What happened to 'China 2025' ?

f you go to the Sahara in Africa and then compare it to New York City, the argument about prosperity and what was achieved becomes obvious.

Most of the world has already been “conditioned” by outcomes.

The real problem is when the discrepancy is ambiguous—that ambiguity distorts people’s thinking and creates room for false narratives.

For example, it’s often repeated that China has the highest IQ per capita. If that were truly the case, then the burden of proof shifts: they wouldn’t need to remain the world’s manufacturer.

They should be producing the world’s most original breakthroughs, exporting high-value innovation, and pushing the frontier—while moving low-value manufacturing elsewhere.

If the human capital is that strong, and the economy is that large, then the expectation is sovereignty from dependency: not permanent integration as the factory floor of the Western capitalist system, but genuine ascent through invention and leadership.
