How much is America more advanced than China?
Overwhelmingly Huge.Let me elaborate with a few numbers.Just in. Apple Captured 79% of Global Smartphone Profits in 2016, while on the other side of the earth, young men and women are working their ass off on a 12–hour shift, 2.5$/hr. And local tech companies like Xiaomi admits it doesn’t make money on smartphone hardware sales. How much? Probably the distance between Xiaomi and Apple. [I admire Xiaomi by the way.]If we go by some cliche numbers:Number of Nobel laureates[1], the gap between the USA and China is 9.72 Japan as of 2016. Let’s make it 10 since quite a few of the laureates are not officially recognized. What’s shocking more, if we go by Nobel laureates per capita[2], the USA has over 170 times more than China.Okay okay that’s the past, what about now? Let us take a look the scientific papers by nature index[3]. The USA alone has ~3 times more article count than China. When reading these numbers, please bare in mind the total population of China (~4.3X more than that of USA), and the workforce in the research.GDP/capita? US is 7x higher than China; military expenditure, US is 3x more than China. Olympic game gold medals? all-time USA 1118 vs. China 236.The list could go on and on. All these hard numbers reflect the unmatchable soft-power in every aspect USA has. It is called the only superpower for a reason.Forget China.Footnotes[1] List of Nobel laureates by country - Wikipedia[2] List of countries by Nobel laureates per capita - Wikipedia[3] Country outputs | Nature Index

China is divided into 22 sheng (provinces), 5 zizhiqu (autonomous regions), and 4 shih (municipalities under direct control of the central government). It also has 2 special autonomous regions (Hong Kong and Macau) and claims sovereignty over a 23rd province (Taiwan).

So what will Westerners do. Will they stop using gas because it harms
