    China graduate 5 million STEM students a year and actually invest money into research and pushing technology instead of just finding new ways to extract rent.

    A lot of Western nations are actually reducing their funding to sciences.

    Shooting themselves in the foot and then blaming China for it.

      The first axe will always be to the humanities though. The program opportunities between engineering students and liberal arts students at my uni is night and day. Partly why I’m doing a double major, there’s just not a sustainable future in the humanities.
