emerged from isolation to become a political
superpower. Its meteoric rise has been one of the most
important global changes of recent years. However,
when it comes to science and technology, most people
think of China as being stuck in the past and only
visualize a country with massive steelworks and vast
smoking factories. That may have been true a few years
ago, but it is no longer the case. Very quietly, China has
become the world’s second largest producer of
scientific knowledge, surpassed only by the US, a
status it has achieved at an awe-inspiring rate. If it
continues on its current trajectory, China will overtake
the US before 2020 and the world will look very different

growth since 1945, but not by a dramatic amount. Not
