@MichaelAArouet Wondering why South Korea spends so much on R&D? Korean companies and the government prefer reinvestment in R&D over dividends. Even small businesses often have their own corporate research labs.
@MichaelAArouet China’s R&D spending may rival America’s, but its focus is different: replacing European technologies and competing in industries where Europe has traditionally led.
@MichaelAArouet China’s R&D spending doesn’t tell the whole story. U.S. export restrictions limit China’s access to advanced GPUs and computing power. Even with money available, China cannot freely buy the computing resources needed for research.
@MichaelAArouet As you can see in the graph, China’s spending begins to decline in 2020. This coincides with the point when U.S. restrictions on China’s access to advanced technology began to take effect in earnest.

Koreas Sicherheit berührt Europas Sicherheit und umgekehrt. Deshalb rücken Deutschland und Südkorea zusammen.
