Critical Technology

Australian think tank finds Chinese researchers beating Americans in 37 of 44 critical areas (wsj.com, 2023) across defense, space, robotics, energy, environment, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, advanced materials, and quantum technology.

“In the long term, China’s leading research position means that it has set itself up to excel not just in current technological development in almost all sectors, but in future technologies that don’t yet exist,” ASPI concludes. No other nation is close to China and the U.S. in the research race, according to the Canberra-based think tank, which is primarily funded by Australia’s government. The report put India and the U.K. distantly behind them in most sectors, followed by South Korea and Germany.
