researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China developed all-solid-state batteries that match cutting-edge performance at just 4 per cent of the cost.
Performance of all-solid-state device developed by Chinese researchers akin to that of advanced varieties, findings published in Nature Communications say.
Shouldn't be surprising given that China has a huge and well educated population. China outnumber USA STEM Grads 8 to 1 and project to be 15 to 1 by 2030. China has also overtaken the US both in quantity and quality of research. And of course, China has a huge advantage with the state playing a major role in guiding the type of technology China focuses on instead of leaving it to the markets. So, it should be no surprise that China is already surpassing the west technologically now, and the gap will only keep growing going forward.
I don't think anybody who's been paying attention is, but seems to be a shock for a lot of people in the west who've internalized the narrative that China just steals western tech and makes cheap stuff.
I mean you really do not have to know anything about this technology or even physics at all to understand that they’re working on completely different parts of that technology. How can anyone have reading comprehension skills that bad and still need to die on their little hill?
Nobody said the Chinese are copying everything, but goodie for you for making up an argument that no one is making.
You should read your own articles after you use Google - the largest problem with your inaccurately titled and researched article is that the conclusions of that single, uncorroborated and unconditional headline (it wasn't really a study) is based purely on the number of articles published, not on any actual technology or world content. China is by far the largest publisher of pseudoscientific articles, and there is no regulation on the validity of the data presented in those articles. Chinese researchers admit to pushing out their articles at the expense of quality, and the people tasked with identifying the false data within those scientific articles are overwhelmed by the amount of false articles. The Chinese scientific community turns out. You can read about that here:
