美媒：研究显示，中国在全球科学领域“逼近”美国，将在多领域成为领军者

Core Insights - The analysis of nearly 6 million research papers indicates that Chinese scientists have taken a leading role in nearly half of the Sino-American scientific collaboration projects, highlighting China's growing influence in setting the global research agenda [1][3] Group 1: Leadership in Research - In 2023, the proportion of Chinese scientists in leadership roles for Sino-American joint research projects reached 45%, a significant increase from 10% in 2010. This trend suggests that by 2027 or 2028, China may achieve parity with the U.S. in research leadership [3] - The study provides insights into the changing power dynamics of Chinese scientists in international scientific collaborations, indicating that China is not only producing more scientific results but is also leading the production process [3] Group 2: Strategic Areas of Growth - Chinese researchers are expected to achieve leadership parity with the U.S. in 8 out of 11 key areas identified by the National Science Foundation, including artificial intelligence, semiconductors, energy, and materials science, by 2030 [3] Group 3: Context of U.S. Research Environment - The publication of this research coincides with significant turmoil in U.S. research institutions, characterized by substantial budget cuts and large-scale layoffs in federal research agencies, leading to an outflow of American researchers [3]
