If I understand their criteria correctly, this ranking is based solely on the number of articles each university has published in Nature. I'm not sure that's a particularly good way to judge overall quality of the institutions.
Correct, the Nature Index is tracking high-quality research outputs.
China is also considerably outpacing US in terms of the number of STEM grauduates:

The impact of scientific papers published by China is also impressive:

Well, to be fair, China does have 4x the population...
Sure, but this further highlights the problem, because in the same paper there is a chart of STEM graduates as a percentage of all graduates.
In China, over 40% of college graduates earn a degree in a STEM field. In the United States, it is just 20%. And the trend is clear.
And American elites are still sleeping at the wheel.
