In 2019, The Economist examined China’s potential to become a scientific superpower. Today, it is clear that China has achieved this status. Chinese scientists have gained prominence in high-quality science measures, surpassing both the United States and the European Union in producing high-impact papers,,.
China leads the world in physical sciences, chemistry, and Earth and environmental sciences. It dominates publications on advanced technologies such as perovskite solar panels and hydrogen extraction from seawater. China also excels in quantum computing, with research teams achieving significant breakthroughs, such as setting a record for the number of entangled quantum bits...
China’s patent production has surged, though many are incremental improvements rather than groundbreaking inventions. However, its strong industrial base and cheap energy allow for rapid large-scale production of innovations. This industrial advantage is complemented by China’s impressive scientific infrastructure..
Since 2000, China’s spending on research and development (R&D) has grown 16-fold....The CCP meticulously directs funding into strategic areas such as quantum technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductors, and biotechnology...
Project 211 is a Chinese government initiative launched in 1995... The 985 Program is a Chinese higher education initiative ... The China Nine League, or C9 League, is an alliance of nine top Chinese universities...These initiatives, along with substantial financial incentives for publishing in high-impact journals, have transformed Chinese universities into research powerhouses...
China’s scientific system is closely linked with its state and military, raising concerns about intellectual property theft and national security...

Despite some economic setbacks, China continues its rise as the primary military threat to the USA, while most of the USA leadership prioritizes promoting Wokeism as part its continued losing war against God, apart from a relative remnant of Biblical born-of-the-Spirit believers of effectual justifying faith and thus conservative morals.
Who, along with some other conservatives of varied degrees and motivation, politically (at least) oppose the power-seeking Left and thus are marked as enemies of a United states of Sodom, though faithful servants of the Lord Jesus seek the salvation of both peoples and nations.
And yet, America is more accountable than most others, and as will realize chastisement by the hands of the wicked, which God uses for such, (Psalms 17:13) and thus to which applies:
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. (Hosea 8:3-4)
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. (Hosea 8:12)
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. (Hosea 8:14)
Yet,
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? (1 Peter 4:17-18)

Time to export DEI to China.
We have trained our replacements.
In all of history’s great wars and the contests between civilizations, it has always been that the better thinkers come out on top.
“Diversity is our strength”...
And American colleges are all to happy training the Chinese. And they aren’t majoring in “Chinese Theory” or some other BS degree. It is frequent now that major discoveries and technological advancements are done by Chinese researchers in American colleges.
Aug. 28 — A little-noticed White House regulation change urged by Silicon Valley will allow the Chinese military to buy some of the most powerful U.S. computers without a government license or security review.
The move, announced by President Clinton on Aug. 3 and applauded by Vice President Al Gore, is drawing fire from security experts who say the computers could help foreign militaries develop nuclear weapons more quickly, and from a congressman who charges the White House is compromising national security for political profit. - https://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=96010&page=1
And the sell-out of America continues to this day. Who do these idiots think is going to defend them against the Chinese? Where do they think they're going to run?
Political morons, the bulk of them.
The Economist examined China’s potential to become a scientific superpower only of it’s easy for them to steal other peoples ideas/products
I’ve been in science/engineering since around 1990 or so. Since 1986 if you include college.
Years ago the majority of publications were from Europe, Japan and North America.
That’s not the case today; most are from China.
In terms of sourcing materials and products from China it’s different because quality varies tremendously from excellent to awful.
The good news is that all of the world-changing science has been done. China is a manufacturing, financial and military threat.
I'm not being snarky asking this. I'm legitimately curious. In your opinion, how many of the publications were real scientific advancements and how many were bogus political screed writings masquerading as "science"?
Unfortunately, the veneer of China’s technological achievements can’t hide the fact their technical goods are often of very shoddy quality. Even Apple’s products manufactured in China had to get outside supervision to ensure reasonable quality.
Well there is little in the way of “bogus political screed writings” but there are big problems that permeate scientific publications. Not just those from China but from everywhere.
First is repeating what should be common knowledge in a particular field (I do materials science and packaging). We don’t need to know everything about, say a polymer, in the introduction. That’s what encyclopedias are for.
Second is that all sorts of strange and unuseful materials are fabricated and written about. Many of them read as if some student needed a Master’s degree thesis topic so the professor went to the chemical cabinet, pulled out a bunch of random reagents and said to combine these into a novel product.
Often you have to wade through papers until you finally find one in which the researchers did something that is actually useful.
Third is repeatability. About a third of the experiments from publications I have repeated for product development turn out not to work.
If you work in private industry as I do you need to consider simplicity, cost and usefulness to the end user. For academics the publication is the goal, not a product.
The Chinese academics have these problems just as much as do their international counterparts. But hey, it’s not their money they’re playing with, it’s the taxpayers’.
Let’s not promote “God wants us to have a war with China” narrative.
Do not blame China, Russia, or anyone else for America’s self-inflicted psychosis and self-suicide.
“Today, it is clear that China has achieved this status. Chinese scientists have gained prominence in high-quality science measures, surpassing both the United States and the European Union”
AND, a large number of “American” and “European” scientist and researchers are of Chinese descent.
There is no blame on China, Russia, or anyone else for America’s self-inflicted psychosis and self-suicide, but the expectation that war with dominion-seeking Communism and Islam and their friends will result.
Besides renewables and despite having over a billion people they contribute jack to human advancement.
One really needs to despise America to believe this crap.
The grass is always greener somewhere else pointing mostly to two second wo9rld nations is of naive 12yos.
