Stupid when China have the bulk of high-level Scientists and Engineers in the world, AND writes more scientific papers. It seems that US have drunk their own propaganda, and actually believes that China is 'stealing' tech from US. How exceptionalist and narcissistic can a Nation get ?

No matter.. The faster the West/US kills it-self, the happier we can all be, so please go ahead and isolate your self even more..

We just keep digging ourselves into a deeper hole, like childhood friends who aren't getting along nor talking to each other over some petty shit.

Well, if the anti-intellectualism continues, there's not going to be much incentive to collaborate with what's left of the US anyhow.

Then who’s going to do the research now that it’s all been defunded and American scientists a jumping ship just to stay employed…
