Thanks for your email regarding inventor Ruilong Xie and effort to improve the article! I hope this clears up how Country is used on the article and why Singapore seems to be the better choice unless there is evidence going back earlier than university to suggest a different country.

Country is clarified below the table of inventors as country of birth or upbringing. We want to know where people spent the majority of their early years. We don't care about citizenship, work location or headquarters, current residence, nor residence at the time of patent activity.

I am a case in point. I was born in the US, am a US citizen, went to college in the US, reside in the US, and all of my patent activity was in the US. However, the majority of my upbringing was in Saudi Arabia, and so I list my country on the article as Saudi Arabia rather than USA. --Keithrwalker (talk) 19:04, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
