2025 Nature Index… we are, in real time, witnessing China’s science/technology/innovation go parabolic. 13 of top 20 research institutions and 16 of top 20 research universities are Chinese. China’s Nature Index score was 45% above second place US in 2024 after overtaking the US in 2023. If you don’t like the results, you are free to: 1) Take it up with Nature. I’m just a messenger. Their methodology is here: 2) Consult other sources. Nature’s conclusions are confirmed by similar studies conducted by Japan’s National Institute of Economic Policy (NISTEP), the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI), Ohio State University, numerous multinational investment banks, Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) if not the global economy where China has taken over and dominated industry after industry. 3) Bone up on differential equations and particle physics and apply to your preferred university. Research isn’t going to do itself.
