I used to think we needed socialism everywhere to ensure all scientists of the world can be supported in pursuing every advancement possible. It's clear that China has already made that reality possible now to an astounding degree without needing many other co-socialist nations to make it happen. By being the biggest funders of science in the world, the brain drain is automatic. for many in STEM to be doing research at all, they have to go to China because there is little funding elsewhere.
IMO it isnt even the funding, its the manufacturing infrastructure that makes any of it possible at any real scale.
yes that's an important part, once the research is complete you need to be able to scale up production which is also something only China can do, even more so than the research.
