(RAD: Listen carefully for hints about what the USA would need to do to compete with China in the future. Not only has China gone through a massive transformation where they are now the manufacturing powerhouse of the world, we need to pay close attention to how they did it. No, it wasn't by any dictatorial methods, since that doesn't motivate people. Not only have they implemented 5-year plans, they do this for 15 years into the future. Their 5-year plans include all of the steps necessary to achieve those objectives. It isn't left up to chance. They now have the best scientific universities in the world that give students the best knowledge needed to implement breakthroughs that power their advanced manufacturing. Unlike in the past, if a student gets an advanced degree from MIT, they might not be offered a job when coming back to China. Studying in China is now a much better option. — RAD)
