Disappointed Yank here.  So, people, now we know what happens when you 
slash research funding, denigrate science, and let loose a cultural 
wave of anti-science sentiment that devalues knowledge and those who 
would pursue it.  Kudos to the Chinese for going after science and 
innovation – glad someone is doing it now that this new generation of 
Americans has decided they can't be bothered to make an effort in any 
science any less lucrative than predictive marketing, search engine 
optimisation, and "social media."

Back in the 50s and 60s the USA led the world in science and 
innovation.  Those days are over.  Doesn't have to be that way.  
Imagine everything the post WWII generation fought to build.  The next 
generation and the one after that have decided to piss it all away.
