China does what a normal society does -- believe in science and humanity and act accordingly.
It was the west collectively that, under the pressure from competition, have lost their mind and started hysteria.

Can't comment on the Chinese threat aspect, but linear algebra still gave me nightmares even a decade after graduating, so maybe she's not wrong on that...
I don't think it's too crazy to question how much math people can learn at those ages. I don't think there is any point in forcing people to take classes in Calculus or more advanced algebra because it probably is setting them up for failure.
I don’t think it’s necessarily paranoia. It could be scapegoating China for clickbaits.
I read the article and I think she has a huge grudge against math. Likely because she got an F and maybe wore a dunce cap in the corner as punishment.
“Deeply Humiliating.” Sounds way to personal to the author lmao.

Tiktok's turn to help! Start the Failed-Math-cus-I'm-anti-CCP Challenge in the West. Twerk with your lowest math exam score taped to your ass!
That's because it looks like Britain has lost the will to do Maths too, I guess.
I call this the "George Costanza school of geopolitics".
But anyway the anglo countries have always had an under current of anti-intellectualism, from time to time it surfaces.
Is maybe clickbait but it will probably feed the irrational fears of gullible who probably don't know better, that there is an evil Chinese conspiracy to tech mathematics to UK kids or something like that.
That is how they keep the propaganda machine running, by pushing their agendas into people normal daily lives, like "Chinese made toilets seats may spy your human waste". They do it willing or inadvertently, to keep people in a state of irrationality.
Dude, math is the basis of all fields of science.
But realistically, how many people are going into science fields?
That is what I'm pointing out.
I'm not 100% enlightened on this, but I believe most places around the world start to stream kids at age 16. That is, are they going to University (and for what), Vocational School, or something else.
If their math abilities are not high, then you can only teach to a certain level. What do you do about that?
I'm not saying there is no point in teaching math past the age of 16, but for many people, it should be a matter more of practicality than academics.
