Make fun all you want ,but anyone who has worked with Chinese engineers and scientists know they are first rate. They send their kids 6 days a week growing up to primary school where they learn , hard science and mathematics. They have the full calculus and physics track done by the end of secondary school before University. Something Americans don’t do until freshman year. They send their kids to top tier one universities here in the USA where the researchers are also Chinese on staff having got here a generation ago. Look at any major University in engineering, material sciences and mathematics. Look at the names of who is head of staff and who is publishing research. China is easily the world leader in fusion tech and also leaping ahead with fast reactors, and fission nuclear tech. While the USA is eliminating graduation standards and promoting purple haired girl boys , China is raising an army of scientists,mathematicians and engineers. I encourage people to travel to a modern Chinese city at least once. You cannot fathom what they have done until you see it yourself. Massive 10 lame highways, high speed rail everywhere that’s spotless, same for subways.everything is smart as in internet of things. They are not a developing country in their special economic zones they put the EU and most USA cities to shame in infrastructure. Trump is right we need to get off our butts and start modernizing everything or those chicoms will own the 21st century.

I am shamefully ignorant of the science of fusion tech but I am smart enough to understand the threat emanating from China by virtue of its technical education achievements that you starkly outline.

The need for these Chinese brains to compete with China certainly has to do with H1B visas. The need to control the threatening consequences to our national and commercial security of these visas, again respecting China, needs to be carefully monitored.

yes and they make really good bioweapons made from bat dna to kill millions upon million of people. Screw them. It sure would be horrible if their dam broke. I’d lose sleep. ( would sleep like a baby)

Very true, and the Chinese excel in the areas of theoretical physics and abstract mathematics that are critical to research in Fusion and other nuclear processes.

Americans just don't go into these fields because they are very hard and the lucrative jobs don't exist in the post Cold War US anymore.

I was there a couple of years ago and I agree with your assessment.

If we don’t get back to meritocracy ASAP, and bury DEI forever, the Chinese will cook our goose.

C’mon, this is Free Republic. Denial and jingoism are more fun. You are such a buzz kill.

One of China's biggest exports has been students. Often these are grad level students studying at some of the best universities in the world, that then go back to China.

China also has the advantage of being to focus on what's important versus worrying about what group may get offended, or if some {insert animal or insect here} will lose it's ancestral home.
