We look at the Nature Index 2022 Big 5 science nations’ Top Rising 100 science institutions. The very first thing we note is that the Top 23 rising institutions are all Chinese!
And 39 out of the Top 50 rising institutions are Chinese! (Seven are American, two are British, and two are German.)
We now look at the Nature Index’s top institutions ordered by research output. We note that 11 of the Top 25 institutions are Chinese (7 are American).
In total, 20 of the Top 50 institutions are Chinese (19 are American).
Overall, the Nature Index shows that China is the dominant country for scientific research surpassing even the United States. What an Inconvenient Truth!
