Please explain the subtext you're trying to say by mentioning that

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

You wouldn't have posted this if the op had pointed out that the research had happened in the US. Please explain why.
