Japan is notably successful in science Nobel Prizes. China and New Zealand rate similarly. UK has heaps because swarms of people from around the world go there to do great things. Same for USA but on a grander scale. Thanks for the list. Google is very knowledgeable. China has got a very long way to go. It's not that the Nobel Prize committee only likes white Anglo types though TJ figures that's the reason. It's tough to win Nobel science prizes with head down and bum up in a rice paddy or while sewing toy bears from dawn to dusk in a big low-paid factory in outback China. Wasting good iron by turning children into nails and hammering them on the head to force them to believe in Mao is great for forming Stockholm Syndrome, and Nobel Prizes come from that place, [Stockholm], but there's a difference. Maybe China's bosses made a linguistic mistake and thought Stockholm Syndrome is how to get Nobels. A nation of Stockholm Syndrome victims won't do much. Pretty cool <From 1946, Yang studied at The University of Chicago with Edward Teller (1908–2003), where he received his doctorate in 1948 and remained for a year as assistant to Enrico Fermi. In 1949 he moved to the Institute for Advanced Study where he began a period of fruitful collaboration with Tsung-Dao Lee. In 1966 he moved to the State University of New York at Stony Brook and became the Albert Einstein Professor of Physics and the first director of a newly founded Institute for Theoretical Physics which is now known as C. N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics. He retired from Stony Brook in 1999 as Emeritus Professor. > Imagine how much talent has been wasted over half a century. Not just in China of course, but in many countries. But China made a special effort to make things bad. Mqurice
