Mein Gott, Godfree, the sophistication of these syllabi is astonishing. Unless and until Western educational institutions learn to think and plan for the long-term, they haven’t a hope in hell of ever ‘containing’ China. In fact, the obverse will be true.

The Chinese will have the Empire and its vassals vacuum packed, tied with a bow and loaded into containers. Indeed, with 5 million already trained, or soon to be, one can say the race to develop fusion power and quantum computing will be won by China

And then will come the end of block chain and digital currencies, with all that implies.
