The center of gravity of the academic, technological and, accordingly, scientific world is slowly but surely moving towards Asia. “Western democracies are about to lose the global technology race, including scientific and research achievements and their ability to retain talent. All these elements are essential for the development and basic control of the world’s technologies today and tomorrow.”

This conclusion opens a report by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (Aspi), an Australian think tank, which says it obtained its findings “by analyzing high-potential research in critical and emerging technology areas, focusing on articles published in leading journals – a plan,” it says. The Guardian.

According to the ASPI report, commissioned by the US State Department’s Center for International Engagement, China is expected to lead in 37 of the 44 high-tech sectors analyzed, ranging from “electrical batteries to communications based on 5G or 6G technologies.” “. “The United States remains a leader in only seven technologies, such as vaccines, quantum computing or space launch systems,” writes The Guardian.

After long waiting for the smallest new Western technology to copy or improve upon, China now leads the pack of nations in science. So good that today talent is exported en masse to the East, to the extent that “a fifth of the major publications [publicate de entităţi chineze] contain articles signed by researchers who received their doctorates in the Five Eyes countries [adică Regatul Unit, Statele Unite, Australia, Noua Zeelandă şi Canada]”, – reports the British daily newspaper.

Joe Biden, in his State of the Union address on February 7, reiterated the United States’ desire to continue its efforts to compete with China, saying it will continue to invest in American innovation and support the innovation of its allies while protecting advanced technology.
