Chinese Research and Publication
Has anyone noticed how many papers being published nowadays have the contribution of Chinese scientists? That, in my opinion, is the surest sign of things to come. More than through military or economic power, China will dominate the world through its science and scientists. I doubt there is anything we can do to avoid that, within the next century or so... Who will come next? India? Latin America?...

Research by Chinese
I had called this thread "Research", but it was transformed into a "Research in China" thread... If I had wanted to call it that, I would have, but there is always someone who thinks he has a right to second guess everybody else... The fact is that I wanted to comment on the role of Chinese scientists on global research, not on research in China, as such. There are plenty of Chinese researchers working abroad, namely in the US. Maybe the compulsive mod will be kind enough to change the thread's name to its original form or, at least, to change it to "Chinese Research"...

China's laissez faire approach is the ideal model for a hyperpower in a modern globalized world. They won't 'take over' in any meaningful sense of the world, they will just dominate in all of the world's powerful fields. After all, they don't have Manifest Destiny, they have The Middle Kingdom.Endovelico wrote:Has anyone noticed how many papers being published nowadays have the contribution of Chinese scientists?

Good for them. I can't wait to see what insane science comes out of China. It'll probably be terrifying and glorious all at once.
