Lately I've just been posting who is funding studies posted on HN. Usually taxpayers via government foundations/institutes.
A lot of people on HN seem unaware of how innovative research is paid for and are even cheering the cuts in the US. China certainly isn't cutting research.
Cheers, understood. I think I assumed it was to call into question the results of the study. The US is definitely ceding the intellectual and international diplomacy realm to china
