  • Oh so you think it will get better? 😋
    I’m pretty sure China doesn’t have the amount of misinformation Americans are exposed to.
    Chinese misinformation is much more focused, and not all over the place, not even Chinese propaganda or people likens Xi to a God reborn, as Christians do with Trump.
    The misinformation is more like North Korea. With the difference that in USA the real information is also available. Which is why only about half the US population fall for it, where in North Korea it’s probably 80-90%

    The American media have failed completely, normalizing Trump and normalizing crazy like denial of scientific facts and normalizing malignant narcissism.


  • global science trends over the past decade. China’s research output in the journals tracked by the Nature Index continues to grow strongly, demonstrated by Beijing extending its lead at the summit of the science cities ranking to almost double the Share of the second-placed city. The fact that this second place is now taken by Shanghai, pushing New York into third

    So they claim to track actual output themselves, but it’s still a very big question whether that is accurate?
    I have heard that Chinese research is riddled with fake research papers estimated at about half of it being copied from works of others.
    The same is allegedly true for getting into higher education in China, the competition is so steep that people cheat to get in.
