Wait. You mean a country that takes education seriously and doesn’t kowtow to religious nonsense is better at science than a country where “evolution is just a theory” appears in high school textbooks?

Who could have guessed?

(Before you jump on me, this is not an endorsement of the Chinese government, or even their education system; it’s just an acknowledgement of one aspect of the two nations education systems).

Interesting on the domestic increase in citations being a factor there. I wonder what lead to that.
