Can't we go to war with somebody over anything?
Please?
"China investing billions to become a superpower in science" by John Pomfret, Washington Post | July 4, 2010
SHENZHEN, China — China has barged back into the ranks of the great powers in science. With the brashness of a teenager, China’s scientists and inventors are driving a resurgence in potentially world-changing research.
Unburdened by social and legal constraints common in the West, China’s trailblazing scientists are also pushing the limits of ethics as they create a new — and to many, worrisome — Wild West in the Far East.

Nothing more unethical than that.
No wonder the war criminal scum live so long.
A decade ago, no one considered China a scientific competitor. Its best and brightest agreed and fled China in a massive brain drain to university research labs at Harvard, Stanford, and MIT.
And then the newspapers and government accused them of being spies, remember?
But over the past five years, Western-educated scientists and gutsy entrepreneurs have conducted a rearguard action, battling China’s hidebound bureaucracy to establish research institutes and companies. Those have lured home scores of Western-trained Chinese researchers dedicated to transforming the People’s Republic of China into a scientific superpower....
I'm glad they got a good ejerkashen because us Amurkns sure didn't.
China has invested billions in improving its scientific standing.
Too bad you gave yours to banks and war-looters, 'murka.
Almost every Chinese ministry has some sort of program to win a technological edge in everything from missiles to medicine....
Sort of like the U.S. government handing out tax loot.
Also see:
"Last year, China invested about $34 billion in solar panels, wind turbines, and other alternative energy technologies, nearly twice as much as the United States, where spending fell sharply"
OOPS AGAIN, 'murka!!
