Did China really surpass the West scientifically? Perhaps some of you know more about the academic world in China.

It wouldn't shock me. Europeans are a race on the decline. China is ascending.

In regard to the number of research publications in some research areas, yes, as you can see in your own chart. How much of it is bullshit, fraud, bad science, etc? Who knows, but there it is: the Chinese sure publish lots.

Centralized planning, it works (sometimes).
Nonetheless, FUCK XI JINPING.

>confusing quality with quantity
The Chinese culture is collectivist and conformists (even more so than Western societies), so I don't expect many scientific breakthroughs (i.e. new insights that force people to change their model/cognitive schema) to come from there. Until you show me that Chinese scientists discover more breakthroughs, my bet is on individualistic societies to produce better science

No idea why people think that somehow impedes progress.

I see it as natural progression. DEI, mass illegal immigration, affirmative action, and other similar programs are more foreign to myself, an American male, than China's rise through hard work.

>high impact
Why people give weight to such a game-able metric is beyond me.
Choose a metric that doesn't see value in empty citation circle-jerking.

it's not that hard to see

Is the 1.3 (or whatever) billion people nation citing itself to achieve "high impact?"

Not at all, that is much more kmportant in indualist societies where you have to constantly show allegiance to a particular subgroup, without revealing your belonging to a secret clique that you are a part of, and showing non-allegiance to an enemy group, or whatever fuck is going on among you there .

No, because all of their technology is based off of stolen western technology. China is not capable of actually developing anything independently. All they can do is steal and make inferior copies of our technology.

The primary purpose of Mossad is technology theft.
