I read that the Peoples Republic of China now lays claim to the world's
fastest supercomputer. I don't know if any of the scientists involved in
that project were trained in the United States, but it would not
surprise me to learn some were.

I think the sun is setting on the United States for many reasons.

People have said that before. I think that it's actually a good thing
that we give back talent to the world. What goes around, comes around,
and we have a lot to give, and we deserve to get back a lot. Not a lot
of people are that interested in moving to China.

Actually I saw a Chinese lady on Charley Rose a few weeks ago
explaining why she and a lot of other Chinese students chose to go
back home when they graduate from an American school ... growth and
opportunity. They are growing exponentially and the US is not. We
scoff at a business where you may only be making a few cents a unit
but when your customer base is a billion, that is a lot of pennies.

As long as you don't mind being oppressed and censored, not to mention
practically no environmental regulations, sure lot's of "opportunity."
