China May Soon Lead the U.S. in Tech

Some of those crappy States house a US National Laboratory.

Btw, Impressive Infographics is some no name outfit from India. Do you believe everything you see on the internet?

If we remove Mississippi I guarantee we get 10+ points.

I am sorry but California is also dumb.

It is plainly obvious if this country was split into two - horse dewormer and non horse dewormer parts which would win the lowest IQ "prize".

I was joking. If you dig into the data behind that website, you'll find that it's not very reliable.

areas where China leads the US

- high-speed train system
- finance technology
- hyper missile
- modular concept / high speed building construction
- AI facial recognition
- EV

Doubt it. The advantage that the US has is that it attracts talent from all over the world--many who stay and build the future here. China is extremely homogenous and authoritarian, which means global talent won't flock there.

Yeah but it's a little discomforting that a large source of talent comes from China. It's nice that the West does have an advantage of attracting talent but it also helps that the West can cultivate home-grown talent as well so there is no over-reliance on attracted talents especially when the West does have a large pool of untapped talent. If you ever studied math and science, you will find 90+% of the theorems and rules and formulas are all discovered by mathematicians and scientists in the West. Even modern technology today is the same thing. All we need is to cultivate that talent.

- hyper missile
- modular concept / high speed building construction
- AI facial recognition
- EV

-AI facial recognition no
-finance technology no
-EV definitely no
-hypersonic missile maybe because much military information in the USA are classified

The rest is because USA doesn't have a need for them as USA does not have as high of a population as China so it's meaningless for USA to develop them to be like in China. China needed to develop high-speed train systems because it has a massive number of people to move around the country. It developed the modular building concept (it's actually nothing new) that resulted in high-speed building construction because it has a massive number of people to house and the building technology actually resulted in over-construction due in part to mismanagement of land and corruption in various levels of government.

So overall, besides the hypersonic missiles which is a "maybe", China is not leading the US, not as of right now.

How is this "IQ" calculated? What is it based on? Emotional intelligence? Because of it's based on emotional IQ, China's colour should be dark brown or grey, N/A.

People take tests. Academics compile them. Wokers howl and it becomes bad for one's career to cite them.

Lol it's not about China vs. the "West" it's about open societies vs. closed ones. Closed societies have structural limits (e.g. Japan) while open ones are more flexible (e.g. UK) and innovative.
