content: Gotta remember the population of China is about 1.4 billion. Chinese are everywhere simply by numbers. Just 1% of Chinese doing something would be 14 million people. The total enrollment in all US colleges for contrast is about 20 million. Oddly enough this is directly related to the article. China is starting to become technologically comparable in many ways to the US. In some areas, they're already far ahead of us. The problem as they catch up on anything is that they have 400% the talent pool paired with a government that's vastly more technologically oriented than the US. Them catching up doesn't put them on a level playing field, but put us at a severe disadvantage that's not likely changing in the foreseeable future.
