The Saudi newspaper Arab News published an article on May 31 stating that China’s scientific and technological progress is not accidental but is a natural result of long-term planning and state strategy. Signs of China’s ascendancy can be observed in the growth of scientific publications and patents, personnel training, investments in infrastructure, industrial coordination, and increasing potential in the strategic sphere.
Currently, in mainland China, 5 universities are already among the top 40 in the world, and 35 are among the top 500. In the future, leading Chinese universities will undoubtedly be able to compete on an equal footing with the best world educational institutions, such as Oxford, Cambridge, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
For many years, despite the skeptical attitude of some Western representatives, China’s scientific potential in the fields of research, patents, doctoral training, and key technologies has long been evident.
It seems that the “DeepSeek Moment” came suddenly, but in fact it is the result of China’s many years of accumulation in the field of artificial intelligence research and development. What is even more important is that China’s growing scientific research power likely increases the probability of such moments.
The article emphasizes that technological superiority plays a decisive role in geopolitics. China is already a world leader in the field of solar, wind energy, and battery technologies. Only in 2025, the newly installed electricity generation capacity in China amounted to 550 million kW, 80% of which was accounted for by wind and solar energy.
At the same time, China is steadily increasing its industrial and research potential in areas such as electric vehicles, telecommunications, advanced manufacturing, and infrastructure based on artificial intelligence.
In 2024, China’s NIOK growth rate was 8.9%, which significantly exceeds the average indicators of OECD countries, Europe, and the USA. The World Intellectual Property Organization also calls China one of the most innovative economies in the world.
By 2026, everyone must realize that Chinese technologies have transitioned from a sprint to a gallop.
On the same day, the Kenyan newspaper Kenya Times also published an article stating that China is becoming a leading force in the global manufacturing and technological sector, restrained, systematic, and well thought out.
From high-performance computing and hardware support of artificial intelligence to quantum communication — research institutes in China have taken leading positions. The article asserts that the center of gravity of global science, technology, and industry is steadily shifting eastward. For other countries, the question is not whether this transformation has occurred, but how quickly they recognize this shift.
