A critical aspect of China-US competition will be STEM talent. I don't think most people - including most Americans - understand just how dependent the US is on foreign talent to fuel its tech ecosystem.View attachment 95669
China has surpassed the US in STEM graduates years ago - and the gap is growing.

International co-operation is good for China, but losing talent isn't. The good news is that fewer Chinese top students go abroad (and even among those who go, many come back), this will be a major problem for the US going forward. China should make studying abroad harder, especially as Chinese universities are becoming better and better.
Just look at how Tsinghua and PKU have improved in the past few years.

This trend of improvement is similar for other Chinese universities. It should help alleviate emigration pressure of the brightest talents.
It's ironic that the most famous Chinese ranking (AWRU) doesn't have a single Chinese university in the top 25! Seems like a case of excessive self-depreciation.I'd be extra careful at quoting any Western based institutions' rankings
Agreed, though it does also have some limitations, such as not adjusting for size of the institution.The closest ranking to scientific quality is Nature Index
Well, let's just hope that US policy makers and elites look at ARWU solely instead of any other rankings.It's ironic that the most famous Chinese ranking (AWRU) doesn't have a single Chinese university in the top 25!
China's equivalent of the United States' Federally Funded Research and Development Centres
I have recently been research on Federal Laboratories of the United States and the basic and applied STEM and Industrial research that they do, and while I knew that NASA and the United States Department of Energy, as well as various service branches of the Department of Defence had a number of different STEM R & D centres and labs with different sets of highly sophisticated equipment filled facilities, it is only in recent days that I have actually come to realize the scope and scale of the facilities that these different Federal and federal affiliated agencies and institutions possess. The R & D facilities of the Departments of Energy, Defence, and of NASA are indeed the lynchpin of American modern technological and industrial progress since the early 20th century and continue to be vitally important. What are China's equivalent of such agencies and institutions?
Thanks for the list of Chinese Institutions, a clear and comprehensive listing of them wasn't so easy to find on the www. As far as the US listing that you gave, if you are calling me egregious for asking it for it, as much as I appreciate your provision of the Chinese listing, I did not ask for the US listing and it should be clear from my intro that I actually know of many or most of them quite well...Why do you ask questions whose answer you can find from a google search? You seem to have egregious tendency, as @ZeEa5KPul also pointed out in the semiconductor thread. Nonetheless, all American national labs combined falls short of Chinese Academy of Sciences -

Remember that all American r&d are published in english, while substantial faction of frontier r&d in China are published in Chinese including
- China National Space Agency [see the absence]
- Purple Mountain Lab [World leader in 6G]
- Peng Cheng Lab [AI cluster compute - ]
- National Institute of Metrology [Quantum]
China's United Imaging debuts on Monday after biggest STAR Market IPO this year
Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co will start public trading next Monday, the company said, after raising roughly $1.6 billion in the biggest initial public offering (IPO) on Shanghai's tech-focused STAR Market so far this year.
The Chinese producer of CT scan and X-ray devices raised 10.99 billion yuan ($1.62 billion) in an IPO this month that was more than 3,500 times oversubscribed among retail investors.
United Imaging, which competes with GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare and Philips Healthcare, benefited from coronavirus outbreaks in China, which boosted demand for scanning and imaging devices.
