I wouldn't be surprised to see India spending more on R&D than us. Our officials are more interested in buying real estate in the US and buying American bonds.

China set to surpass U.S. in R&D spending in 10 years - Computerworld

2. High-energy synchrotron test facility

Ding and others’ longer-term dream for Huairou is to collocate an array of facilities there. The Beijing Advanced Science and Innovation Center, or BASIC, would bring together SECUF, the future Beijing synchrotron light source, the Earth simulation computing facility, and perhaps other infrastructures. Huairou is also near the new site of the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which would give BASIC researchers access to students and students access to the center’s facilities. issues and events。

Wonderful news, but we still need more investment in our Gas Turbine technology for Naval Construction and more funds and research equipment allocated for PRC's indigenous Jet engine.

That comes under the 17th project。

The total of 16 has been raised to 18.

English translations of matters concerning China's efforts and achievements in science and technology are far and few between。

 

[Kolaps]

Those are home grown projects and we are trying every year to lift our 150 million folks who are living in abject poverty out of their difficult conditions

Actually that is a good news.

Many of the problems in China, actually can be solved with technology. It's a matter of mentality to choose to solve a problem with technology over the others. By innovation!

Are you taking about Taiwan?

You guys spend money to purchase the radar for USA's hostile action against Mainland China.

There's no other choice, until mainland China stop worshiping foreign communism and return to our root.

We always proud and glad to see China have a strong military power, just like in our past. But not in the hand of communist to attack fellow Chinese. China in Taiwan need to defend himself from the communist.

 

[cirr]

Only about US $3 billion??

Why china is spending so low on science and technology for next five years ?????????

India is spending US$ 24 billion on Science and Technology

India is spending 8 times bigger amount US$ 24 billion against china's US$ 3 billion

India prepares to boost science : Nature News & Comment

India commits to boosting science - Five year spending plan backs massive investment in research and scientific facilities.

These are only “infrastructure investments” in the 16 projects listed。

India's TOTAL spending on science and technology does not even come close to China's。

My recollection tells me that China spent over 200 billion dollars in S&T in 2012 alone。

1. supercomputers and our home made cpu

You make a home made cpu, but there's no operating system and software running on it. Isn't wasting a lot of money?

You also don't commercialized and make use widely in private sector.

We don't want to worship foreign democracy like you do.

 

[muse]

Like Taiwan....

I feel mainland China research projects are following the trend in the West (to help Westerners), rather than for helping the local people to improve their living standard.

Please elaborate - what projects, in your opinion should the funds be spent on -- how are local living standards different from those of other peoples - I think it's important for our readers to become more aware of the point you have raised.

CPC will eventually liberate Taiwan from the control of the Freemason, all KMT and DPP dogs will be perished into the history, just watch.

The KMT sucks up to Americans and Japanese like a slave, and actively works against the interest of Chinese civilization. Until you stop being a pawn in American hands, nobody will listen to the lies you tell. You gave up Mongolia and tried to blame it on the Communists. Your founder Sun Cannon attempted to trade Chinese interest in Manchuria for Japanese help. You lost vast majority of engagements to Japanese, and didn't even have the guts to declare war when they invaded in 1937. You waited until Americans declared war in 1941. Only you brag about how "heroics" your losses are. Other people measure their success on how many enemies they killed, not how many your own men got killed.

Return to our roots? You mean let four families control most of the wealth and power, having less than 20% literacy rate, foreigners acting with impunity on our soil and 40 years of average lifespan during the good o' days you were in power? Did I mention your brave army looted in China for weeks when you retreated to Taiwan?

Take your party of cowards/traitors and jump off the sea.

In mathematics our mathematicians are capable of doing this:

Unraveling toughest puzzle outstanding

Chinese mathematicians, Zhu Xiping and Cao Huaidong

BEIJING, June 4 (Xinhua) -- A leading Chinese mathematician Yang Le said here Sunday that the successful unraveling of one of the world's toughest puzzles is an outstanding job.

Two Chinese mathematicians, Zhu Xiping and Cao Huaidong, have put the final pieces together in the solution to the puzzle that has perplexed scientists around the globe for more than a century.

The two scientists have published a paper in the latest U.S.-based Asian Journal of Mathematics , providing complete proof of the Poincare Conjecture promulgated by French mathematician Henri Poincare in 1904.

A Columbia professor Richard Hamilton and a Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman have laid foundation on the latest endeavors made by the two Chinese. Prof. Hamilton completed the majority of the program and the geometrization conjecture.

Yang, member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in an interview with Xinhua, "All the American, Russian and Chinese mathematicians have made indispensable contribution to the complete proof."

Prof. Zhu at Guangzhou-based Zhongshan University and Prof. Cao at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania co-authored the 300-page paper, "The Hamilton-Perelman Thoery of Ricci Flow-The Poincare and Geometization Conjecture," which was published in the June issue of the journal.

"The total length of Perelman's work on the conjecture by the end of 2002 was about 70 pages," said Yang, citing that Perelman raised guidelines for proving the conjecture but not specifically pointed out how to unravel the puzzle.

"Guidelines are totally different to complete proof of theories," Yang said.

Xinhua correspondents contacted Prof. Cao for many times and finally got a telephone interview. Prof. Cao said, "Under the guidance of Prof. (Shing-Tung) Yau -- a Harvard mathematics professor, Xiping and I worked for the conjecture in more than two years."

"The latest find will be good for our future work," Prof. Cao said.

Harvard mathematics professor Shing-Tung Yau, winner of the Fields Prize, said the excellent job done by Zhu and Cao was the final strike on a global collaborative work for a complete proof.

Prof. Yau, co-editor-in-chief of the Asian Journal of Mathematics, said, "All the 31 members of our editorial board are meticulously critical, and we must have consensus on any articles which will appear in our publication."

Zhu and Cao were invited last September by the Harvard Mathematics Department to conduct academic exchange at Harvard. In the following half year, they spent three hours every week to explain their work to five Harvard mathematicians.

Yau rated the conjecture as one of the major mathematical puzzles of the 20th Century.

"The conjecture is that if in a closed three-dimensional space, any closed curves can shrink to a point continuously, this space can be deformed to a sphere," he said.

By the end of the 1970s, U.S. mathematician William P. Thurston had produced partial proof of Poincare's Conjecture on geometric structure, and was awarded the Fields Prize for the achievement.

"The findings would help scientists to further understand three-manifolds geometrization and heavily influence the development of physics and engineering," said Yau, who will himself explain the methodology of proving the Poincare Conjecture to the 2006 International Conference on String Theory, which is expected in late June in Beijing.

and later when the Fields Medal awards 2006 were reported in the media just a couple of months later, this happenedl:

Highest Honor in Mathematics Is Refused

August 22, 2006

Grigory Perelman, a reclusive Russian mathematician who solved a key piece in a century-old puzzle known as the Poincaré conjecture, was one of four mathematicians awarded the Fields Medal today. But Dr. Perelman refused to accept the medal, as he has other honors, and he did not attend the ceremonies at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid.

Is Perleman that reclusive or something else was in his mind?

Does the Fields Medal judging committee owe our Mathematicians anything?

The demand for Energy, is going to be a problem and a strategic vulnerability for China - So, I hope for the sake of China and really for the world, that China will invest in creating a FUEL or ENERGY SOURCE, that will allow abundant and cheap energy for the world,

Failure to do this leaves China and much of the world open to blackmail and predatory behavior of those who will use energy as a weapon
