It’s a lot easier for a unified people that doesn’t have to waste intellectual time and energy on becoming more diverse. In China half of their education system isn’t geared towards feel good degrees.
But many of the best Chines researchers are in the U.S. It is like when the U.S. Math team beat the Chinese Math Team; and the U.S. tea, was 100% Chinese-American
Do you know that when I was in grad school, 50% of the grad students were from China, getting paid off of U.S. Federal grants. So basically, we were paying them to get educated...then they move back there.
Its a scam, just as bad as a US citizen that goes to CA college from out of state pays out of state rate, but an illegal that shouldn't even be in the country pays instate rate.
