Chinese researchers lead their American counterparts in the study of dozens of critical technologies, according to a new report that proposes Beijing is dominant in some scientific pursuits and positioned to develop key future breakthroughs.<\/p>\n
The report, published Thursday by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, puts Chinese researchers ahead of Americans in 37 of 44 technologies examined, across the sectors of defense, space, robotics, energy, environment, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, advanced materials and quantum technology.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the long term, China\u2019s leading research position means that it has set itself up to excel not just in current technological development in almost all sectors, but in future technologies that don\u2019t yet exist,\u201d ASPI concludes. No other nation is close to China and the U.S. in the research race, according to the Canberra-based think tank, which is primarily funded by Australia\u2019s government. The report put India and the U.K. distantly behind them in most sectors, followed by South Korea and Germany.<\/p>\n
The report says China\u2019s research interest and performance in military and space sectors are particularly notable….<\/p>\n
