‘China has now overtaken the United States to become the world’s leading technology power, and in the process it has left Europe far behind’ said James Kynge about China’s lead in advanced technology.
He is a senior research fellow for China and the World with the Asia-Pacific Programme at Chatham House.
Speaking at Chatham House on 27 October, Kynge cited China’s lead in 66 of 74 areas of advanced research tracked by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute and its larger output of STEM PhDs than the United States and argued that structural changes in China’s economy means it is now ‘accelerating’ and pulling even farther ahead.
From an event titled ‘Chasing China: How should the UK and EU respond to China’s competitive threat?’
