This is absolutely true and unfortunately this post is down voted a lot. Denying facts doesn’t make them go away.
I mean, you say that but the ccp has a long long history of denying facts. At this point i kinda question any claim made about china
Tiananmen Square massacre was something horrific and most of it is still quite hidden and China is still denying it.
Let’s not deny facts. Now, this present post is about China’s Science and technology capacities.
China might have some real scientific progress going on, but the country has also become a notorious diploma mill and peer review mill, publishing absolute trash. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/02/scientists-aghast-at-bizarre-ai-rat-with-huge-genitals-in-peer-reviewed-article/
Not to mention that much of their supposed technological advancement is the direct result of stealing tech from western partners (who have been required to have a Chinese “partner” in order to do business) or outright industrial espionage.
well yeah, they put money into education and science. you can’t dumb people down so they don’t revolt then expect them to be smart when you need smart people stuff done.
