Interesting the ranks in 2021-2023 ... I 'd bet the gap is widening between China and the rest
With the big population, they need to produce even more scientific papers, like a couple of times more than that from the US.

it will, for sure
this is old data..
China has now significant lead over USA in all categories. like Number of Patents/Patent grants/NATURE INDEX/institutes with highest number of research papers/industrial trademarks ..

Basing the figures on the country's population may not be that reasonable considering the U.S. has the advantage of having quite a few researchers originating from other countries, notably from China itself.

Italy's performance is really impressive. I wonder what happened to Japan and France.
Before some people start celebrating that brain-drain is only an Indian problem let me give a few facts that will make other nationalities like China pause in their celebrations-
As you can see from the above China and India have among the highest staying rate in America after studies.
The research article below is even more damning.
More Chinese students stay in America than Indians. 90% to 87%.
Both China and India suffer from brain drain. Nothing to celebrate here.
This one is old news bro, it says 2005-2015.
This second one is the 2000-2015 period, an even older sample.
In the context of the Chinese development pace, that is already ancient history.
China is still in the net outflow of students against the US, but it is much less than before.
Due to various circumstances, scientists and graduates are increasingly returning.
And then here in this article, it suggest another major difference.
I also don't think Indians are showing the same trend of returnee growth.
Also while the total number of Chinese student emigration to the US is slowing and stagnating, Indian is still rising like crazy.
And if we are talking about the brain drain in total, then we have to look at the entire world in total, not just the US. This is some fresher data:
Nearly 90% of all Chinese students return home after studying abroad: MOE
Regarding India, I only managed to find this number across the spectrum, some other articles mentioned that 75% don't want to return:
"About 30-35% of Students End Up Returning":
Chinese students abroad stagnating (seen from Caixin data above), whereas Indian numbers are rising like crazy.
Another final point, China also has a total net inflow of scientists unlike India (and even the US):
Also, the enrollment of foreign students in China has increased from 36,000 in 2000 to close to 500k today (India 10 times less than that today, around 50k). Just Google this information - it should pop up, I don't want to overlink it anymore, it is very easy to find and verify.
Also, China is the most popular country in Asia for international students, the leading destination globally for Anglophone African students, and the second most popular education powerhouse in the world.
So not only does it have a net inflow of scientists, but graduates in even bigger numbers. And I don't think that India has all that as well.
Anyways, I'm not affiliated with either India or China, but looking at some objective parameters I could confidently say that India has a worse brain-drain situation than China in the US, and a big-time worse brain-drain situation than China has if we look at the whole world.
The rare animal is the most complete of the Chaoyangopteridae group
The scientific journal Scientific Reports on Thursday (Dec. 21) published an article revealing a new species of pterosaur, the Meilifeilong youhao, which belongs to the Chaoyangopteridae group. It lived in northeastern China during the Cretaceous period. The article was written by 14 Chinese and Brazilian researchers, representing nine institutions.
The species, like all the other members of the group, had no teeth and boasted a wingspan of over two meters. The publication marks 20 years of collaboration between Chinese and Brazilian experts in paleontology.
