The Greatest IQ Concentration In The World

This article on the growing intellectual and technological pool of talent in China is another eye-opening look into what I believe is the largest threat to our national security in the long term. Al Qeada can blow up buildings, but they are unlikely to supplant us economically. India and China are quickly catching us in the pool of highly qualified engineers and scientists. The next decade I'm sure that US businesses will capitalize on the talent available, but in the long run I would assume that these countries will become very entrepreneurial and agile when it comes to ensuring their own interests.
