China Now the Most Prolific Contributor To Physical Sciences, Engineering, and Math (bloomberg.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Bloomberg: Thirty years ago in December, the modern exchange of scholars between the U.S. and China began. Since then, Chinese academics have become the most prolific global contributors to publications in physical sciences, engineering and math. Recent attempts by the U.S. to curtail academic collaboration are unlikely to change this trend. Qingnan Xie of Nanjing University of Science & Technology and Richard Freeman of Harvard University have studied China's contribution to global scientific output. They document a rapid expansion between 2000 and 2016, as the Chinese share of global publications in physical sciences, engineering and math quadrupled. By 2016, the Chinese share exceeded that of the U.S. Furthermore, the authors argue that these metrics -- which are based on the addresses of the authors -- understate China's impact. The data don't count papers written by Chinese researchers located in other countries with addresses outside China and exclude most papers written in Chinese publications. The researchers adjusted for both factors and conclude that Chinese academics now account for more than one-third of global publications in these scientific fields.
Let's hope the Chinese government politics don't fuck it all up for humanity. Those Muslim concentration / re-education camps are well run enough to make Hitler blush in hell.
Now, exclude all papers found to be misleading, wrong or outright fake. How big is China's impact on contributing to the sciences now?
I bet they even came up with some of it on their own, without plagiarizing it!
Yes, but the US has the best Fortnite players. Who's laughing now?
Cue Alice Cooper's "School's Out"...
When you put lots of money into lots of research by lots of people, this is the result. I should expect that Chinese universities have the same requirements for tenure depending on submitting of published work, result: lots of papers.
China is still the least prolific contributor to human rights and decency.
Furthermore, the authors argue that these metrics -- which are based on the addresses of the authors -- understate China's impact. The data don't count papers written by Chinese researchers located in other countries with addresses outside China and exclude most papers written in Chinese publications. The researchers adjusted for both factors and conclude that Chinese academics now account for more than one-third of global publications in these scientific fields.
So the study does somehow take into account all papers written by US researchers outside the US? If not, why wasn't that mentioned and if it was, why wasn't the same methodology used for Chinese authors?
How many of the papers contain repeatable results ?
I don't think this factors in what I believe is a higher likelihood for scientific papers originating in China to involve plagiarism and/or fraud. Although the authors note an increase in publications in high-impact journals like Nature and Science, there doesn't appear to be any other real quality metric - just a note about valuing the average paper coming from China as 1/5 as much as a Western paper, based on number of subsequent citations. With the goals of this study, I don't think that's a rigorous enough metric to draw any conclusions other than that the quantity of papers emerging from China is increasing.
A few years ago when I was at university doing my BEng degree almost half of my course were chinese students so it doesn't come as a real surprise.
I only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either. - Scott Adams
The problem here is counting papers.
It leads to endless improper
conclusions and comparisons, and this is just the latest such nonsense.
In my specialty field (tactfully not mentioned) China has zero representation.
The word on the street is that in many fields they produce cutting edge research, while in
others fields they lead the world in fake research.
What are these raw numbers meant to tell us?
Nothing of value in those papers. If you've ever met any of these Chinese Phds, they ain't all that.
From what I have seen so far Chinese papers are universally fraud. I am on peer review lists for a number of papers, and from what I have seen it is mostly junk papers that are coming out of China. Not just language, that can be forgiven/edited, but bad methods, obviously cooked data, blatant plagiarism.
Their work-ethic aside, China has more honors students than america has normal students. They also have more english speakers. Was bound to happen sooner or later.
There are four Chinese for every American, five for every two Europeans. All other things being equal, they're going to become the dominant country in everything.
The only country that's going to be close is India (again, all other things being equal).
Lacking a major war, or internal political factors, the Chinese and Indians are going to dominate the world over the next couple centuries, and the USA is going to go the way of the UK - a nation that dominated "back then"....
Note, for the record, that I don't think "all other things being equal" actually applies. I don't think either China or India can liberalize enough to allow their inherent advantages to really take hold. But you never can tell....

We Will Proudly Build Economic Power for Ourselves
It is the fixed will and determination of the Korean people to build a powerful socialist country to be envied by the whole world on this land without fail in the spirit of self-reliance and self-development and by dint of science and technology.
We did not have an idea of building economy with others’ help.
We have done all by ourselves on the principle of self-reliance and self-sufficiency to perform world-startling miracles.
The credit for this is just the single-minded unity of all the service personnel and people and the great spirit of self-reliance and self-development and science and technology.
The entire army and all the people have struggled in the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and fortitude, more closely united behind the leader to win victory without any deviation in the face of the sustained vicious sanctions of hostile forces against the DPRK and despite severe ordeals.
Self-reliance and self-development and science and technology are the life and soul of socialist Korea and the driving force of the leap forward and this is the only road we should take. It is the precious truth proved by the army and people of the DPRK in practice.
The power of Juche Korea is indeed unfathomable.
No force can check the advance of our people towards the bright future.
Final victory is in store for our people going ahead by dint of self-reliance and science and technology.

So much of their papers are utter crap. Their larege volume of crap makes meaningful literature searches difficult.
China is going strong in the sciences, while America has a replication crisis in the humanities. For anyone who doesn't know, this means that the "science" performed for the last 20-30 years or so in the humanities is not able to be replicated. In other words, it's not science. In a strange coincidence, in the last 20-30 years the intellectual upper class moved far out to the left.
For more on this, see Heterodox Academy's piece on the topic.
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
If only their quality was as high as their quantity.
One common complaint within scholarly circles in recent times is the unusually low quality of published works coming out of China.
China is to academic publishing as India is to computer software development. It seems like every other person there is producing this stuff, but only a very small subset produce something worth paying attention to.
It seems like the vast majority of discoveries in those fields are not reproducable. Nature has a whole series of concerns on that https://www.nature.com/collections/prbfkwmwvz
There are so many crap journals that don't do peer review (400,000) that those articles are tenuous at best. https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2018/06/23/some-science-journals-that-claim-to-peer-review-papers-do-not-do-so
Readjust to study to be only from reputable journals with good track records and let's see how the numbers stack.
I know some people recoil at the idea of the advancement of China (for obvious sociopolitical reasons) but the advancement of science is good no matter where it happens. I'm disappointed by the lack of investment in science by my own nation but the advancement of humanity via science is global.
Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
The US still outranks China on papers published per capita, but they are catching up.
In a more balanced world, all countries with more than, say, 50M people would score close to each other on per-capita rankings for things like university graduates, papers published, percent whose lifestyle would be described as "middle class or higher," percent whose lifestyle is "above poverty level," etc. etc.
As college admissions
Very strange results...
So where are the chinese tech accomplishments ? Where are the intels or sony or boeing/airbus of china ?
Chinamakes a lot of stuff, but most of it is rather simple in comparison
Or at least this seems to be the prevailing opinion of many in the US and indeed the West in general. Not just among the decision makers, but the average person and MANY of the posters here on slashdot.
Typically, the rant is about "cheap Chinese crap" being sold in 'Murica. Never mind the fact the fact that the Chinese factories are supplying exactly what the western retailers are ordering from them. You design it...they are just making it for you.
Also typical seems to be the idea that the Chinese can only copy. That they are not a people capable of original thought.
I guess that's true.. Unless you count things like paper, gun powder, the compass, silk, alcohol, type printing, the clock, iron smelting, farming, money and stuff like that. But mainly.. not a "thinking people".
I suppose it is true that the west has had a near monopoly in the last 40 years in terms of tech inventions, however I think the willingness of the Chinese people to rapidly adopt new technologies en masse has been and will be continue to be very important.
Then there is the fact that they are dumping massive amounts of cash into research and education, while the US is spending less and less per capita each year.
Of course it is only a matter of time before that many people with that much access to tech over take you.
History does tend to repeat, it would seem.
This is because the majority of them are good at proliferating every other unsuspecting country and stealing their technologies, shipping it back home.
It lacks "computer science".
90% of the software is written and documented in english.
9% in another language.
1% in brainfuck or obfuscated.
I didn't find any software that is written and documented in chinese.
Decades ago, the terms "least publishable unit" and "least patent-able unit" were being thrown around.
Bear in mind that patent laws and publishing practices have undergone some changes in the years since.
Under an "LPA" philosophy of the time, you did what you could to maximize the number of publications and patents you could get out of any invention or research, because when it came to getting money from entities that don't look too closely, "weight-ness makes great-ness" and both will be good for your employer/institution and your personal career.
Some things have changed.
The USA has a new patent review process.
Many more journals are open/non-paywalled.
Many more "journals" and "conferences" are "fake/in name only."
Some things haven't:
Many people including many academics are still motivated by greed and prestige.
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
We have the greatest concentration lawyers, and we are the most concerned about transgender bathroom rights. Also we are very very safety conscious. Safety is the most important thing in the world according to the media. Also we have the most television personalities with deeply compassionate liberal points of view.
With all these things going for us, how can we loose.
Have a safe day!

China has been working on this for decades, and there have been some notable academic fraud gaffes, but they've been putting in serious effort, and it adds up over time.
There are a lot of network effects in scientific research, and historically there's been a huge brain drain as Chinese have looked abroad for opportunities. But China has worked hard to create those opportunities domestically and it's no longer necessary to leave to do world-class science.
Some projects have been white elephants (the LAMOST telescope is a clever design hindered by a location near Beijing's notorious air pollution, and the FAST radio telescope is having startup problems), but the Daya Bay neutrino experiment has produced genuinely world-class results. And the CJPL underground laboratory looks very promising.
China desperately wants Nobel prizes. Plenty of expatriate Chinese have won them (like Yang Chen-Ning of the well-known Yang-Mills theory), but their first domestic winner was Tu Youyou in 2015 (Medicine). Now they're after chemistry and physics.
It used to be that China was long on ideological exhortations and graft, and short on solid engineering. It's learned that reality has a strong preference for the latter, and has built world-class infrastructures in HVDC power transmission and high-speed trains.
(It seems that the U.S. is going in the exact opposite direction, squandering its world-class science and engineering in favour of, you guessed it, ideological exhortations and graft.)
I wonder if the CEPC will go ahead. That's expensive even for China, but it'll put them in the forefront of particle physics.
what does it MEAN that indians write more computer books when fast-moving innovators don't read computer books like they did in the 1990s, and china pumps out more academic research? is this research paywalled? does anyone read all these papers?

Any group with disproportional representation of any race is — by the progressive definition racist. Blacks in the US comprise about 12% of the population, so it may be excusable for a group of fewer than 10 to not have any. But Whites are a majority, so any group of two or more without a single White person is racist. Case closed.
Now, as we also know from the same progressive teachers of the people, denial of racism is in itself racist. Yes, I'm looking sternly at you, racist, you have been exposed.

That's nice, the largest nation in the world produces the most reseach papers got it. But are they mostly crap papers? https://qz.com/978037/china-pu... https://www.nytimes.com/2017/1... https://www.nature.com/news/20... Did the author of that peper just use numbers of papers written, just as they only used email addresses from within China to count Chinese papers?
"Governments have been dominated by the corporate entities and citizens have ceased to matter in public policy" true in
Retard Alexander Peter Kowalski continues his lies and failure Like how he claims the Chinese copied him but can't produce any evidence.
How about when he states that hosts does port filtering but again can't backup his statement which was shown to be false.
There is also his list of "experts" who support him but it turns out they don't say what he is claiming.
This also ignores his out of context quotes he uses to lie by omission.
The problem with APK is that his entire reputation is built upon the lie he told years ago that hosts is an effective security solution. It has been exposed numerous times as being a lie and when exposed APK fails to argue logically and instead will try to deflect criticism, change the subject, move the goal posts, return to a previously disproved statement, demand you prove you did better than his file concatenator, or just call people names. Expect that he will used these tactics to try to deflect from these criticisms. He will continue to lie by stating that he won or "dusted" you while failing to refute anything you said, will never provide real evidence, and generally try to dodge the issue.
Face it APK is one of the most detested individuals here for good reason. When ever his poor behavior, awful logic, over statements, and horrendous writing are called out he has a fit and has done so for years across the internet. He is a spammer, and is an abusive insecure little man who is washed up and never amounted to anything. Until he produces actual verifiable facts supporting his case nothing he says should be taken seriously.
I read a lot of cancer research. China's researchers are repeating a lot of western studies done over the previous half century, which I find useful. But it is not original research.
I surmise that China genuinely wants to know more about old answers, from the nuts and bolts to basic veracity, find opportunities (lots of them) and to train a generation of its scientists with an answer guide.
But those are the papers on which most start-ups are founded.
B...b....b....BUT CHINA has no equality enforcement for board rooms and tech jobs!! How could a true meritocracy like that ever be the dominant power in science!?!?!
This metric is flawed, it makes sense that two nations of equal standing, where one has triple the population, should have more of one thing or another. Adjust the metric to be "As a percentage of its population" and maybe it might mean something.
Reading past news about this, isn't being published a requirement for advancement? Or at least increases your academic resume? My understanding is that it is like a big social circle jerk, whereby having more publications gives you a one-up on fellow academics. In this case quantity is more important than quality, and peer review is basically a rubber stamp. Please correct me if wrong.
It is because China, unlike the US, takes education a bit more seriously ?
The US hasn't yet figured out that you can't rely on outsourcing to solve all of your problems. ( A good example is relying on Russia to act as Space-Uber to get your astronauts up to the ISS )
When you piss off the country you rely on to make the magic happen, well. . . . you better have a local solution to fall back upon.
Which is why the public education system needs to be overhauled.
You don't get to stay a superpower for very long when your populations education sits at the bottom of your priority list.
The Chinese lie, steal and cheat on a massively huge scale. 99% of everything that comes out of that shithole of a country can be assumed to be badly ripped off from other sources.
Fuck China.
See subject & 2 questions you won't answer: 1.) Do hosts stop threats served by hostname (the way threats are done most) by blocking them? Yes. 2.)

If you put the more generic racist arguments aside of Chinese not being a people of "original thought", there is a question of whether the modern Communist Chinese system will be able to be creative and inventive at the same rate as the West. This was the big question for a lot of nations, China included, on whether you could replicate the rapid pace of Western technological innovation and thought without the "harmful" concepts of liberal society and free flow of information. This is doubly true as the current PRC government under President Xi undoes a lot of the liberalization that had been driven by Deng Xiaoping following the Cultural Revolution.
Your bigotry is leaking, as are the lies you believe.
Ed Tech is a great field ... for taking money from the taxpayers. Good luck P-hunting. I say that rather cynically, as I've found that every "improvement" in technology correlates with a corresponding decline in critical thinking outcomes. But, ed tech is great for memorizing the answers to canned questions.
Huawei, Xiaomi, ZTE, Oppo, DJI.
Due to sanctions Chinese can't purchase semiconductor manufacturing tools unless they are two process nodes behind the leading edge technology.
As for their aeronautical sector, they working on it, with projects like the Comac 919. They are still behind countries like Russia, Brazil, Canada though.
