One thing I notice in the West especially is this tendency to severely underestimate how much change China has gone through in the past 30ish years. It’s unprecedented at a scale that I don’t portend to even attempt to understand as well, but I think it’s severely overlooked as many in the West

Definitely overlooked. China has essentially been remade overnight within one generation (~30 years) Feels like the education in STEM in China has been outpacing US but we haven't really seen the effects of this yet

If we wait to see the effects of it, it’ll be too late

China is definitely being discounted, but let us not conflate the weakness of US education with the talent of researchers in the US. Top talent still heads there, including those trained in China. The key is where do people want to live and whose products do people want to buy. The moment that changes, all bets are off

i'd say that the effects are just not felt in the west bc of the broader overlooking issue

But China's development in the last 30 years still follows the paradigm set by the west, at least in terms of STEM. Only better and cheaper, but hardly innovative in terms of breakthrough tech.
