Is China's current scientific and technological strength overestimated or underestimated?

China's scientific and technological strength is improving rapidly.

On June 25th, 218, the Document and Information Center of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Kerui Weian jointly released a series of reports entitled "Debate on the Technological Competition Pattern of G2 Countries" in Beijing. The report shows that among G2 countries, China has outstanding performance in scientific research and technological innovation, and its scientific and technological strength in the field of artificial intelligence is second only to that of the United States, and the growth rate is obvious.

China's expression of scientific research has improved rapidly, and its investment in scientific research funds, output of scientific research papers and academic influence all ranked second in the world in 212-216, and leapt to the core position in the global paper citation network. Among them, China is in the leading position in chemistry, computer science, engineering, material science and physics.

China has an outstanding position in technological innovation. From 212 to 216, the number of patent applications surpassed that of the United States, ranking first in the world. Compared with the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Canada and other countries, China's patents are more focused on domestic layout.

Extended information

In 216, the global venture capital supporting the industrialization of emerging technologies exceeded 13 billion US dollars, of which the United States attracted about 7 billion US dollars, slightly more than half, and 26% of the capital flowed to China. From 213 to 216, the venture capital attracted by China soared from about $3 billion to $34 billion, leading the world in growth rate.

Since p>23, the number of papers on science and engineering in China has greatly increased. According to the statistics in this report, the number of papers in China in 216 surpassed that in the United States, ranking first in the world.

If we only look at the number of papers with high citation rate, the United States and some European countries are still ahead, but China's papers are being cited more and more internationally, and the number of papers with high citation rate is also among the highest in the world.
