International online article: On September 18th, the website of the Asia Times in Hong Kong published an article by American scholar and former professor at the University of Massachusetts School of Medicine, John Walsh, titled "China dominates high-quality natural science research". The article highly praised the quality and development speed of China's scientific research, pointing out that the US government is seeking hegemony to hinder US China scientific and technological cooperation and attempting to curb China's development. The article criticizes that this practice hinders technological progress and is regrettable.

The article provides a detailed introduction to the latest survey results of the Nature Index published by the international authoritative academic journal Nature. The author believes that the United States is currently striving to curb the development of science and technology in China, attempting to decouple the technology of the two countries. In this context, the results of this natural index survey have profound significance.

The Natural Index tracks research papers published in 82 high-quality journals, reflecting global high-quality research output and cooperation based on the number and proportion of papers published by relevant institutions, countries or regions. According to research, Chinese authors made the greatest contribution to high-quality natural science research in 2022, ranking first in the share of papers published in high-quality journals for the first time, surpassing the United States. The contribution share of Chinese authors for the whole year of 2022 was 19373, while that of the United States was 17610. In 2016, China's share accounted for only about 37% of the US share. Since the first tracking of this data in 2016, this situation of US decline and China's rise has been happening every year. John Walsh exclaimed in the article, "China is rising at an astonishing speed."

In the top 1% of globally cited papers in 2022, according to the analysis by the Institute of Science, Technology and Academic Policy of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan, the number of Chinese papers exceeded that of the United States.

In addition, in 2019, Chinese universities trained 49498 STEM Ph.D. students, while the United States trained 33759; It is expected that by 2025, China will cultivate 77179 STEM professional PhDs, which may double that of the United States. The article argues that these doctoral students, as talent resources, have promoted the sustainable development of China's scientific cause, and the cultivation of high-quality doctoral students relies on the basic education system that delivers students to universities. In this regard, China has not disappointed people either. According to Forbes magazine in the United States, in a survey on the reading, math, and scientific abilities of 15-year-old students, Chinese students performed far better than their peers in other countries.

The author warns that attempts by the United States to decouple from Chinese technology may have counterproductive effects. Since the proposal of "returning to the Asia Pacific" in 2011, the United States has been trying to weaken China and curb its development. Currently, militarily, the United States continues to increase its troops in the Western Pacific region; In terms of economy, the United States imposes sanctions, tariffs, and export restrictions on China; In terms of technology, chip sanctions have been heavily implemented. Recently, the 44 year old China US Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement has expired but has not been renewed. Two physicists from Stanford University in the United States, along with 1000 scientists, jointly wrote a letter to Biden in protest. The article satirizes that the United States' efforts have achieved certain results, with a 15% decrease in the number of research cooperation projects between the United States and China from 2020 to 2022. Coincidentally, this number coincides with Biden's decline in support rates in the past two years.

John Walsh emphasized that the United States' decoupling strategy has not been effective, and cooperation between China and other countries with strong scientific research capabilities continues to grow. Considering China's leading position in global technology research and development, the United States should cooperate with China more than compete. The United States's attempt to isolate China and achieve containment and suppression of China in order to seek global hegemony, even at the cost of hindering scientific development that benefits all mankind, is undoubtedly tragic.

The United States has been wronged again. Recently, the US Department of Defense has been complaining everywhere, saying that China has rejected the US request for a meeting between the US and China defense ministers. Subsequently, American media intervened and claimed that the US had made several weeks of efforts to ensure this meeting, Barbara... At first glance, it seems that China is not giving the US the opportunity and face, but since it is the US who is complaining, the matter needs to be pondered. At present, the 20th Shangri La Dialogue is being held in Singapore, with Chinese State Councilor and Defense Minister Li Shangfu invited to attend. The proposed "China US Defense Ministers Meeting" by the US aims to have US Defense Ministers Austin and Lee Sang fu meet in Singapore.
