So now you are telling us the citizenship determines the probability of Nobel Prize?I think if you will check none of those people were from China when they earned a Nobel Prize.

More history lessons? Lets see now 8 Chinese either born in US or that emigrated to the US has won Nobel Prizes for medicine, physics or chemistry, but no one in China has won a Nobel prize for medicine, physics or chemistry.. Israel has been in existance for less time then China, only have six million people compared to 1.5 billon chinese and have won ten nobel prizes. Thats right you all did win one Nobel prize,, that guy is still in prison.
Is that writen in your application for green card? If you become an american citizen, then your chance of becoming a Nobel Prize winner magically increase?
Quite a few of them received their education in China. Without those educations , they wouldnt contribute at all in US universities. Is that hard to understand for an average joe? You gonna take credit for that as well?
Regardless their place of birth, or when they changed their citizenships, they all contributed to the world of science. Unlike some average joe.
Israel? You got be kidding me.
Israel was supported by US with billions of dollars each year. Most of them received their higher education in other countries before they migrated to Israel. You gonna take credit away from those countries?
For better part of the 50s, 60s and 70s, China had to direct her resources to fight US, the soviet etc.
In case you still havnt figured that out, it means less money to build your country including your education system.
If you can barely feed your population, where is the incentives to create Nobel Prize winners?
And when did Nobel Prize become a measurement of a societys contribution to the world anyway?
I know it is hard for an average joe to understand this. As most of your cyllabus is about US history, (short as it is) But the chinese civilization has existed far longer than 60 years. And their contribution to the world is not measured solely by number of nobel prizes.
You need more history lessons?
