Chinese science revolution: They are supersizing science.

The Chinese are on a frantic roll in science. They seem to be attempting to make up for lost time with huge ambitious projects.

It looks like modern China's "Great Leap Forward" in Science.

In diverse fields such as space, ocean exploration and medicine the Chinese are on the march.

Here the BBC link informs us with the help of some glorious pictures.

That's incredible. When I was traveling to China on business I got to see some of the massive infrastructure projects they were working on. Buildings so grand they boggled the mind..highway infrastructure that should be the envy of the world.

They are a people on a mission with the discipline to do it.

The money is found for this, i think, by keeping a big mass of low-wage workers. The process of piling up wealth at the top is not impaired--China has more billionaires than the US: http://www.cnbc.com/2016/02/24/china...us-report.html

Because of its huge population that mass of low wage workers is readily available and will be for some time.

The striking part is that its middle class is expanding.
