It looks like China has just reached parity with the west this decade, and now it's starting to visibly pull ahead. I think we'll see the pace of that accelerate over time as well given that the very act of catching up requires faster rate of development.
More with the current Trump wall surrounding all the US and scientifics leaving the states to MAGA (Make America a Golfstate Again), too stupid to understand that walls always work in both directions, even the economic ones.Now qith Canada, Mexico and also the EU making business with China. The eggs problem is only the beginning.
If you want your country to improve socially and economically you need a decent education system.
It is absolutely essential, but certain rulers are not interested in a population of cultured and educated, why their policy requires subjects obedient, ignorant and submissive who believes their lies. "In God we trust, to make America great again", something like this.
