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

But maybe it’s already late just the effect has not felt yet because west is still more focused on other issues.

agreed but the US govt apparatus is painfully slow in making big, sweeping changes.  The education system in the US is broken.

There's still time but we need to get out of our own way
