Chinese institutions are increasingly catching up with their American counterparts on R&D metrics
β’ Chinese firms spend nearly just as much as US ones on R&D, esp. in advanced materials, 5G and batteries
β’ At US$110bn in 2023, Chinese public spending on R&D is nearly 70% higher than that of America
Economiestudenten leren niet goed hoe markten in de praktijk werken, vindt oud-directeur van het Centraal Planbureau Coen Teulings. Met Martijn Huysmans schreef hij een lesboek dat de rol van instituties centraal stelt.

The total number of far-right seats in the Tweede Kamer:

2023: 41
2025: 42 π
And I donβt even count BBB here, which has radicalized significantly in the last year.
With the official prognosis giving one additional seat to PVV and one to FvD compared to the ext poll, the narrative should really not be that the Netherlands/Jetten has beaten the radical right. The far right bloc remains remarkably stable.
