Foreign media: The number of Chinese scientific papers continues to rise, ranking among the top globally since 2019, but a top Chinese scientist has raised a warning.
He pointed out that current research increasingly relies on large amounts of funding, human resources, and data accumulation, with low efficiency, which instead undermines true innovation capabilities.
He frankly stated that spending tens of millions of yuan to publish in journals such as "Science," "Nature," and "Cell" is not about showcasing innovation itself, but rather the scale of resources controlled. This kind of "1 to 100-style" research that pursues hot topics and expands existing achievements is squeezing the space, culture, and funding needed for original exploration.
