Chips continue to be produced, as do aircraft... =)
Another stupid propaganda from the Russian Federation and Putin stupid bot. It's funny to tears, but after all, for some poorly educated people, mainly in the Russian Federation, and some in the West. Including a diaspora of former Russians with a secondary education (most often) who speak out in defense of Putin.
Let me remind you that in the USA there were 31-32% of people with higher education in 2021. In Russia, about the same, according to the statements of the authorities for 2021, and at the same time, they assure that in the USSR there were only 11% of people with higher education, although many educated people understand that education (in the USSR) in the natural sciences (but not from the point of view of a full-fledged outlook) and modern education are incomparable, in favor of the old education, as well as the breadth of this qualitative layer then and now.
In China, 15.5-17% of the population as of 2021 had a higher education (and about the same number of people had completed secondary education, apparently college level), i.e. not much more than in the USSR (including secondary vocational education), according to official figures. Which does not prevent China from being ahead of the Russian Federation at times in terms of the speed of development, despite the old potential left over from the USSR, which once still influenced the industrial development of the Russian Federation. But thanks to the complete real degradation of education in the Russian Federation (a lot of fake and bought diplomas or disgusting "higher" education in private universities for money and a lot of fake candidates of science and doctors, scandals with the purchase of diplomas of candidates and doctors of science have long become a byword and a very strong bias towards the humanities, economics and jurisprudence, which is obvious in the gas station country, where many are already engaged in trade), where the public point of view prevails in the Russian Federation that if you paid, you are required to give a certificate of higher education, although this is not unrelated things, but such is the mentality of the crowd).
At the same time, according to international youth education statistics, young Chinese (and South Koreans) have the highest scores in mathematics and science, where even young people from the United States are far from first place in the second ten. And the Russian Federation, in terms of the level of education, according to the same statistics, has already fallen by 2020 below the average for the planet. So where can a wide layer of human capital come from in order not only to catch up with the Western countries (with all their progressive shortcomings), but also to get ahead? Even China cannot do this. Because the highest category of brains requires a certain socio-economic ecosystem, completely incompatible with the totalitarian system.
China now, after the start of the third fully authoritarian rule of Xi, has gone downhill, and the Russian Federation shows what can be achieved in the end, completely losing human capital over a century, and even deliberately finishing off the remnants like cannon fodder. It's like shooting sparrows with a howitzer. But Putin and his clique don't care. As is Xi. If only to maintain power and a comfortable existence for their lifetime ...
Some time ago, an analysis was made of the quality of pending patents in China and in the West, and it turned out that most of the patents in China are of poor quality. Which does not prevent propagandists from totalitarian countries from yelling at every corner that China has surpassed the United States in the number of patents. But educated people understand that a one patent is different from a another patent, right? Investments in basic capital since 2015 in China have been continuously falling, and the problems in society are only growing. Population aging, poor productivity (for example, in the Russian Federation, agricultural productivity is more than 4 times worse than in the United States, and in China it is even lower than in Russia, while China is a clean net-importer of food on planet) , demographic problems, huge debts and a totalitarian system, this is an explosive mixture that is gradually leading the CCP elite to the same desire as in Russia to start channeling the mob's anger over the worsening living standards (and it has already begun in China) to the outside "enemy", i.e. again leads to military escalation. And soon China will need to steal advanced chips and other equipment somewhere so that the powerful layers can survive...
