Why China Produces 10x MORE Engineers Than America (The STEM Gap)

Описание: China produces 4.7 million STEM graduates every year. America produces 568,000. This isn't just a gap—it's a structural disadvantage that could define the next century of global power.

In this video, I break down the three systems behind China's engineering dominance:

→ The Selection Funnel: How the Gaokao system identifies top talent from 12.9 million students
→ The Industrial Feedback Loop: Why Chinese engineers compound their skills on factory floors
→ The National Purpose Engine: The motivation factor that makes engineers work on hard problems

This isn't about population size. It's not about cultural stereotypes. It's about understanding how interconnected systems create compounding advantages that are nearly impossible to replicate.

I've visited factories in Shenzhen, talked to professors in Beijing, and interviewed executives who've seen both systems from the inside. The numbers tell a story that most mainstream analysis completely misses.

Whether you're interested in US-China relations, the future of technology, or simply want to understand where the world is heading—this is the analysis you need to see.
