China - Criticism of industry and covid statistics

Gary Young to John Shanahan
I think the ratings of China versus US industry are overly biased in favor of China. Researchers are failing to ask the all-important question, “but is it true?” The most egregious is Covid deaths. China cremates the dead. During Covid, their crematoriums had to staff three shifts. Further it looks like they also tripled their mobile crematoriums. China flat lied about Covid deaths as they lie about any and everything that may make them look bad in their view.
Do you remember The Bell Curve, a book published a couple decades ago? The Subject was the normal distribution of IQ’s in the population. Of course it was very politically incorrect because the authors made a case that the Negro normal distribution was 8 points lower. Lost in all the hysterics was their finding that Orientals (mostly Chinese) were 12 points higher. I am not sure these are the correct numbers but I am pretty sure they are close to the correct ratios. The US normal distribution has a little over 16% of the population with an IQ over 115. China could have more people with an IQ over 120 than the US has people!
The US each recent year graduates less than ¾ million with STEM degrees. China over 4.6 million. China defines STEM a little differently than we do but they likely graduate over 4 million the way we define STEM. They should be kicking our butt in virtually all STEM fields but they aren’t because of the serious cultural, character and political flaws they have.
John Shanahan to Gary Young
Are Chinese statistics lying? Experts say statistics don’t lie.
No country, government or people is perfect. “With all their STEM students China should be kicking America’s butt. The Chinese aren’t because of the serious cultural, character and political flaws they have.”
America’s government has been dysfunctional for decades. Our mass media is as questionable as any since political cartoons of the 1800s. Take American alarmism about man-made global warming. CO2 has 0.04% concentration in the atmosphere. They claim that this tiny concentration of CO2 causes catastrophic global warming. When that label didn’t SELL, they changed their song to a vaguer label, “Catastrophic Climate Change”. The American government, mass media and universities have all abandoned the good qualities they are supposed to have.
In the Korean Conflict in the 1950s the Chinese Army swarmed the American Marines and Army with many more soldiers poorly dressed for terrible winter conditions, poorly armed. They beat drums to get their soldiers to attack and overwhelm the Americans. The Americans fought bravely, with better weapons and prevailed - taking heavy losses.
In the 2020s, the Chinese military is better equipped. They no longer beat drums to get poorly armed and trained soldiers to swarm their enemies. They use drones, ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, advanced electronics, etc. The Chinese have the best shipbuilding program in the world. The few ships the Americans build are fraught with embarrassing technical problems. We depend on China for critical minerals and components FOR OUR MILITARY!!
Who is telling their people more lies is a question for a Truth Commission.
Who is likely to prevail for the next thousand years? The Truth is Known.
