News on China's scientific and technological development.

These people are retarded. Where is Ukraine getting its drone fiber optics? China.
Russia at least has its own fiber optics plants unlike Ukraine. So it does not need to be all imported.

If they continue bitching and moaning China may very well pull a rare earth with the fiber optics.

so I had just no idea how many of these funds that China has but apparently a lot. they even have one just for industrial machine tool, which recently gave a 1B RMB funding to Beijing Jingdiao

Their machines are extremely popular in the mold industry and precision job shops. As far as I know, they are the most vertically integrated machine manufacturer, they produce key components in-house (spindles, rotary tables, CNC controllers, and CAD/CAM software).

At least in Asia, they are quite popular. Not sure about what they produce in house, but in this case, since they are not publicly listed, they need outside funding like this

Another one goes back to China. It's a story of "shooting yourself in the foot".

CEO of Pfizer: China filed more patents in biotech and pharmaceuticals than the U.S. in 2025 for the first time ever. At this rate, China will turn the tables of biotech just like what they did to the auto industry soon.

"They [China] filed more patents this year than the U.S.," Bourla said. "That's never happened in history. Five years ago, the split was 90%-10%. ... The gap is closing, but they probably will become [better than us] unless we get our act together."

A quantitative study on how export controls increase R&D spending, innovation, etc, in targeted sectors using the 2007 military rules as an example.

We study the ‘China Military Catch-All Rule’, implemented in 2007 by the US Bureau of Industry and Security, which tightened export rules for certain dual-use items to China. When first proposed, the policy covered 77 HS six-digit categories; after an inter-agency review, 18 were removed. We exploit this change to estimate the policy’s causal effects on imports and innovation. Our baseline difference-in-differences strategy compares firms that imported controlled items before 2007 with firms that imported only the excluded items, which serve as our control group. We corroborate our results with propensity-score matching and synthetic difference-in-differences. To trace both trade and innovation responses, we link transaction-level Chinese customs data, firm surveys, value-added tax (VAT) invoice data on interfirm linkages within China, and the universe of Chinese patent applications.

Posting this here, since I find the idea of an all CFRP rocket body to be just as relevant in material science as space. They apparently use some special resin that is cryogenic resistant, liquid O2-compatible mixed together with your carbon fiber to be usable for in space environment and with the Liquid O2/methane fuel. It also uses advanced continuous fiber 3D Printing for key parts in the rocket. Again, 3D Printing specialized parts in rocket engines is really taking off. In fact, advanced material science + 3d Printing seem to be the catch phrase for rocket launchers and aerospace engines in China these days.
