That is like claiming Nobel prizes for Germany when an American wins the prize who is "ethnically German."

However, I hate when people say that China can't ever be innovative and they are always only copying and manufacturing. It may be true now, but when China is near developed and the next batch of educated researchers reach their prime, China will definitely be a big innovative nation. I also hate those self-deprecating Chinese who feel that China will never catch up in 1000 years literally. Seriously have some confidence.<BR/><BR/>Also, do you think China lacks freedom of speech in the academic arena which is the main reason why China can't be a technological giant? I really think the main reason is the brain drain to the most advanced west.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
