OTHER THAN TRANSGENDER SURGERIES ON MINORS, DOES THE UNITED STATES LEAD THE WORLD IN ANYTHING THESE DAYS? American Universities Continue to Falter in World Rankings as China Rises

 

The U.S.’s pre-eminence among the world’s top research universities continues to diminish, according to a new global ranking, while Chinese universities are on the rise, producing a greater quantity and higher quality of research than ever before. . . .

 

“The data is very clear: America can no longer take for granted its decadeslong dominance of world higher education and research, and it is China that is leading the challenge,” said Phil Baty, the rankings editor. “If current trends remained the same, we would see China overtaking the U.S. in the coming years.”
