All true but hardly unique to the US. China is not exactly a proponent of academic freedom and intellectual curiosity.
I am not familiar with China's academic climate, but I find it difficult to imagine it's worse than situation here.
But even if it was, they produce twice as many PhDs; it would have to be really, really bad to be less effective overall.
They produce twice as many PhDs, but have over four times as many people.
Research papers aren't a per-capita thing, whether they have 4x as many people or 400x as many people, scientific advancement is scientific advancement.
