Science Leader No More? China Challenges US Dominance

The United States continues to lead the world in scientific research, at least by publishing the majority of biomedical studies in leading journals and losing more money in R & D.

But that may not be the case for a long time, said a group of scientists in an opinion piece published today (June 15) in JCI Insight magazine.

US dominance in the scientific world is gradually declining, researchers found, largely because China has invested large sums of money in science in the past two decades.

In 2015, China’s biomedical research teams ranked the number 4 in the list of 10 for the total number of new findings published in six first-line journals, according to the researchers. In 2000, China was not even among the top 10 on this list (at 14 o’clock), the researchers reported.

In addition, China spent 75 percent of what the US Has spent a total of R & D in 2015, according to the researchers. In 2000, China spent only 12 percent of what the United States spent, which they found.

However, future research could be collaborative. More scientists in the United States and around the world are making new discoveries and advancements in working with international partners, according to researchers.

To get a better idea of the most advanced countries in the scientific world, the researchers studied six major journals (JAMA, Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, Cell, Nature and Science) and four 2000 mid-range journals in 2015. The researchers also Analyzed R & D investments in each country of this period.

Over the past 15 years, research funds in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and other European countries have stagnated, while China funds has increased significantly, noted searchers.

In 2015, the first 10 slots for the publication of biomedical research articles in top-level journals are destined for the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, China, France / Japan Switzerland, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia and Korea South / Sweden / Italy.

Meanwhile, the first 15 countries that spent more on biomedical R & D were the United States, China, Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, South Korea and Singapore.

These analyzes show that South Korea and Singapore are high on the list, according to the researchers.

The results suggest that the United States may one day move to its leading position in the world of scientific and medical research, the study authors said.

“It’s time for US politicians to reflect and decide whether the year-to-year uncertainty in the National Institutes of Health budget [NIH] and cuts are in our best social and national interest” said lead research piece, opinion “Said Dr. Bishr Omary, the Michigan Medical Director of Medicine at the University of Michigan in a statement.

The current road America could discourage the next generation of brilliant American minds from engaging in science, Omary said.

“If we continue down the road we lead, it will be more difficult to maintain our advantage and, more importantly, we want to disillusion the next generation of living biomedical scientists and enthusiasts who see a limited future in the search for a scientist or doctor – career Of investigator, “he said. [Creative genius: the brightest minds in the world]

The researchers carried out the study, as they wonder if the NIH budget, at least until 2015, would affect United States position in the world, they said.

During their research, they discovered that although the Chinese scientists who formed the United States used to work here, they now return to China after the end of their education.

In addition, Singapore recruits the best scientists in the United States and in other countries, now that the country is going to spend more on R & D, the authors of the study noted.

Malcolm Turnbull faces fresh leak after calling China a ‘frenemy’

MALCOLM Turnbull would have called China “frénemie” Australia at a public event in Sydney.
The report comes a day after the appearance of US President Donald Trump’s “off-the-record” mime appearance in Parliament’s assembly hall from noon to noon.

Mr. Turnbull commented on China at a public event in Sydney last October, Fairfax Media reported today.

It was revealed today amid growing concern about China’s influence on Australian politics and a series of tougher public comments by the prime minister on the Asian giant in recent weeks.

The comment, which means that someone who seems to be out in favor despite the underlying rivalry to a scenario would not be observation made in a pre-dinner drink session.

“You mean our friend-foe,” said Mr. Turnbull when the issue of the militarization of Beijing’s artificial islands in the South China Sea rose in the event.
It is taken as another sign that the position of the Australian government in China is stronger.

The Office of the Prime Minister has not commented on its use of the word “friend-enemy”.

Last month, Mr. Turnbull used an important speech at the Shangri La Security Summit in Singapore to warn China against the intimidation of its smaller neighbors.

“A coercive China found its neighbors feel of applications that give up their autonomy and strategic space, and try to counter Beijing to strengthen alliances and partnerships between them and especially with the United States,” said M. Turnbull.

He also commented on the conflict in the South China Sea, saying: “Maintaining the rule of law in our region, respect for the sovereignty of nations large and small is the key to peace and continued stability.”

Meanwhile, Beijing has responded to recent reports of China’s influence on Australian politics with scorn.
Chinese Ambassador to Australia, Cheng Jingye, said yesterday that the report had been “made in the air.”

“I have heard these accusations more than once since I was assigned here – in Chinese, we call it cooked rice during the night, which means repeating the same things over and over,” said M. Cheng at a Business Council event Australia-China in Parliament.

Chinese Ambassador to Australia Cheng Jingye reacted angrily to statements about China’s influence on Australian politics.

“Perhaps the producers of the program believe that these baseless accusations can prove the truth after being repeated several times.

“Those who made these accusations really have an imagination that is wild and morbid.”
