America is LOSING its status as science hub of world: More than
75% of STEM workers say China and others have surpassed US

China is set to beat out the U.S. as a global leader in science
and technology

Roughly 60% of STEM workers said China will be the global leader
in five years

. . .

I'd thank Joe ... but this has been in-progress for
a few decades at least.

MUCH easier/cheaper to just EXPORT expertise and
production, isn't it ?

NOW it's ready to bite a big chunk out of our
collective asses.

Barring something extreme, the 'future' is gonna
be China/'asian'. They will make the innovations.
They will set the tone. They will set the terms.

The further 'left' is in celebration ... until
the chunk comes out of THEIR asses too ........

First footprints on Mars ... likely will have the
red star imprinted on them.

Chinese "AI" - esp military - is now at least five years
ahead of anything in the 'west'. In modern times that's
essentially insurmountable. The people who think up
new things ... probably work mostly for China now even
if they don't see the money-chain.

The "west" ... we DID IT TO OURSELVES. Base capitalist
and appeasement logic led to total out-sourcing ... and
that soon included everything. Capitalism is great, but
it requires INTELLIGENCE and INSIGHT. That's been lacking.
