Was it ever the science and technology thread?...is this still the science and technology thread?
Well, your explanation has nothing to do with anything going on here. If that's what you were thinking, there would be no reason to bring it up. My explanation, that your arguments are garbage, is dead on relevent and everyone can see.Nah, I'm just bad on the stand with immediately coming up with cross-examined witnesses. Most of the courtroom is filing pretrial motions and taking depositions and that just involves being a pedantic fuck and knowing the case law.
Because you're wrong and have trouble accepting it. You digress too much.Anyway, I'm not sure why I'm continuing to do this but I digress.
Ok, you clearly did not understand what you quoted:The skill is worth more because it is scarce.
1 and 3 are what I say. No to your second addition; it presents security risks, harms Chinese homogenity (which is a spectrum, not a yes/no), and adds to an oversupply of STEM. Developing Chinese talent, with foreign short term contractors alleviates everything. The solution is simply superior.Or 1. immigrate sea turtles, 2. immigrate foreigners but most importantly, 3) develop the talent at home.
I don't know what "unnecessary" means. You probably trapped yourself into another round of need vs want here. Chinese want to remain homogeneous and your inability to comprehend this doesn't change anything.Yeah, no. That's unnecessary and serves no purpose but does hurt the demographic structure (and has various netty fiscal issues), not to mention that Han Chinese is a sort of *None of the Above ethnic group.
This is stupid; it's just a repeated and unsubstantiated regurgitation. The crime rate is irrelevent and incalculable as it pertains here. It's obvious that a Chinese person who chose to return to China is less likley to betray the nation, whether legally or illegally than a foreigner with either no relevent allegience (except to money) or allegience to a hostile power. There is no reason to believe that the security risks are easy to mitigate; a person working in a highly specialized role in your company will invariably understand at least parts of your strategy and come into contact with sensitive information. If he quits and goes back home, there is nothing you can do to stop him from using what he knows to help the companies of his nation against yours.The problem is that the crime rate for both groups is very low and highly variable so again, it's functionally moot-ish. And again, the national security risks are fairly easy to mitigate.
Everyone else understands. Lots of people agree. That you don't and need them repeated again and again doesn't make you a tough debator; it makes you... less able to comprehend things; what do they call it? Stupid.No, you didn't. You gave a bunch of conjectures and described what convergence was.
Ok, so you admit that you were wrong, good.Yes, China had optics, vibrations, and MechE talent that could make a lithography scanner and commercial presence don't necessarily reflect capabilities because markets don't always align. Chinese policy should have an industrial policy that keeps some capabilities latent in case of supply shocks so I agree here, it's not exactly one-to-one in China.

The next general-purpose technologies: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Digital Communications and to a lesser extent, quantum computing (though that has a whiles off before commercialization)Come on guys enough time to move on
Western analyst and MSM find all kind of fault with Chinese economy from baby bust, run away debt, it get old before getting rich, pear shape demographic profile, rising labor cost. But they forget Chinese dynamism, entrepreneur spirit, chinese intelligent. Far from getting stuck in middle income trap, China will kept the economy advance with new invention and new production method. From Yahoo
China Is Still the World's Factory—And It's Designing the Future With AI

For many years now, China has been the world’s factory. Even in 2020, as other economies struggled with the effects of the pandemic, China’s manufacturing output was $3.854 trillion, up from the previous year, accounting for nearly a third of the global market.
But if you are still thinking of China’s factories as sweatshops, it’s probably time to change your perception. The Chinese economic recovery from its short-lived pandemic blip has been boosted by its world-beating adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). After overtaking the U.S. in 2014, China now has a significant lead over the rest of the world in AI patent applications. In academia, China recently surpassed the U.S. in the number of both AI research publications and journal citations. Commercial applications are flourishing: a new wave of automation and AI infusion is crashing across a swath of sectors, combining software, hardware and robotics.
As a society, we have experienced three distinct industrial revolutions: steam power, electricity and information technology. I believe AI is the engine fueling the fourth industrial revolution globally, digitizing and automating everywhere. China is at the forefront in manifesting this unprecedented change.
Chinese traditional industries are confronting rising labor costs thanks to a declining working population and slowing population growth. The answer is AI, which reduces operational costs, enhances efficiency and productivity-, and generates revenue growth.
For example, Guangzhou-based agricultural-technology company XAG, a Sinovation Ventures portfolio company, is sending drones, robots and sensors to rice, wheat and cotton fields, automating seeding, pesticide spraying, crop development and weather monitoring. XAG’s R150 autonomous vehicle, which sprays crops, has recently been deployed in the U.K. to be used on apples, strawberries and blackberries.
Some companies are rolling out robots in new and unexpected sectors. MegaRobo, a Beijing-based life-science automation company also backed by Sinovation Ventures, designs AI and robots to safely perform repetitive and precise laboratory work in universities, pharmaceutical companies and more, reducing to zero the infection risk to lab workers.
Here's the research article on it.
