The Great Chinese Experiment

China is betting its economic health on becoming a world leader in the sciences. But will it succeed? This is a very good article on the strategic program in China to move it to the very top rung of the world's research science establishment. Consider just how much effort is going on in China right now to move them forward in the 21st century. Contrast that with what is happening at our own universities and research programs. The future will not belong to us.
