Let's hope you're right.
Sometime, pick a research university. Go visit the college of sciences. Walk around. Look at the students. I strongly suspect you'll find lots of students that aren't from the U.S. - many are from China. Some are from India. There don't seem to be too many Americans.
Will that investment in intellectual capital pay off for them? Time will tell.
Will they surpass the U.S. in terms of economic power? Again, we shall see.
