A comment on Why China won’t own next-generation manufacturing.

The article is by Vivek Wadhwa [1]. One quote, which doesn't quite make sense to me:

"Even though China is graduating far more than 1 million engineers every year, the quality of their education is so poor that they are not employable in technical professions."

Not even one of them is employable?

The author is clearly knowledgeable, so I wonder if this is an editing error.

The only accurate prediction he's ever made is that Groupon would collapse

It would be reasonable to say a small percentage is employable or are globally competitive. Many tier 3 schools have CS programs that are completely bogus.

That statement is clearly not true.

And what is worse is it is apparently from one of his own studies!
