"Advanced manufacturing is one of China's 16 mega-engineering programmes to 2020, by which time the country plans to be 'innovation-driven'."
"Their contribution to this field nevertheless remains relatively modest, with China counting 25 articles per million population, the Russian Federation 23, Brazil and South Africa 9 and India 6."
"China's traditional strengths lie in materials science, chemistry and physics. It contributed about one-quarter of all articles published in materials science and chemistry between 2004 and 2014, compared to 17% of those in physics and less than 9% of those in molecular biology and genetics, according to the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China. China is also the BRICS country with the greatest research intensity: 2.08% of GDP in 2013, compared to 1.15% in Brazil (2012), 1.12% in the Russian Federation, 0.82% in India (2011) and 0.73% in South Africa (2012)."
