了中国人的一些困惑，他们要求澄清，但最终回答说他们只是失败了（这引起了东道主的惊愕！）。 同样是在八十年代初，一位家庭成员是纽约大学华尔街金融学院的新员工，他被告知没有人失败。

Having grown up in a hyper-competitive place in India, one encounters many ‘bright’ kids. The education system is geared towards kids solving problems given to them. Through sheer dint of hard work, memorization and motivation to game the academic system one encounters many who are in the sought after fields of engineering, medicine or other research frontiers. But when we came here many decades ago to university, it was a terrifying experience to be told to think of an original problem. The idea of lending wings to your imagination was an alien concept. That is the difference between the numerous engineers in China or India and the kids here who meander into engineering in the US. No doubt all these people have the intelligence and perseverance. But to make magic, one needs to have freedom to make mistakes, to explore completely incompatible subjects and have epiphanies that can never happen if you streamline and go about your subject like a horse with blinders. Sure you will infinitesimally keep improving the field, but true innovations come not by gaming within a box but by being outrageously bold. I still believe the force is with us. Not any amount of papers or numbers of engineers is going to make China or India superior to the US in the near future.
在印度一个竞争异常激烈的地方长大的人会遇到很多“聪明”的孩子。教育系统旨在让孩子们解决交给他们的问题。凭借纯粹的努力、记忆和玩弄学术体系的动力，人们会遇到许多在工程、医学或其他研究前沿领域备受追捧的人。但几十年前，当我们来到这里上大学时，被告知要思考一个原始问题是一次可怕的经历。为你的想象力插上翅膀的想法是一个陌生的概念。这就是中国或印度的众多工程师与美国的孩子们之间的区别。毫无疑问，这些人都有智慧和毅力。但要创造奇迹，人们需要有犯错误的自由，探索完全不相容的主题，并有顿悟，如果你像一匹蒙着眼罩的马一样简化和处理你的主题，那么这些顿悟就永远不会发生。当然，你会无限地不断改进这个领域，但真正的创新不是来自于盒子里的游戏，而是来自于极其大胆的行为。我仍然相信原力与我们同在。在不久的将来，无论有多少论文或多少工程师都无法使中国或印度优于美国。

In the US it is not uncommon to hear about teachers beating students. In China (and most civilized nations) it is unheard of.

I realized there was a world I'd not experienced in rural America. I received virtually a free undergrad, grad, and professional education. My education was supported by the GI Bill, research fellowships, and merit-based scholarships. I started off as a Math major but couldn't do upper-division courses that required proofs. I switched to Psychology, where one had to take a year of calculus, physics, chemistry, and computer programming in that major. That is no longer the case, and I've run into social science students in retail and fast food. Fortunately, that is not always the case, but the social sciences have dropped many of the past hard science and math requirements. I've seen the negative effects of grade inflation, viewing students as customers, inflated educational costs, increased numbers of administrators and administrative support staff, loss of tenure track positions but also the abuses of tenure privileges, and basically, the monetary rip-off of the parents of American college students.
