China leads this race in nearly 37 out of 44 technical fields, according to research conducted in a year by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute think tank.
Research has also shown that these areas include electric batteries, hypersonics, as well as advanced communications and 5G and 6G services.

He also warned that China’s prowess in nuclear-capable hypersonic missiles shouldn’t come as a surprise to US intelligence agencies, because analysis of data over the past five years has revealed that Beijing has produced 48, 49% of high impact research papers in this field.
Interestingly, both America and China, the two largest economic powers in the world, are fighting politically on different lines, and economically as well.
While the race in science and technology occupies the most important role in this hidden struggle.
