Amidst growing global geopolitical competition, China’s aspirations range from exploration of the moon and Mars to achieving a world-class navy and world economic stature in the “Belt and Road Initiative.”  These programs are based on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education in K-12 through university level schools, as well as in professional educational programs.
