China Systematically Developing New Technologies

newsblaze writes "China, having recognized there are major gaps in its science and technology arsenal, released their Technology Development Plans. The plans cover five main areas — geology, mechanical engineering, metallurgical engineering and aeronautical engineering. Three areas are prioritized in space technology and six major goals are announced. All this comes after having first set out their 100 Year Vision of Greatness. They appear to be giving themselves a breathing space, telling the world they are interested in cooperation and also giving themselves a major target, in much the same way as John F Kennedy did for the USA."

Re:Meh! Seriously.

I'd mod you up if I had points....
I get a list of recalled products on a regular basis and >90% of those are manufactured in China. I don't really think that China is up to the standard that you need to be on par, never mind above par with the rest of the world.

The fact that there are reports of thousands of industrial spies in North America from China backs up what you say. Without political and social reform, China is a boiling pot that is about to spill over and put the fire out beneath it.
