China passes US to top output of influential science papers

Quote:

China has become No. 1 in the output of highly cited natural science papers, a development that could make the country even stronger in terms of industrial competitiveness.

This should have been front-page news all over the world. The writing really is on the wall for US hegemony. When you dominate science, you dominate the future. Period.

You can't really trust those Chinese scientific papers.

Why not?

Nobody trusts the scientific integrity of China.

Everyone does actually. No one trusts the scientific integrity of many western countries because they publish ideogically driven rubbish and call it 'science'. I think you're confusing the two.

You mean laypeople?

No scientists. The papers being cited in the article are cited by other scientists all over the world. Apparently they didn't get the message that you're not supposed to trust the 'scientific integrity' of Chinese research.

Chinese researchers are notorious in the academic community for falsifying data and simple "most cited" metric doesn't say anything about the integrity of those papers (for instance if it's a bunch of shitty research papers citing other shitty papers then the citation index climbs without any consideration of quality).

But it doesn't really matter because the trajectory of the West is downwards anyway.

Bullshit.

Try it. For example, go take a Chinese study of the best beta blockers for high blood pressure and see how many Western doctors will prescribe Chinese recommendations over generally accepted Western prescribing practices.

I actually experience this shit, not to be disrespectful. I mean, you didn't think it'd be like this and I didn't either. But they don't do it for nothing. Chinamen are some devious mfers.

Western doctors are uncritically taught how to cure certain diseases without taking anything else into consideration, they literally go by decision trees.

It's all unironically all just a scheme to keep you on a spinning wheel, just patching instead of fixing the issue.

And with all due respect, doctors aren't that bright either. Some can't even read out tests I did, let alone interpret them correctly.

You can't trust ANY peer-reviewed scientific paper. Peer-review = circle-jerk.

China has the most important natural resource any country could ever want. A large (mostly) homogenous population with high IQ. Europe, the US and the anglosphere had this too but they basically threw it away.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

they don't want their IQs to be too high lest they have a revolution. That's why every now and then they kill intellectuals.

China needs to bring those old school kung fu/wuxia movies back and it's all over for the US. Replacing the Hollywood with something else would be THE final nail in the coffin for pig american system.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

sounds crazy but that is in fact their plan, they want to overtake hollywood. I find it kek and funny that disney made shang chi, a chinese super hero designed to get money from chinese ticket buyers but china doesn't allow it to be shown in their country because the actor once criticized them. Same with the Eternals movie directed by a chinese woman, she criticized them so it doesn't get to be played. And no more disney movies will it seems as spider man was kept out too. So disney lost a lot of money even though they bowed down to winnie the pooh.

The U.S. still leads China in the number of "top papers," or those in the top 1% of citations, with a share of 27.2%, versus China's 25%. But China is catching up in this category as well.

They've got over 4 times our population. Why is it even close?

Yea. Try reading all that ching chang chung chong shit. They need to talk plain like the rest of us.

I wish China engaged in demographic warfare sent millions of chink cuties westward so I could fuck their tight sideways pussies. Also I like their culture one billion times more than western culture and their slant eyes are nice to look at. Do with that information what you will.
