SHANGHAI — More than a decade ago, Chinese physicist Pan Jian-Wei returned home from Europe to help oversee research into some of the most important technology of the 21st century.
At a conference in Shanghai this summer, Pan and his team offered a rare peek at the work he described as a “revolution.”
They spoke of the hacking-resistant communications networks they are building across China, the sensors they are designing to see through smog and around corners, and the prototype computers that may someday smash the computational power of any existing machine.
All the gear is based on quantum technology — an emerging field that could transform information processing and confer big economic and national-security advantages to countries that dominate it. To the dismay of some scientists and officials in the United States, China’s formidable investment is helping it catch up with Western research in the field and, in a few areas, pull ahead.
Beijing is pouring billions into research and development and is offering Chinese scientists big perks to return home from Western labs. China’s drive has sparked calls for more R&D funding in the United States, and helped trigger concerns in the Trump administration that some types of scientific collaboration with China may be aiding the People’s Liberation Army and hurting U.S. interests.
“The United States must be prepared for a future in which its traditional technological predominance faces new, perhaps unprecedented challenges,” the Center for a New American Security wrote in a recent report about China’s quantum ambitions.
Quantum technology seeks to harness the distinct properties of atoms, photons and electrons to build more powerful tools for processing information.

Finding enough kids that are good at and want to study STEM is like the military trying to find kids that are fit. Chian is way ahead in STEM studies, while US kids are busy getting their degree in transgender studies. That’s why there are so many Chinese in Universities and in the Corporate and Federal R&D programs.

WHY do we still have so many PRC-sponsored science PhD students in the USA..?
_____________
They pay out of state tuition. Besides, the colleges probably don’t try to recruit white kids.
...and our dumb @$$ political leaders from both sides of the aisle, past/present congresses, presidents, business leaders have allowed the communist to infiltrate every aspect of American society to further their broad espionage efforts.
We just can’t be any more stupid.

Rumor is that Quantum ‘Suicide Bomber Vests’ are beyond the testing stage.
“Lets hope they aren’t using their own steel in their new carrier. “
Let’s hope they are. :)
I had to get new springs for the garage door after only 6-7 years. They would not hold the door up anymore. I asked the repair guy why they won’t last 15 years like they used to.
He said the springs are only made in China now and they’re crap.
What?
YOU don’t want to train the people who are trying to bury us? How un-PC gaijin....
If we spend more time AND MONEY on real science and less on BS global warming scams and other liberal hysterics - we could still win this one...
