Why is this downvoted? the article is based on a REAL report by ASPI:
www.aspi.org.au

The report:
aspi.org.au/…/aspis-two-decade-critical-technolog…

If you like graphs here’s a good one:

But notice they do not claim China is necessarily leading the fields, only that they are doing more research.
For instance an area like advanced aircraft engines, where China is doing what looks like 5 times more research than USA, USA has worked on that for 80 years, and China is probably still catching up.

But have no doubt, China is a major force in research and technology today.
