NO.
Chinese doctors and engineers are known for their hard work around the world;
while Indian doctors and engineers are known for their hard work within India and world's liberal mass media diversity fantasy in which everyone have the same potential.
On topic:
1. Heuer was addressing to an Indian audience in India. so what he should say to be polite if not "Indians this and that"? If he had addressed Koreans in Korea, the subject would have had been entirely different.
2. As a CERN official, to be 100% politically correct and safe, Heuer was talking from his backside indeed.
India is NOT "FULL OF well-educated Indians" unlike what he blindly repeated of those mainsteam media lies. Anyone with more than 2 brain cells and a bit of integrity knows that India, and India in particular given its size, is FULL OF illiterates instead, both in absolute # and in % term. What's the basis for that stupid claim of this liar Heuer? None!
3. World'mass media always say that "(GDP, wealth, history, etc, etc whatever of ) India + China is how much how much"- another stupidity or poorly-designed lie. Since China alone is already huge in every measure, in fact any country, say Somalia or Turkey + China is still a big chuck of world's GDP for instance.
The ambiguous term of "India + China is about the size of blah blah" is designed by the mass media to cheat on the low IQers, on the expanses of China.
4. more on the topic, "I must say that the quality of your researchers is very high”, claimed this liar Heuer.
Any proof of that? Zero! The facts are instead on the contrary:
Given India's sheer population size as world's #2, India's annual science papar output is pathetic in quantity in fact, and VERY LOW in quality (measured by int'l peer-quotations)as well, with modest annual growth rate similar to that of Spain!
A tiny land such as Netherlands or Austria or Sweden has mostly likely more scientific papers published per year (quantity) and has more int'l peer quotations (quality) than India, let alone a lightly bigger one such as Spain, Italy or Korea which still have less population than Bigger New Delhi.
Actually all these hard facts have further confirmed India's average IQ, contrary to what Heuer blindly claimed.
5. It's about the first time in the living memory that someone annonuces that Indians/India are good at nuclear research, considering its pathetic state of nukes, both military and civilian, generations behind the EU. Very amusing!
Perhaps Heuer should have thanked some second-rate Canadians as well since it were them who taught military nuclear abc level tech to Indians not that long ago.
