China leads the world in production of engineering graduates.

Chopsticks aren't any worse than knife and fork.

They are in fact better at achieving the cultural imperative - not to stuff your face with spoonfuls of shit and become obese.

If by engineers you mean copy-pasta fags, yes, that's true.

Engineering in china: Repetitive work defined by western country industry that the given western world company is too lazy to bother to do themselves.

Chinese engineers have to solve to problem how to copy something and produce it as cheaply as possible.

>> No.3049351

What China considers to be an engineer has nothing to do with the standards in the West concerning education.

A Chinese "engineering" degree can be obtained at 2-year technical institutes.

Don't believe the hype.

>>3049351

Depends. I'm a tutor at my university and had a chinese student who could barely speak my language in my group.

He was an "energy engineering" student and needed to do a year at a foreign university. He was pretty good at learning new stuff, he used a mathematical book for learning Lagrange-/Hamilton-formalism and got it pretty well.

I don't doubt it. There are definitely good engineering programs and students in China. But too often, China fans have been touting numbers that have no real basis for comparison. When the Chinese government calculates the number of engineering students, they also include those enrolled at 2 year technical colleges.

The real reason China will over take the west is because of the difference in leadership.

The political leaders of China are former Engineers. They understand the importance of having a large manufacturing base and being able to control access to things like rare earths.

In the west the leaders are finance banksters who sell off the infrastructure and outsource manufacturing to make a bigger profit.

This post made me sad, but also happy at the same time. I guess this is the reason why China are the only country putting actual resources into thorium?
