Sadly I heard recently that the US is 27th in Math and 25th in Science. I
challenge the old DXers too name 25 countries smarter then we are. I cannot.
I guess that means we are not much better at geography.

Be cautious when straying off the tourist track over there. The Silk Market in

At first China only offered low skill, low wage assembly line type
labor. But now they graduate more engineers than the US does each
year. We (in the US) are on the wrong end of an "education gap".
This happened with Japan years ago.
Look at ham radio in China. Here is it for the most part old men who
remember the days of vacuum tubes and CW. In China it is a hobby for
the young middle class, mostly trained engineers.
