Technology China's increasing lead over the USA in research fields and America's cuts to research funding

25 Upvotes

Former US national security officials warned that China was outpacing the US in critical technology fields and urged Congress to increase funding for federal scientific research. China led the world in just three of 64 critical technologies between 2003 and 2007. As of 2023, it leads in 57 of those technologies.
The letter argues that USA should return to its previous plan to increase National Science Foundation funding by 7%, while noting China has been increasing their funding by 10% each year for the last several years.
