    It’s both.
    Which isn’t a bad thing if you view this as a global society with a global problem to solve.
    In 500 years it won’t matter who gets credit.

    If it does matter to you, you still have 10 years to get it done. So get started.

      The Chinese already have a propensity for self promotion and thinking you’re better than everyone else is a fallacy. I agree it doesn’t matter who gets it done, just that it gets done and the technology is shared to make life on this planet better. I don’t know details of the Chinese sharing history/policy but if we look at other nations use of knowledge to manipulate and cajole, I don’t have much hope. I sure hope we have 500 years to find out.
