Maybe not per capita yet but eventually could be more than 4x - PRC / East Asian academia bias towards hard science. PRC generating roughly OECD combined in STEM @ ~5M per year. Last rough figure was 15M total STEM a few years ago, wouldn't be surprised if PRC on trend to hit 80-100M by 2050 which will be truely absurd amount. Like west memeing about PRC 20% youth unemployment but that's at least 4M skilled labourers entering workforce per year.
