A Chinese citizen, who happens to be the Vice Chair of a Chinese political party, working for the University of Science and Technology of China, using money entirely from the Chinese government, led a team consisting entirely of other Chinese citizens working for Chinese institutions, and you're wondering why we're claiming this was achieved by "China"?
Science might be a global cooperative effort, but this paper comes from China.

- throwaway4good 6y agoOne of the things that is interesting about the Chinese political system is the large number of engineers and scientists who also have high political positions. Maybe it is a sign of a society still focused on building stuff rather than redistributing and administrating what is already there.
