carpltunl's Journal: China graduating fewer engineers than thought...

A Duke University study disputes the statistic that China is graduating 600,000 Engineers a year. It also concluded that the US is actually graduating twice as many per year as previously thought (150,000 up from 70,000). The original 600,000 number seems to have come directly from the Chinese government and was parroted to the US Congress by a group of Nobel Prize winners. I don't know if the point of this is that we shouldn't trust governments or the people who make their living on government funding. Without government funding we wouldn't have a lot of things that we have right now. But really, to stoop so low.
