    China is one of the few countries where scientists don’t have to grovel and beg for funding from an indifferent government, so yeah, not surprised.

      Yeah, and the government focuses on funding actual meaningful research like nuclear fusion. Meanwhile, even funding that comes from the government in capitalist countries often ends up going towards questionable research that the corporate sector lobbies for.
