This trend should have another 20 years to run, at which point China’s workforce will have more STEM grads than the rest of the world combined. All of this is more or less written in stone until 2043. The college grads and STEM majors China’s needs by then have already been born.

And then what?

China, like most Western nations, will discover that pipes still need plunging, homes need repair and factories need workers.

China already imports labor for "unpleasant" jobs. What will happen when 70% of their labor force is a college grad? What about the children born between now and 2043?

Also, please note that while most Chinese college grads are very proficient at their subject, the entire political system in China ensures that favored children will always graduate with honors.

So, much like the West, they will discover that the rot of civilization starts on the inside, as favored children expect that they will always be more important than mere citizens.

“This compares to 18% in the US, 35% in Germany, and 26% in the OECD.”

who do not slavishly follow CCP approved texts. Innovation encouraged.
