U.S. dominance in the Scientific world is slowly shrinking, but China is moving up quickly,....
LiveScience

The United States still leads the world in scientific research, at least in publishing the most biomedical studies in top-tier journals and spending the most money on research and development (R&D).

But that might not be the case for long, a group of scientists claimed in an opinion piece published today (June 15) in the journal JCI Insight.

America's dominance in the scientific world is slowly shrinking, the researchers found, largely because China has invested vast amounts of money in science over the past two decades. In 2015, China's biomedical research teams ranked No. 4 on the top 10 list for the total number of new discoveries published in six top-tier journals, the researchers said. In 2000, China didn't even make the top 10 on this list (coming in at 14), the researchers reported.

What's more, China spent 75 percent of what the U.S. spent on total R&D in 2015, the researchers said. In 2000, China spent a mere 12 percent of what the U.S. spent, they found.

Who ever controls the leadership of science throughout history also is the most powerful economic and militarily. So yes, keep defunding science republicans. Fucking idiots.

China led the world for centuries in technological advances prior to industrialization..

how are they defunding when your piece says that the US spends the most money on research and development (R&D).....Asians aint dummies matthew.....

The reason we have led the World in scientific achievement for decades is because we have lead the World in research science.
But the Orange Clown has dropped the ball on this critical issue (as well as a lot of other failures, of course), and the ambitious nature of Chinese society means they are sprinting past us, while we are mired in orange slime.

Yes, trump has said he's cutting research funding in just about every area. Instead, he's investing in buggy whips and button hooks.

He lied about China and coal. And, he's screwing us and the world on climate change because it benefits Russia. President Obama refused to back down and give in to Russia and Secty Clinton would have done the same. Huge reason why Russia wanted trump in the WH.

As with everything trumpish - Follow the money.
