Has the U.S. lost it's edge?

When did I ever say anything about excaping Hong Kong, Singapore or Taiwan?

Hong Kong is part of China, and Taiwan is, too---the PRC considers it a breakaway province, the people are ethnic Chinese, etc.

Pffft, Taiwan is not a part of China. Many Taiwanese people would be pissed to hear that. Anyway, I don't get what you are trying to say though. Are you claiming that USians are well-educated? :P

Well, according to the PRC it is...can 1.3 billion people be wrong? Plus the UN accepts that it is. And we all know the UN is the ultimate "moral authority" in international affairs.

I would be ticked off if someone told me that I was a twit. It wouldn't make the person wrong, though. ( Being wrong would make them wrong. )

Some are, some aren't. I suspect that there are an awful lot of illiterate people in China, too. It all depends on which population you're measuring.
