Anonymous04/17/26, 13:44No.16959946China has been leading science for a while now
New research shows China leads research in 90% of crucial technologies & ignoring this means we're living in a delusional bubble, where we still think the West is the Sci-Tech leader.
I think a lot of people are in denial, or just can't accept that China is already the world's leading nation for science and technology. I can't blame them for their ignorance. Most English-language media studiously avoid mentioning it. Time and time again, I see topics like AI, space & robotics covered, with only developments in Western countries talked of, as if China doesn't exist. Despite the fact that it's now the leader in so many fields.
The problem with complacency and ignorance is that it gives you a really distorted map of reality. You can't understand how the 21st century is developing without factoring in China, and ignoring China means you're being delusional.

Consider the following three scenes.
There is a lawn mower mechanic. He can set the spark plug gap. Clean the air filter. Sharpen the blades. Change the oil. Tune the carb so the air to fuel fix is correct. He can fix the lawn mower but he doesn't understand how all the components come together to make the engine work.
Next is the lawnmower designer. This guy understands how everything on a lawn mower works. Using that knowledge he is able to build a better more efficient mower. He adds an electric start. He reposition the air cleaner so it is less exposed to dust. He redesigns the engine to be more efficient. He even invents a new lawn mower that hovers off the ground rather than using wheels. ( Not all his inventions are great )
Then there is the guy who questions the need to even have a lawn mower. He comes up with several alternative solutions. He genetically engineers a grass that will only grow so high. Or he invents a tiny solar powered drone that senses when a single grass blade is too high and snips it with a scissor like implement, repeating this all day every day. Or he questions why people have grass lawns in the first place and decides to replace it with wild flowers, shrubs, bushes and small trees, letting it grow naturally, with paths snaking in and around the garden.
These are the three categories of scientists. Most belong in the first category, some in the second, and just a very few in the last category.
The Chinese however have none in the last category. They can fix, they can improve, but they can never think outside the box. They can never conceptualize a new idea or a different approach. They can only work with what they already have ( or stolen ).
Also: 99% of all /sci/ posters belong in the first category, watch them seethe.

Incredible how China fucked its culture by importing a foreign cancer ideology that won’t ever actually work for the better.And now they’re going to dominate the world because the west is retarded. Thanks Marx! Thanks Mao!

True. They saw the replication crisis and turned it up to 11. The west simply can't compete with this level of Chinese faux output.

Every country has their things going on. Anything pioneering gets swept up by government and funded covertly until it deemed safe. For example, Russia have a load of stuff on the human body and and strength, Japan have some stuff with dental and the human anatomy, america are trying to put wombs in trannys.... But yeah, China has an insane work ethic from birth and throws people at big problems. It is not a bad thing, yeah, their military will scoop a lot of it up and keep it quiet but they are also doing good things, like many other countries. I'd say most developed countries are about equal but China has more resources and people to chuck at this stuff.

Pick one and only one. Faggots with the smell of jizz on their breath will try to white knight for chinsects and argue it was the big bad US that made them look so pathetic and fucktarded.

Both authors are Chinese. I don't doubt there is bias in their writings. If China is the top country for technology, then why was their response to Covid so shitty? The other thing is that they don't share any of their findings.

China is fucking embarrassing. Incredibly fucking embarrassing. Super interesting history, became the gayest place in the world. You don’t need a gorillion dollars and to steal everything to lead the way, look at Japan, they are a billion times better than you. Can’t wait for the democratic revolution in China. That’s when China will start fuckin’ hauling ass.

Most of Chinka's "research": mostly is bullshit or stolen from others. Chinka does not lead in AI, space, or robotics at all, only in certain aspects of those fields.I agree that Chinka should be treated as a massive threat, and that the west needs to get it's shit together but you aren't quite as strong as you want us to believe, Chang. One of the best things we can do is ethnically cleanse our resident populations of hangoblin chinese proto-colonists and spies to cut you off from the main source of IP theft.

It's kinda just IQ+education diff. Like the best scientists in the US are Chinese, and those are the ones who were too dumb to get a good enough Gaokao for a top Chinese school. Any time you try to write a scientific paper nowadays, if you're actually using up to date sources, the reference section is embarrassingly Chinese.

I’ve noticed the pattern that the best researchers in China are just as good as the best researchers in the west, but their worst researchers are far worse than any in the United States or Europe. Almost every paper I’ve seen with a fundamental flaw has been a Chinese one.

Try and work for Chinese scientists, and see how many (not all) of them just game the system instead of actually using journals for the intended purpose. Once one of them becomes the editor of a top journal, see how fast he can get his friends published lmao
