China is dominating the globe as a science and technology superpower, leading the world in 37 out of 44 technology sectors examined by an Australian think tank.
"Our research reveals that China has built the foundations to position itself as the world's leading science and technology superpower, by establishing a sometimes stunning lead in high-impact research across the majority of critical and emerging technology domains," according to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute in its Critical Technology Tracker.
"China's global lead extends to 37 out of 44 technologies that ASPI is now tracking, covering a range of crucial technology fields spanning defense, space, robotics, energy, the environment, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, advanced materials and key quantum technology areas."
In the other seven technologies, the United States was second-fiddle to China.
Also, according to APSI, China is home to "all of the world's top 10 leading research institutions" and generates "nine times more high-impact research papers than the second-ranked country (most often the U.S.)."
