Simple.
1. US students are not interested in solving hard problems, so they donβt go to grad school.
2. The US military needs hard problems solved, so they pour money into universities to solve them.
3. Chinese students take those positions, and are paid to learn from the best in the world and work on the most important problems.
4. Upon graduation, we KICK ALL OF THEM OUT back to their home country, after paying between $250k-$500k to train them.
5. Those students go on to innovate for their home country.
In engineering, 60-90% of graduate students working on a thesis are non-citizens, paid for by US grants.
China is able to out-compete domestic innovators because we are training them to be superior and then forcing them to compete with us.
Itβs not a mystery, and yes it is insane.

@cmuratori i think he tried really hard to help them debug their software platform and they wouldnt even talk to him. i'd be pretty annoyed too (maybe not this annoyed)
