Today we can save extremely premature babies at 21 weeks. So we already have partial "artificial wombs," better known as neonatal intensive care units (NICU), that can cover half of the pregnancy.

A real-life artificial womb would probably be like an NICU today. It might be horrendously complex, requiring 24/7 monitoring by a team of doctors. The failure rate would be very high, just as many extremely premature babies don't survive in the hospital.

I don't really see it as something feasible for the average person. Let's say it would cost millions per attempt and have a ~75% failure rate. Maybe the wealthy infertile, or people like Elon Musk, would use the technology.

Still a lot of work needs to be put in to stop the bleeding of top talent.

There's a lot of talent at the highest level that China still loses to US, largely because of better pay, working conditions in US.

For better pay, we can compete but for easy working conditions and relaxed lifestyle, we cannot. China is just too full of smart and competitive people while America is too full of frat bros who majored in communications while drunk the whole time. Chinese kids growing up in the US don't even have to study to end up in the 80-90th percentile while they'd be bum level in China. A shark will always have an easier time living in a bay full of turtles than a sea full of other sharks.

Watch Comrade Jianguo do a solid by mass arresting ethnic Chinese data scientists for espionage.

It’s normal. As I said before China is still largely overall a developing country, though the most advanced one at that . So its overall development level hasn’t yet reached developed country standards overall . So it’s normal the US will still be very attractive for global talents (not just Chinese ) far more than China or any other country for that matter . That’s probably the biggest advantage of the US. Anybody knows they can move there , get a decent paying job and become what they want as long as they have a vision and discipline to work towards that, plus work life balance isn’t as crazy as in China and east Asia( probably birth rates in your side of the world is by far the lowest globally). The US does have a lot advantages . Never underestimate the ability of the US to reinvent herself . I think many people around the world who don’t like the US tend to to project their feelings into reality and make themselves believe the US end is here. lol. Funny enough those who also don’t like China also do the same thing towards China . lol. Both are wrong, both countries have phenomenal advantages and will keep growing and being dominant for a long time to come .

The most wealthy and successful community in the US are not Chinese . Using your logic Indians are more resourceful than Chinese then . lol
I think people like to generalize a lot and give simple solutions to more complex issues . The way you frame it so simplistically, China should be the world’s leader in every single sector today.
