Midea displayed new air conditioners are AWE2023
it currently produces over 100 million compressors a year with 40% market share. It's goal for next year is 1billion. hmm, probably a lot more than 100 million right now then

报道称，美的空调内的电机、压缩机、电子膨胀阀、芯片，都是美的自研、自产，自己掌握了这些命脉，不担心卡脖子问题

motors, compressors, electronic expansion valves, and chips in Midea's air conditioners are all self-developed and produced by Midea.

why 36%? why not 66%, 88%, 100%? Do you have any idea 36% of the people translate into how many people?

If we look at those so-called western countries and OECD countries, they have about 30-45% of high school students going to universities and colleges. So why not for China, even though the sheer size of China is huge? Studying in universities is an experience, even though students can enter totally unrelated professions after graduation.

University of Science and Technology of China has made important progress in the multi-level qubit control scheme.

The team of Academician Guo Guangcan of our school has made important progress in the research of qubit control schemes. The team, Professor Guo Guoping, Professor Li Haiou, and Professor Gong Ming, cooperated with Professor Hu Xuedong of the State University of New York at Buffalo and Benyuan Quantum Computing Co., Ltd. to conduct research on the quantum control of multi-level systems commonly found in quantum dot systems, and found that A new and practical scheme for multi-energy level regulation. In this scheme, by adjusting parameters such as microwave driving frequency and amplitude, any energy level structure can be realized, and then high-speed and anti-noise qubit manipulation can be realized. This manipulation scheme provides a new way to achieve high-fidelity qubit manipulation. The research results were published in Physical Review Applied, a well-known international journal of applied physics published on April 19.

A lot of those graduates couldn’t get jobs and live in their parents’ basements

Germany, Italy and Greece have similar tertiary education attainment as China.

I don't need my barista to have a university degree in English literature to serve me coffee. Or women studies or gender studies or any other useless "degree".

You know what's a big issue right here in the Netherlands. Getting highly skilled blue collar workers because everybody that was decently talented went to get a bachelor degree in something but can't find a job in it. And the old guard that would have trained new generation of blue collar workers went into pension during the 2008 crisis.

From what I heard the same is happening in multiple sectors over multiple educational degree, the savings the Dutch governments pushed through 8~12 years ago are now starting to bite the economy. Because talented people didn't pool into those sectors. So a lot of institutional knowledge will be lost knowledge people build up from experience.

Exactly what's happening in South Korea where uni graduates are mass produced like Samsung phones, except that the chaebols can't absorbed any more local grads, and the big multinationals like Samsung focus on hiring overseas. These SKor bachelor degree holders end up in coffee and fried chicken joints, which there are at least 3 on every Seoul city block.

Expansion of tertiary education was a way for European nations to reduce and privatise youth unemployment in the 1990s, with conscription no longer being politically viable. For leftist parties it also increased and subsidised a largely left-voting constituency. This was combined with massive grade inflation (more people get 1st class degrees in the UK now than actually went to university when I did). This all seemed like a good idea at the time but we ended up with a load of young people with useless degrees, huge debts, and large amounts of resentment. China should really avoid this approach if at all possible. University should be publicly funded for the brightest 10-15% with the remainder going to (also publicly funded) technical schools. If someone really wants to spend 3-4 years studying lesbian dance theory with underwater basket weaving then they should be allowed to do that, but on their own coin, not the state's.

No sane blue collar parent is going to send its child to become a blue collar worker, even if it makes financial sense

I think people really underestimate the physical toll that this kind of work takes on your body. Young people may not feel it but wait till they get older and that's when it hits you like a truck.

You go out and ask 100 blue collar workers if they would like their kid to have the same job in they future and I bet that something like >90 of them would say no
