      If Joe Biden doesn’t think that China is competing with the US he must not be paying attention to AI.

      The US is governed by lawyers. China is governed by engineers. This explains a lot.

      By “engineers” do you mean a particular kind of practicality and pragmatism in the psychology of China’s political leaders?

      I mean many of the top leaders were literally trained as engineers; Xi Jinping in chemical engineering, for example.

          Oh yeah, I guess I was curious whether a "pragmatic" personality type may be what attracts certain people to engineering, and perhaps that same psychology leads them to govern more "rationally" when they hold political power?

          That and being accountable to no one makes for a rather efficient political system.

          There are 4 members out of 25 of the Politiburo who have engineering degrees.

          16%. I wonder how many Members of Congress have engineering backgrounds or education.

          Xi is the President not because he studied engineer, it is because he is the Red Generation, because he won the DNA lottery.

          I think his point is communists are not lawyers, and being reliant on interest groups rather than voters rewards a different kind of politician.

          ‘Trained as engineer’ does not make one an engineer. Top level communist must have started his pol/activist career in high school. The engineer degree is just a cover.
