But doesn't China just steals and copies the US? Your average US citizen believes this is the only way China is advancing. In reality, China has smartly invested future industries as well as prioritizing education. In the raw number of patents and research papers published, China has just surpassed the US.
Sigh! --will we ever get out of this tedious "Us and Them" mindset --where a discovery made in the west is 'A brilliant leap forward for mankind' but a discovery made elsewhere is a cause for alarm?
Personally I'm exicted to read about the vast majority of science and technology breakthroughs --whether they come from Europe, US, China or wherever. I stopped drinking the "my country's better than your country" kool-aid decades ago.
