China to surpass USA in scientific research

Listen, i hate the american governments, and am fully justified to do so. I like Obama though.

However, you know my reasons, from the blowing up of hiroshima murdering over 200,000 ATLEAST if not considerably more with nuclear bombs, to the illegal invasion of IRAQ, and putting saddam in power...

China may or may not be a good thing, but america's history goes against them.

You need China to neutralise America, and vice versa. One country should not think it's all that / powerfull, it should be wary if he violates human rights ect, it will be dealt with lol.

The world is currently unstable.

You're speaking on pure speculation that China would attack it's neighbours, wheter it is true or not, you show irrational love for american crimes, denying everything.

i know how to see if someone genuinly believes something, or will argue for lies.

i do not hate american people, i have no right to

i hate their governments, and history is on my side.

between 150 -270k people, check google, not american times:P

ok secondly, pearl harbour may not have been a hoax, but , i know well that the attacks, if there were any, WERE MERE exuses to go murder people/destablise a 'threat' country...

don't take anything to face value...i have quotes of american officials in charge saying things you may not want to know

Might want to read up on the Great Leap Forward, the situation with Taiwan and the Uighur people of Xinjiang. Irrational and denial... two things you of all people shouldn't speak about.

Actually I am going by wiki. Different sources will have different numbers because its almost impossible to get accurate numbers for these things. Look at the Holocaust numbers range from 2million to 13.

No they were not. Japan launched the attacks because they knew America would challenge their dominance in the Pacific. The attacks were meant to take out the carriers so America would not be able to fight the Japanese navy.

So show these quotes.

I don't understand how you can measure scientific output.

So, nearly every country has a dirty history behind, what about the time when europe colonized large parts of Africa and started the slave trade, or when the British empire invaded China because they didn't want to buy Opium. The communist party of China would not have been created if it wasn't for foreign invasion. Full stop.

You don't attack my arguments, you attack me instead.

If i can help you with something, if i have wronged you, please tell me in what way?

My arguments are swung to condeming opressers, and defending basic human rights, wheter or not i am insulted.

I "attacked" your argument with the first part of my reply. It's strange how you claim to be a defender of human rights but you're more than willing to overlook horrific abuses so as long as the party in question "opposes" America and co.

whereas last year it was going to take them 10 years to catch up with the USA.

no doubt next year they'll look again and find it actually happened last week... and there's nothing wrong with that

I for one salute our new benevolent imperial overlords

This is highly significative.

Today, most scientific papers are written in...English. It allow researcher from differents countries to access and assess the research done worldwide. It means also that funds (from which depend the research) are more likely to be allocated to a researchers that publish in this language (they are more likely to be cited and thus to gain in respectability). This also mean that ideas, philosophies, etc.. that are more likely to gain acceptance are the one propagated by the west. On the other hand, if the Chinese take over, in one or two generation, most papers written by non-Chinese researchers are going to be written/translated in Chinese. The balance of power is going to shift to the East.

The second thing interesting is that the idea that only Democracies could create the conditions for a successful economy and a successful creative atmosphere is looking increasingly refuted.

If anything I would say a democracy could hinder an economy far more as long as the dictatorship is not oppressive (overly so). Anyway over the next 10 to 30 years we will have to see some democratic reform in China other wise we may well see mass civil unrest.
