American universities were buoyed for decades by the fact that every talented person in six continents competed for a position at even mid-tier U.S.-institutions.
Now higher education is fundamentally a profit machine that floats on predatory student loans, and investments in research and researchers have not kept up. Also, U.S. is a significantly less attractive place to move to.
The leopards are eating the faces.
when i was working in technology research we had low trust on Chinese publications, they have to gain in quality more than quantity
It’s still true now. China puts out far more trash than anything worth reading. Their universities still promote and reward researchers based upon number of papers published.
China is near the top nation for the number of published papers later being retracted.
China is a publication mill. What’s on the paper isn’t as important as how many papers have your name.
Because that is totally not the case in America…
It’s really not the same thing at all.
It’s funny just reading the headline… Experts warn that Chinese research is getting good? Like, is that a bad thing, or why do we have to be warned about it xD isn’t research in general just good
Yup, Beijing has some of the best bioengineering papers I’ve seen lately regarding gene editing and microbiology, even some biochemistry. Chinese medical philosophy trends towards holistic systems, versus Western medicine which looks at discrete conditions. So China has made a lot of advancements in areas where this flexible thinking is benefiting them and is a more accurate way of looking at biology.
This sounds very interesting. I wouldn’t mind if you expanded on it.
Science is captured by corpos… They pay for a bulk of it and they get results they need.
Who carws if it is fake, we won’t find out for 10 years but corpos get the PR when they need it.
you can see it already in consumer products.
China is 2 years ahead of any other country with foldable phones. The recently-announced American Pixel fold looks like a 2022 foldable from china, with specs to match and a shit processor.
the free market people love so much is working against the US now. We don’t make shit, this is the result of boomers selling out American manufacturing in the 70s.
Call a support line for an American company, tell me if you talk with an American.
look at the label on your clothes and goods. Likely 1% was made in America.
Another thread where Americans cry about China 🤣
It’s not about americans crying but more a comparison.
Americans love to whine about China’s success.
you’re going to act like the entirety of American social media isn’t constantly whining about China?
We should be improving instead of whining. blame the boomers that sold our country overseas in the 70s
Most normal Americans don’t care about China. Only your echo chamber does.
Why do people keep talking about it? Go to any technology sub. People literally buy devices not based on how good they are but what country they are from 😂
Have fun being 2 years behind
there must be a huge propoganda campaign going on, I see this sentiment all over social media lately
I think the US is imtimidated by China’s success. We only have ourselves to blame for outsourcing our manufacturing and service. The boomers sold this country to the highest bidder
If you want America to lead the world again, stop supporting companies that sell out our country
Walmart. Target. Amazon. FiveBelow. etc.
