+56 "China has more honor students than America has students." So what? That's kind of a bad comparison considering that the population of China is ginormous in comparison to America's population. Amirite?

I don't know the student population size so that might explain it

Plus only certain students go onto higher education, like they work on making an elite group of students. They only report their better grades.

In the movie "The Social Network" the main actor claims there are more people in China with genius IQs than there are people in the United States. I'm not sure if this is true. I think the implication of statements like these is that, in the future, the United States might have a very difficult time competing with China.

I agree, but this is why we have per capita comparisons.
