China's Science Revolution
Science is the driving force that’s changed society the most in the last few centuries. Many of these advances have come from pure science research, done simply in the pursuit of knowledge, without applications in mind. Today, China produces more scientists than any other country. And many of them are leading their fields; pushing advances in food production, robotics, radio astronomy, high energy physics, deep sea research, quantum computing, and cosmology. Their work is not only shaping the future of China, but the future for all of us.
