similar to how the USSR was constantly made to look more technologically advanced
You mean like how they beat the US to every milestone except actually putting a footprint on the damn moon? Russia was always ahead until they ran out of budget. All the US did was quietly admit defeat, hire the designer of the V2 rocket (of nazi germany weapons designer fame) to re-create his rocket for a moon landing and then the US brag like they achieved it.
You have a point about the tiresome ‘Usa vs China’ line in modern media.
Though i think its fair to recognise China’s technical capabilities are getting pretty amazing, and are accelerating. Which does contrast the previous western rhetoric of China being ‘backwards and only capable of cheap knockoffs’.
Their science/eng are getting really good tbh. And it is fair to recognise that.
I’ll also BET that most of the relevant scientists from each nation have huge amounts of mutual respect for each other, and it’s mostly the media/politics which is spinning this bs oppositional tone.
Not sure how that’s at all relevant to discussing China’s technological achievements here. A quantum computer with 113 detected photons is a huge achievement, and that’s the topic of the article.
That’s an incredibly ignorant statement. Quantum computing is applicable to a plethora of problems that cannot be tackled using classical computing. Some examples you could’ve easily googled yourself here https://builtin.com/hardware/quantum-computing-applications

If you don’t understand why solving problems like protein folding is useful then what else is there to say to you.

china is a good country so people defend it, there is no propaganda here
