While we’re on the subject of school daze, our friend John Mauldin of Mauldineconomics.com wonders whether the news of China’s Deepseek AI breakthroughs means America may be facing another “Sputnik Moment.”

America has completely dominated the global tech sector for fifty years, but U.S. tech leadership now may be hard to maintain in the years ahead. This chart showing that China graduates more than five times as many iSTEM students each year is certainly worrisome.

The silver lining is that if OUR kids aren’t learning math and science skills, we can always hand out visas to the brainiacs of the world who are, and make them Americans. Or maybe we can trade our sociologists for their math wizzes.

From their universities? China and India are notorious for their diploma mills. Also they both have 5x the population of the US.

The smart ones come here to get educated in our universities. That’s the only real problem. We shouldn’t be educating our enemies.

China does have four times the population of the US.

We have far more angry trannies and screeching purple-haired liberal harpies than China. The ChiComs should quake in fear in their tiny little boots!
