College education is dirty cheap in China compared to the US (income adjusted).

this doesn't support "China simply invested more in their people than USA it seems.".

I'm not replying to that. I'm replying to your comment.

And you now changed it to "College education are not compulsory and free in both countries" which is even more wrong..

>I'm not replying to that. I'm replying to your comment

thank for clarify

>And you now changed it to "College education are not compulsory and free in both countries"

i never change my statement to OP and what's wrong? both countries doesn't offer free College education. one is cheaper doesn't mean its free.

Ok, so you mean "College education are not compulsory or free".

One culture values a broad band of technical education...one values social education. One advances technically and one wrestles with social issues.

that's culture differences. it doesn't support or shown China invest more in its people.

I'll argue, you don't need a lot of techies. you need people with vision like Steve Jobs, Jack Ma...etc. they don't have tech background and yet created giant tech company.

You need both, and you need a lot more "techies" than visionaries. Otherwise those visionaries just sit around at home with no one competent enough to execute on their vision.

> if we are talking about education. both country offer free education to its people. College education are not compulsory and free in both countries

Education in China is also only compulsory through the 8th grade. Only 60% go on to high school.
