[mr.rubycarnation]

When a lone power declines, the other thrives and steps in for the next majority.

[drewh]

I dont understand how China is more innovative than the US.

Important is not the quantity, it’s about the quality. So, 45% of patents from China for what?

[ajburrr]

This should be retitled "China comes out of nowhere Part X"

[MGZetta]

I like how everyone says "China steals intellectual properties" and conveniently forgets the fact that they also register almost half of all patents nowadays. Lol.

What country is the purple colour? If it means "all others", you might want to show it on the index.

Congratulations & respect to Chinese politicians from Republic of Indias people. God bless you guys as country may be China or India we started together and China won by huge margins on many sections.

Example we Indians use OPPO and VIVO and Realmi cell phones more than Korean Samsung now.

Thanks to Chinese politicians now Asia can be a super power again.

China+Japan+Korea
East Asia is so strong!

[BlueOcean]

Title should be China moving Japan and others 😂

When China gets into the game, the game is about to be over soon.

[AntonioVasco]

The total is not 100%. Which is the purple slice?

[underpauler]

It would be interesting to see this since 1900. Total and per year.

[kengo]

India will be numbar one! India will rule the world!

[clifffraser]

Welp, you dictate the patent laws and guess what...

The problems with videos like these is that it gives a very raw picture. It is like judging the book by its covers. The Chinese covers are the largest but that doesn't mean they contain the most information. It is the quality of these patents that matter not the quantity. It is very hard to measure which nation has the best quality patents but it is easy just to see real world examples. In the real world China is definitely not half the output
