Chinese engineers in power

Retarded take. Can't tell if bait.
Most Chinese would openly cheat at my Uni. Just carrying out full conversations in Mandarin during exams.
>What does this mean/imply
Engineering is probably a useful skill in general especially in a command economy, but unless he read a lot of political philosophy on his own it probably isn't enough. Good leadership involves studying character flaws and ethics which engineering disciplines wouldn't cover. That being said, in the case of Xi Jinping it means very little, because I believe he's read a fair bit of political philosophy on his own and isn't relying solely on his chemical engineering degree.

They enjoy high tech infrastructure but suck at propaganda

user, chemical engineering is heat transfer, mass transfer, processes etc. It is not chemistry in strict sense

ok chang

Tbh it's not sustainable infrastructure. They just prefer profit over morals, and that's how they got rich.

People that love and understand chemistry are, at our core, naturalists and libertarian-minded, even when we begrudgingly take orders from the boss. But we cannot as a rule govern people. It's just not in our character.
For better or worse.

I don't believe for a second that Xi has done anything beyond associate's level chem. Most educated Chinese seem to have at least that level of chemistry skill so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt there.
I myself have NO degrees, but I have more lab work under my belt than most master's degree holders. far less paper writing and far more actual smells and pops and burns and fizzes.
