This article has a lot of good points but also a lot of errors.

First of all, the Chinese civilization is not 5000 years old, that’s Chinese propaganda. it’s somewhere around 3,500 year olds.

2ndly, this is reason for concern but not for alarm. It doesn’t matter how much they spend on R&D, their return on investment is always tiny compared to the west. Because in a society where any independent thought is immediately punished, it’s very difficult to accomplish goals that require ingenuity and creativity. That’s why China spend so much of their effort on stealing western research, they can’t do it themselves.

Many Chinese are US patent holders.

Chinese researchers unraveled Covid’s molecular structure last year.

What happened 1,500 years before the 3,500 Chinese civilization?

This isn’t true any more. Independent political thoughts are punished, but inventions can be and are highly rewarded.

It’s no wonder the Deep State loves the Chinese system - it is our system, with a permanent ruling class untroubled by the prospect of being removed by deplorables. :)
