It is important to compare the cohort size and who is going where.
At no point China had 60% of its best university students emigrating to the US after graduating.

Oh missed this in the earlier reply. You can look at it this way, India is losing 8/10 of its top STEM talent but China is loosing 30/100. That means America is getting more top tier STEM talents from China than India.

In percentage wise India looks bigger because they're producing fewer to begin with.

China also has an overproduction of semi qualified personnel, to the point where youth unemployment is fairly high even with a lot of expatriates.

The situation is really not comparable at all. China has about as much population as all of Europe, and as of 2023, the newest generation now has the same gdp per capita as Europe as well. However, the ones going out now are the young adults, which are slightly less affluent.

Still, that means China makes a ton of "skilled" workers (at least on paper skilled lol). Just like you find Europeans pretty much anywhere, it is now also become common that to find Chinese anywhere, as they can afford to move.

In contrast, India still needs every single one of its professionals for development, but it isn't getting them due to cultural/economic reasons.

With a fulfilled demand at home, there's no way China can realistically hold onto all it's population. The best China can do is to sharply discourage expats from going to enemy countries, but the CPC itself is reluctant to draw clear lines between allies and enemies. Raising immigration to for example Russia or certain states in West Europe and Africa/Middle East would be a better solution. From there on, immigrant communities can act as liaisons that exchange Chinese culture to the locals.

Likely a worse brain drain than PR China ever experienced.
Yet out of those millions, the top 1% of Indian talent and “brains”, how much of that is applied to the hard material sciences and engineering? And how much of it goes into loquacious bullshit jobs where these Indians can use their nepotistic family connections to pull their cousins and cousins’ cousins into iron rice bowl positions? Oracle, Microsoft, McKinsey…the evidence speaks for itself.

In other worst best kept secrets of the new cold war

I really want IRBMs on Cuba and Mexico, after all the anglos want to out missiles on the Philippine, they should have no problem with Chinese hypersonic missiles on Cuba.

ASEAN FIRST JOINT SCS PATROL

Misleading reporting by CNA. Saying that Indonesia is doing this "joint patrol" to send a message to China.

Firstly, China is not a major claimant of the Natuna Islands area. Its 9-dash line barely overlaps over that area. Second, China helped Indonesia to salvage it's sunken submarine in 2021. If Indonesia really had beef with China, it would have most likely refused that help. Preferring to ask the US, Japan, or other Western nations for help.

To Indonesia, it's main rivals for the Natuna area are Malaysia, Vietnam, and maybe Brunei. Its biggest tensions are with Vietnam in particular. There were several videos of their coast guards colliding with each other.

The SCS disputes are again, a complex matter. Singapore is not a major claimant in the SCS. So its media tends to oversimplify the matter, and take on a Western slant to reporting about it. Afterall, Singapore is a founding member of ASEAN. So some people in Singapore tend to think that Singapore is the 'leader' of ASEAN. Like what Brussels is to the EU. Nope, it doesn't work like that. Most SEA nations won't accept any one country to become the overall leader of ASEAN. Not Singapore for sure.

How did the black panther movies do in Asia, I believe they did quite well.
If you want to ask China's opinion on this movie, I can only say that the evaluation is not good.
But on the other hand, the box office performance is not too bad (excluding Black Panther 2)
Although movie special effects are still very impactful, it is difficult for audiences to understand why the world's most technologically advanced country use spears to fight.

Real African film industry workers are very diligent, and those who claim to respect black people may as well sponsor the film industry in Africa. But the result is that Hollywood will only use these boring things to please equally mentally impoverished African Americans.

Giga based if true. Should also host a few nuclear-tipped ICMBs there to promote regional peace and stability.
Yea no, any one who knows the Anglos would instinctually distrust any claim they make, they are most likely making up stories to manufacture consent for more sanctions, blockades and political interference.

Utter rubbish.
No one in Singapore "thinks Singapore is the leader of ASEAN".
Singapore encouraged ASEAN mostly because it knew it was weak and small, not because it wanted to become a leader.

It's true that Singapore tends to simply parrot what western media says about everything. But that is simply because Singapore is too weak to actually have its own viewpoint and project it. Plus I don't even know how you link parroting the western media to "thinking you are the leader"

These 2 matters are completely different things.

Nah, this is a shit take. I don't know about the younger generation, but most Singaporeans born in the 60s and 70s have a siege mentality and in no way fancy themselves leaders of ASEAN.
