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.Source:https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-04048-7https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/aspis-critical-technology-tracker-2025-updates-and-10-new-technologies/

>>16959967You're fucking stupid
>>16959971Cool it with your kool-aid. I didnt join the cult
>>16959946Consider 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.
>>16959999>Also: 99% of all /sci/ posters belong in the first category, watch them seethe.This is fine. I actually get things done when i dont fight the nature of things and only plan around what i can control.
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!
>>16960091The future is so soulless it’s unreal
No nation can survive with dei feminism
>>16960088You can’t keep using this excuse forever. China isn’t obliged to share in its secrets.
In a hundred years the invention of the internet will be attributed to a yet to be Chang
scientific progress stopped already, no one is discovering anything. Kudos on China for getting their tech tree up to date but theres nothing else.
> broken school system> defunding science and fundamental research> fed slop news every dayYeah, I wonder why the US is falling behind so badly...
>>16960258theres no scientific research in china because there isnt anywhere. Zero discoveries, anywhere
>>16959946Aren't Chinese people mostly copycats who sell fake Rolex watches in the gutter of a white country?
>>16960111we aren't obligated to take the word of a country that is known for lying for numerous reasons as gospel either
>>16960263-500 social credit
>>16960274Can I arb my neg?
highest rate of retractions, 0 willingness to share data, I do not care
>>16960261Aren't they the world leaders in electric cars, solar panels and fusion?
>>16960091“We needed socialism to unite our people!”“Well you certainly didn’t need it before, when you re-unified your people dozens of other times throughout history. I think you would have been perfectly fine under democracy.”“Shut up gweilo bitch”
>>16960300AI cars in China are a meme. They keep driving into walls and ditches and they’re more of a joke. Also for some reason physics works differently over there and their cars explode frequently. But no where else. Hm.
>>16960300they are not the leaders in fusion they have just become a real competitor instead of a country that cannot do the same things as the west
>>16960247>scientific progress stopped alreadyAt a time when we have just invented AI LLMs and diffusion models...
>>16960247China might not invent anything new, but it is hellbent on actually building things that the West came up with 80 or 90 years ago and then decided "this is bad for the planet/society". China wants to generate the appearance of a futuristic society and they do that through mega engineering projects, led lights on buildings and flying drone cars etc. etc. etc. They want to generate a spectacle.
>>16960300>n electric cars, solar panelsElectric cars are not some new scientific discovery, they have existed since the 19th century. Modern versions are better because of lithium batteries and solid state electrronics, all of which were developed in the united states, europe and japan several decades ago, as far as the 1960s for pioneer work with first commercial batteries produced by Sony in the 1990s.Solar panels have been in research since the 19th century as well, and basically were invented in the west. The record for efficiency is 47%, and was achieved in 2019 the US, in Colorado.Fusion isnt a commercial technology, so, its basically as irrelevant as whatever mathematicians do these days. Vaporware isnt science.China is i the same niche as Poland or Mexico, an industrial contractor doing the heavy lifting for western, korean and japanese design companies.You cant refute this so you have to go with vague insinuations of "china leader" which you cant back.
>>16960414>At a time when we have just invented AI LLMsThis was not developed in China, BTW. AI has been in research since the 1950s, always in the west, and only got serious thanks to Googles "image search" work. Turned out AI didnt need better ideas, just giant data centers like google (and only google) had at the time.
>>16960468Name a new discovery from any period of time
>>16960497Discovery of infrared light
>>16960559That's just discovery of light and heat, the modern understanding is just better form of that, been done since time immemorial.
>>16959967>The journal that says voting for Biden and DEI is scientific?Ironically is this a proof of OP`s claim
>>16959967The competence of trump has taught me Biden was a genius.
>>16960613Is that why you castrated yourself? Genius move
>>16960578>That's just discovery of light and heat, tWho said it isnt?
>>16960627I asked for a new discovery and you provided something that wasn't new.
>>16960632How new is new to you, discovered yesterday?It was discovered less than 1000 years ago, which is less than a day for god.
>>16960636I think I was pretty clear, any new discover from any period. So far you have not delivered.
>>16960641discovery=Infrared lightPeriod=18th century
