In Brief
- China's economy has been growing quickly, and so has its research efforts. In a short time, it has become a world leader?a startling achievement.
- The Chinese Academy of Sciences is on a par with some of the best scientific research institutions.
- This rapid rise in research prowess has been concentrated largely at the top, however. Currently a yawning gulf exists between the elite institutions and most of the others.
- China's universities will have to overcome a host of problems, such as inconsistent standards and academic culture, to continue improving.
For two decades now China has been Asia's juggernaut. It builds whole cities from scratch, leads the world in energy construction and has grown its economy by nearly 10 percent a year. Breakneck growth has not been confined to the economy?China has also become a scientific research world power in a remarkably short time.
