PRELUDE:
FORGOTTEN ALLY? China's unsung role in World War II.
Untold story of China’s devastating eight-year war of resistance against brutal Japanese invasion.
For decades, a major piece of World War II history has gone virtually unwritten. The war began in China, two years before Hitler invaded Poland, and China eventually became the fourth great ally, partner to the United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain. Yet its drama of invasion, resistance, slaughter, and political intrigue remains little known in the West.
Such as horrific events of the Rape of Nanking and the bombing of China’s eastern major cities especially the wartime capital, Chongqing.
Relatively few will remember a historical fact that China was the first country to enter what would become the Second World War, and it was the ally of the United States and the British empire from just after Pearl Harbor in 1941, to the Japanese surrender in 1945.
Chinese suffering during the war is not in dispute. Some 14 million Chinese died and up to 100 million became refugees during the eight years of the conflict with Japan from 1937 to 1945.
Most of eastern China lay in Japanese hands: Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, etc. Many outside observers assumed that China could not hold out, and the most likely scenario was a Japanese victory over China. Nonetheless, China's leader, the Nationalist Chiang Kai-shek, along with his unlikely allies, the Communists, refused to surrender, retreating inland to carry on resistance.
This decision greatly changed the fate of Asia.. If China had surrendered in 1938, Japan would have controlled China for a generation or more. Japan's forces might have turned toward the USSR, Southeast Asia, or even British India and Australia. China held down huge numbers, about 70% of Japanese troops on its territory.
THE SUPER CHINA RISE:
CHINA SET TO LEAD THE WORLD IN SCIENCE
Today, China has emerged as a Rising Power only second to the US in almost every aspect. The Chinese are super-sizing science as to uphold China's plans to become a global scientific powerhouse.
From building the biggest experiments the world has ever seen to rolling out the latest medical advances on a massive scale and pushing the boundaries of exploration from the deepest ocean to outer space - China’s scientific ambitions are immense.
Just a few decades ago the nation barely featured in the world science rankings. Now, in terms of research spending and the number of scientific papers published, it stands only behind the US.
China has experienced the strongest growth in scientific research over the past three decades of any country, according to figures compiled, and the pace shows no sign of slowing.
China's "awe-inspiring" growth meant it was now the second-largest producer of scientific knowledge and was on course to overtake the US by 2020 if it continued on its trajectory.
China far outperformed every other nation, with a 64-fold increase in peer-reviewed scientific papers since 1981, with particular strength in chemistry and materials science.
"China is out on its own, far ahead of the pack". Two main factors are driving Chinese research. First is the government's enormous investment, with funding increases far above the rate of inflation, at all levels of the system from schools to postgraduate research. Second is the organised flow of knowledge from basic science to commercial applications.
Among other things, China will “lead the world” in producing artificially intelligent hardware as theirs tech industry continues to find breakthroughs in this field, according to a Microsoft executive.
Even in the field of Bioscience, data from leading CiteAb suggests that Bioscience research in China is set to overtake the United States by as soon as 2020. The data pulled from CiteAb clearly shows that China is the big winner at the moment. The United States has been the most productive nation in Bioscience research for a long time, but has seen a gradual decrease in output since 2010.
China is also set to become the world's most important center for innovation by 2020, overtaking both the United States and Japan, according to a public opinion survey.
Only recently China launched both the world's first Quantum Satellite and Quantum Computer, and China is still the current holder of the world's fastest super computer..
China by far is already the world's second-largest economy, after establishing itself as the global workshop for manufacturing. Now it wants to move up the value chain by leading in invention as well.
