@yogthos I question the methodology of this work. There is lots of great work from Chinese authors but I haven't noticed any massive change like the study suggests.

There is amazing work going on, but it's not quite that far away. https://airankings.org/ is a good illustration for what I mean. You can see that Chinese universities clearly have a growing and might soon be dominant presence. But it's uneven. Clearly dominating in computer vision and NLP, soon to be dominant for machine learning, but no presence in robotics. |
@zzz I haven't been following the rate of publications myself to be honest. I did see a separate more broad study indicating that China has outpaced US both in terms of quantity and quality of research though https://physicsworld.com/a/china-overtakes-the-us-in-terms-of-research-quality-finds-study/
It seems natural that a country with over three times the population and a stronger education system that's free at all levels would be producing more quality research.
