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.

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

At first China only offered low skill, low wage assembly line type
labor. But now they graduate more engineers than the US does each

This happened with Japan years ago.

the young middle class, mostly trained engineers.
