The USA can't stop the world from doing science. We can only stop ourselves from doing science.

We're making a conscious choice to make China the world's leading research nation.

Congratulations to China on their ascendancy I guess.

The line chart shows gross domestic expenditures on research and development (R&D) for various countries from 2000 to 2020. Here are some key observations: * The United States leads in R&D spending: It has consistently been the highest spender throughout the period, with a significant increase in spending over time. * China's R&D spending has grown rapidly: China started with much lower spending in 2000 but has experienced the most dramatic growth, nearly catching up to the US by 2020. * Other countries show more moderate growth: Japan, Germany, South Korea, and the United Kingdom have also increased their R&D spending, but at a slower pace compared to the US and China. * Spending is adjusted for purchasing power parity: This means the figures are adjusted to account for differences in the cost of goods and services across countries, allowing for a fairer comparison of actual R&D investment. The chart highlights the growing importance of R&D for economic competitiveness, with the US and China emerging as the dominant investors in this area.

@mekkaokereke i know i shouldn't think logically about the administration's actions -- because they're not. but i can't for the life of me figure out how they square thinking the US will be the world leader by withdrawing from the world. no seat at the table --> reduced influence --> usa 📉
