On: Why China won’t own next-generation manufacturing

[seanmcdirmid]

Many Nobel prize winners have been Chinese, only one was a citizen of the PRC when they did the work/received the award. China's problem isn't it's people, but it's crazily dysfunctional government that wastes it's tremendous human capital.

Is that statement supposed to inform me about the shortcomings of the PRC, or those of the Nobel prize? I can't tell.

It is supposed to inform you of the achievement of the Chinese people, and not to conflate them with the Chinese government.
