Of the five projects covered by the article I found these three to be of particular interest (to me). - The biggest radio telescope - Race to the deep - Open space The ancient science giant is waking up again.

China's government has always had an amazing capacity for getting things done. The Great Wall took centuries and it's still there. Civil engineering has always been amazing. I think of those terraced farmlands and the Three Gorges Dam. It isn't the politics because the Chinese have been this way from pre-feudal times right through the Communist Party era. Chinese people are smart, they work hard and they take a long view. Here in America, we seem to be falling apart. Not just our roads, bridges, airports and water systems but our social fabric as well. We really haven't had a spirit of gung ho (in the original Chinese sense of "work together") since the days of community barn raisings. Nobody plans ahead any more. Everything is about a quick buck for me, me, me! Looking at the long-term trends, the future of US-China global competition doesn't seem very bright for America's kids. |

Hopefully the Chinese will make great progress in air pollution, vaccines, and auto safety before they all die...........

Ever the positive one eh Mr Stout? But yes, they do indeed need to work on those issues and I think they are. In fact, last time I checked, they even seem to be not quite all dead yet .... Stef China's population

Smart move. The future will belong to those with technological reach. The US needs to refocus. |

We already have that in the Bay Area. It's called BART. Runs in the middle of the freeway. It's nothing new or innovative. If you increase the size of the BART train, same concept.

FYI, I read Guardian UK not Guardian US. :P Even so, I see that Guardian US has acknowledged openly what one of its journalists did wrong. That's transparency and professionalism. I hope RT will learn from Guardian US .... but I doubt it.

Lol, Stef, the Western press lies professionally and confesses in it only if cought, and does it maybe in 1% of such cases, if lie is not deliberate and intentional ![]() https://youtu.be/NVNblG9PJMk + https://www.rt.com/news/eyes-wide-open-media/ I hope RT will not learn how to shamelessly lie from Western media. Though, you, Western public are zombied from childhood, one does not to be a professional lier to keep you that way. ![]() Edited by Siberian, May 30 2016, 04:16 PM.

Really, Siberian .... get a grip and give that vodka a rest. In case you did not notice we're going way OFF TOPIC. If you like you can start another thread to debate which press is 100% "honest" and unbiased till the cows come home. Good luck with that one, but you know what? It would be truly, truly ![]() ![]() because the topic is 100% predictable. Stef
