Chinese engineering technology

Is there any hint that if empowered China will relax the regulation regarding human gentic engineering and cloning etc. What products and services might we soon (in e.g. 50 years) see on the market?
China does not do any of that stuff. They are a third world nation when it comes to education. They just prepare their students to go over seas to get an education. My wife worked for 9 years in Hong Kong as a Domestic to help two students to be ready to go over seas to get their degree so they could get a job. The boy now is working at the Hong Kong International Airport and can fly free anywhere in the world with his work benifits. I forget what the girl is doing. Fashion maybe. The Chinese understand you have to put a lot of hard work into getting a good job. Something that a lot of American High School students do not seem to grasp the concept of. Bejing and Shanghi have a few good schools now, but mostly they are specialized. Our local university has an exchange program worked out with Beijing University so students can go back and forth to take some of the more basic classes.

Maybe what they might call a master race of blond, blue-eyed people?

You sound a little eager for that happen, AV.
The United States of America went to war with scientists in WW2, and we went over there and saved Europe from becoming goose-steppers; as well as liberated the Jews from Germany's laboratories.

The next world-war is going to be quite different, ending in God putting an end to science, as we are familiar with it today.

You make is sound as if a) the US single-handedly won WWII from the Germans, and b) the Third Reich was (and is) populated and supported by run-of-the-mill scientists.

Uhuh. And how will you know when that's happened? By observing it? Oops, can't do that, that's science.

Ahem.

Emphasis mine. Your words are vague enough to encompass the truth, but are worded to imply a falsehood. I was pointing out the latter. "Evolution is just a theory" is, technically, true, but the implication is clear.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm under the assumption that Hitler's entire staff had I.Q.s in the genius range.

I have no idea where you got that idea from, and I highly doubt it, but so what if it's true?

None of them were scientists?

Did we go over there to capture men with guns, or to capture men with clipboards?

Both, which is the point.
Okay, I say 'scientists', you say 'soldiers' -- big deal.

I'm giving soldiers some credit for being scientists; are you giving scientists some credit for being soldiers?

No, I say both, as in, there were scientists and soldiers and politicians and priests.

No. Some of the Nazis were scientists, some were soldiers, some were both, some were neither. Your original post implied that the Nazis were made up entirely of scientists.

Nice try, but "soldiers" doesn't answer the OP as effectively as "scientists".

Neither answer the OP effectively. That's why I keep saying both. The Nazis weren't wholly scientists, nor wholly soldiers. It's disingenuous to imply either.

If you're going to accuse me of being disingenuous, then I have to ask: You were there?

Wouldn't it have been much more efficient (i.e. millions of lives spared) if the US simply prohibited Rockefeller from selling oil to the Nazi war machine, assuming we were really interested in saving Europe from becoming "goose-steppers?"
