By at least one measure, China now leads the world in producing high-quality science. My research shows that Chinese scholars now publish a larger fraction of the top 1-percent most cited scientific papers globally than scientists from any other country.
This has left US policy experts and government officials worried about how China’s scientific supremacy will shift the global balance of power. During the 2000s and 2010s, much of the work coming from China did not receive significant attention from the global scientific community. My colleagues and I counted how many papers published by a country were in the top 1 percent of science as measured by the number of citations in various disciplines.We were surprised to find that in 2019, Chinese authors published a greater percentage of the most influential papers, with China claiming 8,422 articles in the top category, while the US had 7,959 and the European Union had 6,074.
The more diverse and varied the referenced research was in a single paper, the more interdisciplinary and novel we considered the work. We found Chinese research to be as innovative as other top performing countries. In October 2022, the Biden administration put restrictions in place to limit China’s access to key technologies with military applications.
