China shows science is not dependent on liberal democracy

Everything has two sides, pros and cons, check and balance may postpone many projects or program for decades, humans have another nature that is rarely agree with each other, if a company doesn't have a clear decision maker, this company goes nowhere.

Agree 100%.

There are pros and cons to every system. Since we can't predict the future, and knowing human nature, the safer approach is democracy with checks and balances. Maybe some country gets lucky, like China and Singapore, but the probability is that a country with authoritarian regime will end up like most of Africa, South America or the Middle East.

Lmao gulf countries are authoritarian and they are rich AF.Dont forget Vietnam ( growing fast) . China has a more meritocracy system. There's no such thing as lucky only strong and good leadership will propel you to become rich and powerful. India is a nut case running by a right wing Hindu pretending to be a democracy. There's nothing democratic about India when adani is running the whole country.

African countries are based on democratic elections and guess how that turns out for em. Most of Europe was helped rebuilt during the Marshall plan. There's nothing exceptional about democracy. Europe was built on the backs on its colonies.

South Korea is a perfect example of strong protectionism, heavily state-subsidised long-term industrial development, and a financial policy independent of World Bank, IMF etc.Alot of successful Asian countries follow quite the same path to development.land reform is very important but not so much has been done in India because of its caste system.policies matter more than anything. Smart governance is key to a country success

Russia WAS in the Soviet days. It is basically achieving nothing now since much of the educated population has fled over the last 30 years.

Brain Drain Is Sapping Russia of Its Talent

As highly skilled Russians emigrate, the future of innovation and private business in the country has been called into question.

You're obviously confusing Russia of 30 years ago and Russia of today, probably because of bias or denial. Russia of today seems to be in it best shape and US of today seems to be in its worst shape.

I think you are the one in denial.

Please name some items people around the world use that came from the Russians in the last 20 years. They are just existing with a mediocre GDP with not much breakthroughs that benefit mankind to show. This from a country that once was a leader in science and tech.

We are waiting....and waiting...and waiting

Either list them or admit you are the one in denial...

If you can't do either...we will take that as your head hanging in silent shame.
