You can go through a simple two-stage exercise. But it comes down to how China can churn out tech and this is exactly why they are not allowing the Big Silicon Valley to do business there (and understandably so). To be honest, the tech baton will stay in the US until someone can put up a comparable education and research ecosystem. I don’t see that happening for at least another 50 years. China is at a crucial point in their economy and my bet is they will do whatever they can to generate growth in the WRONG (and easy) areas.

US in my eyes, evidently scores much, much, much less than China when it comes to public education. Both secondary and undergraduate tertiary level.

Only graduate school does well in US, just because high profile academicians tend to like working in high profile universities

Disagree. The best high schools and undergraduate programs are all in the US. No contest.
