News on China's scientific and technological development.

Scapegoat hunting in U.S. is nothing new, nor will it disappear soon. Americans of German decent during the WWI, Japanese Americans during WWII were all subjected to persecution for their place of birth, all because of their ancestral countries were at odd with U.S. Now it is the turn of Chinese Americans as China is restoring its strength.
Just saying it is no surprising. One lesson for everybody is that be careful switching your life boat when the sea is rough.
"Nothing new"," no surprising" carry an unfortunate connotation of belittling the genuine suffering of the guy in this case.
"Nothing new"," no surprising" do not describe, justify or make it any less painful of what happened to the guy.
Rape and murder are nothing new, nor surprising, until that actually happens to someone just a few degrees of separation too close to your comfort, then you would understand the full import of the words injustice and injury to human dignity. Frequency alone doesn't justify the actions.
"Nothing new"," no surprising" is pretty much like spitting in that poor guy face and telling him get over with it already.
I don't really think that would be acceptable to you, or anybody else.
First of all, this is way off topic of this thread "China's scientific and technological development".
On the topic of "human dignity". None of these that you have presented are acceptable to anyone, me included. You got that right.
But, back to reality, do you preach "human dignity" everywhere, anytime, day and night, and most importantly fighting for it JUST like the western powers do (everywhere, all the time) in the name of "human right"? You maybe do. But I don't, not here when the subject is "China, Science and Technology".
I share with your sentiment, but I disagree with your getting excited about it everywhere.
Beigene is chinese company , but more than 50% of it's shares are held by foreign investor. Chinese investment institutions and brokerages should ramp up their share in this kind of company, because in the future this kind will be the " battlefield " of biopharmaceutical tech war

I think China has basically decided that amid the Trump hostilities, it is no longer willing to divulge the true capabilities of its top systems as that knowledge provides information with which to predict how much China's key industries and military can benefit from them. Indeed, in June, it withheld more than one Shuguang supercomputers that were said to be over 50% more powerful than America's top system. I can't find any more public information on how much they or other new Chinese designs have improved since then but China's continued ascent on the number of TOP500 systems as well as capability of their aggregate performance (even without the big guns) strongly suggests parallel improvements to its elite supercomputers.
