Methinks something curious is brewing in the state of Taiwan...

They are fearing China's technological prowress. I think it is more of a political issue that drives them towards scientific advancement....in the weirdest ways.

Why can't they just be like S.K or Japan and come up with some real technical research?

I can't recall the exact happenings... but imo there were 2 major science incidents in S.K. where scientists falsified data in their thesis papers (one was about genetics..). Not exactly the science that should be pursued nor something that sets them positively ahead of the taiwanese research done here. Sure thats isolated incidents but so is the case with the taiwanese research project on "Determination of Human Penile Electrical Resistance and Implication on Safety for Electrosurgery of Penis"

I recall of the scandal around the SK research on human cloning, but not what the second one would have been.

The first one was in 2006 or 2007 I think.....I read about that in high school. The guy simply copied one of the X-ray scans and modified it.

I read that he did it under intense stress : his superiors were bombing him for results. But that is the issue of "why bureaucrats should be test subjects" instead of "silly findings with dubious use to the medical world".

They prefer to advance of their own accord, maybe? Afraid that doesn't work anymore, not in this era of such technological advancement.

Top 10 Foreigners Japanese Want to Date

Quote:

Japanese asked “If you had the chance to date a foreigner, what nationality would you like to try?” yield up a ranking of nations which provides very little in the way of surprise.

The ranking, with the number of votes received:

Quote:

1. USA – 4,194

2. Italy – 3743

3. UK – 3,467

4. France – 3,249

5. Korea – 2,706

6. Spain – 1,535

7. Russia – 1,256

8. Germany – 1,195

9. Brazil – 396

10. China – 296

Japanese understanding of barbarian races tends to be closely tied to the same sort of pervasive media stereotypes seen elsewhere, probably explaining most of the list. China’s dismal placement at dead last is thus highly unsurprising.

MrTerrorist · 2010-08-02, 08:52

Well... at least Korea got 5th place which is surprising considering... well you know.

What dismal? At least it's in the top 10. Hundreds of countries aren't.

it's probably equivalent to being a Korean on the list.

FateAnomaly · 2010-08-02, 22:18

That is probably because thats the top 10 country that they know anyway.
