Abstract

China’s science and technology prowess is expanding. Whether one examines the number of science and engineering papers that Chinese researchers publish in international journals, the amount of investment made in research and development (R&D) in China, or the number of patents that Chinese are filing, statistics indicate that the science and technology (S&T) capabilities of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) are developing rapidly (see Figure 1.1). These advancements are in line with China’s leaders’ clearly stated goal to make China “an innovation-oriented country” by 2020 and a “world’s leading science power” by 2050.1
