Why the sudden wave of retaliations and escalations from Beijing? The answer lies in the eight editorials published in the People’s Daily over the past few days. Written under the pen name 钟才文, these pieces are widely understood to represent the views of the Office of the

Great paper. China’s industrial policy was most effective when decentralized. Since 2013, centralization rewarded compliance over innovation. Furthers my view that for some sectors, Beijing’s “anti-involution” drive is cleaning up distortions caused by its top-down guidance.

There were 2507 highly cited researchers from the US (36.4%) & 1405 from China (20.4%) in 2024. Compared to 2018,CHN share has 2x,while the US share has declined. Tracking elite human capital may be a better proxy for predicting long-term trajectories. clarivate.com/highly-cited-r…
