From today’s NYT article on Chinese trade policies:

“For example, engineers with freshly issued bachelor’s degrees can be found here in Hunan Province for a salary of only about $2,640 a year — not significantly more than blue-collar workers with vocational school degrees can make. But the fuel propelling clean energy companies in China lies in advantages provided by the government, executives say.”

Kind of puts in perspective how even major changes to our system would have difficulty competing with that.
