Chinese universities are racing higher in the global rankings. Our soft power problem. 

But as well, China is smart enough to know that all of these economies will be intricately linked to theirs.

More than that, _EVERYTHING_ in the West is considered a profit center and as such, thinks in the profitability in quarters, they _don't care_ about long term profitability, just what they can show their *shareholders* how they did this quarter, let the long term look after itself!

Chinese universities can never compete with those in the U$, not even close. For start, U$ universities have complete freedom. Freedom to do drugs, advanced trans syllabus, modern DEI policies unrivalled anywhere. Not only that U$ universities are leading on re-defining the meaning of gender, most universities in the east have 2 genders, but in the U$ it is limitless, LGBTn, where n=infinite number. China univ is no match for U$ univ.

thanks to Deng XP who had the foresight to send students overseas to further their education. China was able to transitioned from low to mid, and then from mid-level to high tech is a result of that policy.

Wrong. Free market capitalism has been eliminated from the USA for almost 100 years now. The current decline in the United States is 100% due to the socialist/communist government interference in capitalism.

Many people are waking up to the shortcomings of a 4-year election cycle, but we are not wise enough, or upset enough to change it.

They are just following western imperialists minus their mistakes

​@@adolft_officialthey never set up colonies and build 400 military bases around the globe. stfu and talk some sense

@@adolft_officialchinese has been adapting foreign ideologies since ancient times. Said Buddhism, china brought the thinking to china minus the india caste system Then the marxism adapted it to chinese culture then called it socialism with chinese characters 😅

​@@MetaView7hahahaha... Remind me of ARGENTINA 😂 the recent clown show from Argentina is more entertaining than comedy show.

More expensive products are not necessary have better qualities either.

@@agamliandy7843 The best soldiers were trained by hard exercise, not by money.

Sadly, it almost always does. Children who come from wealthy families are massively better resourced and have parents that are usually highly intelligent. No matter if education is free or not, the children of the wealthy are massively over represented in the world's best universities because of genes, environment and resources.

@@96518 poverty is more an indication of intelligence (absence of) than wealth. If you are low-IQ, you have 1 choice and it's to be poor. If you are high-IQ you have the choice to access any level of socio-economic status, stay poor, stay average, or become wealthy.

Attracting the best thinkers from the rest of the world

You forgot the biggest benefit: Chinese universities are not pushing a woke agenda.

More importantly, the allocation of central government research support is more objective and less influenced by the corrupt system in the US which favors certain commercial areas, institutions,and ideologies. This is exemplified above all by the NIH and CDC whose senior administration flows interchangeably with Big Pharma. Never forget that the CDC has a major ownership stake in the patents underlying mRNA vaccines.

​@@sciagurrato1831That's a bold lie that the CDC owns anything in the private corporate world. Prove your point and post references from reputable sources.

Not true. Despite this video'claim China's universities except for a handful don't produce many of the global best. Graduating from Peking University and a few others in Beijing is great but from others in China your diploma is fairly ordinary and not likely to get you a job by itself overseas. As for students from impoverished nations, I'm sure a Chinese university education is better than anything they could get at home.

According to recent German reporting it was all stolen from Germany by Chinese spies 😂😂😂

@@coliv2 There is now a “27” book series on what China invented that says we stole or copied from China But we have had a Eurocentric view of things these last few hundred years 👇 Why was China erased from Western memory The remarkable history of Chinese invention - Why was China erased from Western memory? Article by 龙信明 Introduction Joseph Needham was an English medical doctor and biologist, teaching in England in the 1930s. By an accident of fate he acquired some Chinese students, and was intrigued to hear their claims of so many medical and scientific discoveries having originated in China, rather than in the West. Needham became fully fluent in Chinese, and eventually moved to China in 1942 to investigate these claims and to research the entire history of Chinese invention. That work led to an astonishing voyage of historical discovery. Needham originally planned to write a book cataloguing Chinese inventions, but his first volume barely scratched the surface of his subject. He slowly gatherred many of his students into this enterprise, and they eventually wrote a collection of 26 books, to catalog the history of Chinese discovery. Myth and Misrepresentation It leaves one speechless to learn the vast extent of things invented by the Chinese many hundreds of years, and often several millennia, before they appeared in the West.

Great comment. The results speak for themselves.

@@coliv2 China’s global lead extends to 37 out of 44 technologies that ASPI is now tracking, covering a range of crucial technology fields spanning defence, space, robotics, energy, the environment, biotechnology, artificial intelligence (AI), advanced materials and key quantum technology areas.1 The Critical Technology Tracker shows that, for some technologies, all of the world’s top 10 leading research institutions are based in China and are collectively generating nine times more high-impact research papers than the second-ranked country (most often the US). Notably, the Chinese Academy of Sciences ranks highly (and often first or second) across many of the 44 technologies included in the Critical Technology Tracker. We also see China’s efforts being bolstered through talent and knowledge import: one-fifth of its high-impact papers are being authored by researchers with postgraduate training in a Five-Eyes country.2 China’s lead is the product of deliberate design and long-term policy planning, as repeatedly outlined by Xi Jinping and his predecessors.3

Just look into the classrooms of chinese students from primary to high school and one can see that the Chinese education standard has risen sooo much.

Damn right!

The old silk road and now the new silk rd aka BRI

all the politicians heading to China Macron, Scholz, Maloni, Yellen . . .

All roads lead to ch1na period (includes the cosmos too)!! Well put.

@@hz240 the old silk rd was 1000s of yrs old before Marco Polo "discovered" China using EXISTING maps. The west loves "made in China". China is "zhongguo" = center of the world😂

Not so. Articles about students from Africa describe stings attached although they might be in the form of job opportunities no one else but the Chinese government might offer.

@@tonysu8860your point?

@@tonysu8860 so they offered 50,000 scholarships to african students and the strings attached to it is called a 'job offer'? that's a bad thing? really? is this an upside down world we live in or what or is it just in your head?

False. China always attached. If you can not Pay loans at higher rate, China takes you down and takes over at your country.

Exactly! When the leaders of the Global South learn how to do anti-imperialism by emulating China, the West is going to have a very tough time.

100% agree with you on this comment!

Not necessarily, they have couch jobs waiting for them or a family fortunate to inherit.

So true

ya

They do but typical mainland Chinese especially from rural tend to think "land of freedom" have better and higher standard of education. They rather don't eat, wear worn clothes just to fund their kids abroad especially to America but they don't realize China University is better, stricter and syllabus is more to science + tech instead of "gender confusing/dorm s3x party/get laid" in America.

Agree,the Engineering in China is superb and very demanding courses.

Those American universities are known for more than liberal arts. Most if not all have strong law schools which is nearly non-existent in all of China. Most have strong medical schools far advanced of anything that exists in China and the same is true for related sciences like biology. And MIT is regularly considered the leader or among others at the top in engineering and technology, far advanced ahead of anything seen in China. Those are just a few examples but it's why the US is so far ahead in knowledge and technology. China does a good job improving on ideas but is very backward in researching the basic and advanced sciences.

@@tonysu8860 You may say that but I know in the UK, that Imperial College is the top scientific-engineering-medical university but doesn't even appear in the global list. This means that the difference in ranking between Oxford-Cambridge and Imperial College is accounted for by their liberal arts curriculum and reputation. What this tells us is that these general global rankings do not inform us much about science-technology rankings. As to the US superiority in medical schools, that can be discounted by the number of Americans that actually have access to the best medical treatment. China's institutions are coming from not even appearing in the top 100 a decade ago. That they now feature in the top 10 is testimony to their improvement and closing the gap with Western institutions. In the main, these Chinese institutions are not advancing up the rankings based on a liberal arts curriculum, i.e. producing lawyers and humanities graduates. They are advancing up the rankings based on their excellence in scientific-technical education. These rankings are not a static unchanging table and the direction of travel for China's institutions points to matching and even superseding Western universities.

Not true, they also produces top notch scientists. Check their novel winners.

@@tonysu8860 you still believe that ! , if the US is far ahead Gina Raimondo , Blinken and Yelen wouldn't be issuing threats to China.....they are certainly not doing that to any other country in Asia, except may be North Korea...China is producing high class Engineers than any other countries in the world ,China leads the world in 37 out of 44 critical technologies....so again what are you talking about here ?

About half of US government politicians in Senate & Congress are lawyers.

the colleges have priced themselves out of students, even the homegrown ones. the tuition is so high, kids are already convincing themselves that college is not necessasry to be succesful. Thus nobody wants to be engineers, researchers, or study in the STEm fields, how can they when the tuition is out of their reach.

That's misleading. That evaluation would be true in application and implementation but ignores the fact that China typically isn't the original creator, discoverer or owner of that technology. For anything that's open source and publicly licensed, China can do whatever it can with that technology with few restrictions but for anything that's publicly licensed, China has problems.

@@tonysu8860 China is granted more patents than the USA and Japan combined! In 2021, China was granted 607,758 patents. USA, 286,205 patents. Japan, 256,890 patents. China is highly inventive and innovative.

Benar sekali. Berangkat hanya tau 2 gender, pulangnya bawa ratusan gender Yang membingungkan...

Those who failed to enter Chinese top universities have no choice but to go abroad.

Because it’s far easier to get into a top university in USA. It’s like 10x harder to get into Tsinghua than Harvard. Too much competition to go university in China

Cause they are not competitive in China period.

@@hanmi1216 Chinese best two uni accept 8k students every year, and there are more than 10 million students every year attend college entrance exam.

People prefer to spend money on liabilities, Rather than investing in assets and be very profitable

You are so correct! Save, invest and spend for necessities and a few small luxuries relatives to one's total assets ratio.

Making a living is becoming more challenging, and it's difficult for me to save enough to enjoy quality time with my loved ones.

Even though digital currency has taken over the world, people still work for people. So, why not consider buying stocks and crypto and holding onto them?

That's a great point! With the rise of digital currency, investing in stocks and crypto can be a smart move. It's a way to potentially grow your wealth and secure your financial future.

Nice plan, just be careful you might get accused by the US government as a spy for the chinese.

奇貨可居也😂

Shhhhh... don't tell them please, please, please!

China has overcapacity in their education which ruins American university business. We should put a tariff to American students who choose to study in China to make an even plain field for American universities to compete.

@@DragonYang01 No. That would be a terrible idea. People exchange/interaction is better for overcoming political vitriol. China should encourage Americans to visit and study in China and let Americans see for themselves that their rabid politicians have been gaslighting them.

Many EU countries have free education.

@@BSnicksthat is true but first China is an emerging superpower and second Chinese respect all people, regardless of their origins, religions etc. the 5000 years Chinese civilization is very inclusive.

I pity them. Where else could then get gender studies PhD? Or is it PTSD?

@@jggouvea i THOUGHT you were joking until i googled it. WOW unreal, the duimbest sh1t i ever seen! They might as well give Ph.D in watching and studying how birds take a sh1t while flying at the same time, a 4yr education is needed for this.

Gender study is another useless degree.

@@kaleeysmith8801 Wait, I WAS JOKING. Don't tell me that "Gender studies PhD" exists! Please, I want to remain ignorant.

Lol one of the reasons why many Chinese working/living in the US are flying back home is because they fear the schools in America will cut off their children’s d*k…especially so for those IT workers in California😅

I still prefer "sea turtle"😂

I thought sea turtle was brilliant.

You just can’t accept that they are better. Pathetic tribalism

The capitalist system's mission is to capture the maximum amount of money the buyer is willing to pay -- to the amount that is way over its equitable value if there is more than one buyer bidding for the same item. That's why so many commodities are overpriced. eg. housing in the big city.

You said it right. Ich bin Chinese, und aus Taiwan. Schon während meines Gymnasiums konnte ich Englisch sprechen, und im zweiten Jahr an der Universität lernte ich Deutsch - ebenfalls in Taiwan. Genau wie Sie sagten, ohne ins Ausland zu gehen.

China sees higher education as a public good. The US sees higher education has higher profits.

这种想法很危险，自己国家的学生都不包分配，还给留学生超国民待遇，肯定会被骂死
