Will the contest between China and the USA come down to who has the best and brightest people?
Of course, it is. How could thieves be able to innovate continuously to build better and better systems year in and year out? Indeed, the best and brightest scientists, engineers and business professionals have been the main driving forces in the
economic and technological development and modernization progresses all over the world.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) was established on November 1, 1949, in Beijing, China.
Introduction----Chinese Academy of Sciences
The Chinese Academy of Sciences is the linchpin of China ’ s drive to explore and harness high technology and the natural sciences for the benefit of China and the world. Comprising a comprehensive research and development network, a merit-based
learned society and a system of higher education, CAS brings together scientists and engineers from China and around the world to address both theoretical and applied problems using world-class scientific and management approaches. Since its founding,
CAS has fulfilled multiple roles — as a national team and a locomotive driving national technological innovation, a pioneer in supporting nationwide S&T development, a think tank delivering S&T advice and a community for training young S&T talent. Now,
as it responds to a nationwide call to put innovation at the heart of China ’ s development, CAS has further defined its development strategy by emphasizing greater reliance on democratic management, openness and talent in the promotion of innovative
research. With the adoption of its Innovation 2020 programme in 2011, the academy has committed to delivering breakthrough science and technology, higher caliber talent and superior scientific advice. As part of the programme, CAS has also requested that
each of its institutes define its “ strategic niche ” — based on an overall analysis of the scientific progress and trends in their own fields both in China and abroad — in order to deploy resources more efficiently and innovate more collectively.
As it builds on its proud record, CAS aims for a bright future as one of the world ’ s top S&T research and development organizations. History of achievement CAS was established on November 1, 1949, in Beijing, where it is headquartered. It was formed
from several existing scientific institutes and soon welcomed over 200 returning scientists who contributed to CAS the high-level expertise they had acquired abroad. Since its early years, CAS has been key to China ’ s S&T planning. In 1956, the
central government asked CAS to oversee preparation of the country ’ s first 12-year national programme for S&T development, which propelled China ’ s drive for modernization of science and technology. Since then, it has participated in the
preparation of all national S&T development plans, serving as a national think tank. With the launch of China ’ s reform and opening-up programme in the late 1970s, CAS assumed a key role in reforming the country ’ s S&T efforts by encouraging
academic openness, scientific collaboration, a multidisciplinary approach and the intensive cultivation of talent. CAS proposals have resulted in the launch of a number of key national scientific programmes including the “ 863 Program ” in 1986,
which has propelled China ’ s overall high-tech development, and the “ 973 Program ” , or National Basic Research Program, in 1997, which called for the development of science and technology in various fields. Its goal was to align basic scientific
research and inno

CAS does have had 82 Foreign Members not just the Chinese. There is also the Chinese Academy of Engineering established in 1994, as a national and independent organization composed of elected members with the highest honor in the community of engineering
and technological sciences of the nation.
In fact, there are many research and development centers, institutions, universities and colleges in China as well. China can’t roll out better and better hardware and software systems without the selfless contribution of the best and brightest
professionals.

Loongson's IPO may lift home chipmakers
By MA SI | China Daily | Updated: 2021-07-01 08:09 Visitors gather at chipmaker Loongson's booth during an expo in Nanjing, Jiangsu province. [Photo by Wang Luxian/For China Daily] Chinese chipmaker Loongson Technology is banking on its upcoming IPO in
Shanghai to beef up its research and production of advanced semiconductor technologies. Loongson's plans dovetail with Chinese technology companies' efforts to strengthen the security of supply chains and achieve self-sufficiency in crucial technologies.
Beijing-based Loongson's IPO is expected to be made on the STAR Market, or the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, with up to 41 million shares likely to be up for sale, potentially netting 3.5 billion yuan ($542
million). Loongson's journey as a business started in 2001 with a research team under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2010, it was spun off as a separate entity to commercialize its chip development research. The firm was behind China's first self-
developed general purpose microprocessor. It also created the architecture for central processing units, or CPUs. Xiang Ligang, director-general of the Information Consumption Alliance, a telecom industry association, said Loongson chips have been used
in China's space program, finance, energy and other fields so far. Its products can be also found in desktop computers, notebooks, servers, network security equipment and industrial control computers. "The IPO will help Loongson accelerate its commercial
application, and facilitate it to leverage the capital market for rapid growth," Xiang said. Loongson said in its prospectus that it plans to spend a third, or 1.25 billion yuan, of its anticipated IPO proceeds on research and production of advanced
semiconductor technologies. About 1.05 billion yuan will be used for research and development of graphic processing units, or GPUs, which can crunch large amounts of data rapidly and support artificial intelligence, machine learning and blockchain
technologies. The rest of the proceeds, expected to be around 1.2 billion yuan, might be used as liquid capital. Hu Weiwu, president of Loongson, said earlier that Chinese chips are making steady progress, and more efforts are needed to develop a
computing ecosystem, including software, to support their wider use. "The wider their use, the better they will become. It will take time, but we are confident about the process," Hu said. Loongson's 2020 revenue hit 1.08 billion yuan, a fivefold
increase from 193 million yuan in 2018. Higher expenses on research and development ate into its bottom line, slashing last year's profit by 62 percent to 72.23 million yuan. Revenue grew rapidly as Chinese companies have been more willing in recent
times than in the past to use homegrown chips, such as the ones made by Loongson, amid concerns that heavy reliance on foreign semiconductors may not be desirable for the country's electronics industry. Sales revenue of

Chinese company releases self-developed MMW chips; will boost 5G
Millimeter wave phased array antenna. Photo: Courtesy of Xphased China's self-developed millimeter wave (MMW) phased array chip will be put into mass production in February with low-cost silicon technology, the chip's research team said. An industry
expert said that its low cost will greatly boost popularization of 5G in China and beyond. Industry experts believe that the technology breakthrough that enables mass production of the 5G MMW phased array chip will effectively launch the product into the
global market at a reasonable price and with a better performance. The chip, unveiled to the public on Sunday, was jointly developed by Chengdu Xphased Technology Co (Xphased), Purple Mountain Laboratories, and a research team from Southeast University
in Nanjing, East China's Jiangsu Province. Zhang Chengjun, general manager of Xphased, told the Global Times on Tuesday that the company has significantly reduced its production cost and made commercialization possible, and mass production of the MMW
chips is expected to start on February 1. "In the past, MMW chips in III-V compound semiconductors were priced at several hundred or even thousands of yuan. Given these high prices, it is basically impossible to commercialize chips," Zhang said. "The new
chip has a much lower price compared with the same kind of chips in the global market, but the quality of the new chip is at world-class levels," he said. The innovation project involving the MMW chip was initiated in March 2016. After some years of
research and development, small-scale trial production began last October, and 50,000 chips were made. Xphased has already received orders from companies worldwide, including some in France, and it is discussing with companies in the US about future
deals regarding phased-array chips and antennas, Zhang said. The launch of the chip is a late-stage advantage for China's 5G development, Zhao Dixian, a professor at Southeast University, told the Global Times. "Currently, China is using centimeter-wave
frequencies bands for telecommunications. MMW frequencies provide much more bandwidth for mobile communication, and therefore provide faster communication speeds," Zhao said, adding that if a centimeter wave is a single lane, the MMW involves multiple
lanes. However, some believed that although it is an important step toward 5G development, challenges remain. "The mass production of MMW chips is surely an indispensable part of the popularization of 5G in China, but it's not all," Xiang Ligang, a
veteran industry analyst told the Global Times on Tuesday. "To achieve 5G popularization, other elements such as coding, core networks and software management also need to take place," he said, adding that it will still take some time before the
popularization of 5G.

China’s historic rise in science and tech stirs criticism
In the past decade, China has emerged as a powerhouse of science and technology, a result of deliberate central planning and heavy spending. But with that growth have come mounting complaints about the Chinese approach to sharing data, protecting
intellectual property and, in some cases, conducting research ethically.

China has made historic achievements that have satisfied the people and impressed the world as the leadership has maintained strategic focus, made accurate judgment on situations, made well-planned deployment, took decisive actions and made arduous
efforts.
The country was among the first to contain the virus, resume work and production and resume positive growth. It has become the only major economy in the world that has secured positive growth this year.
China’s GDP is expected to exceed 100 trillion yuan ($15.31 trillion) in 2020, and its share of the global total will rise from last year’s 16.3 percent to about 17.5 percent.
Scientific decision-making and creativity are the fundamental ways to transforming crises into opportunities, while scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening provide primary support for development.
Those who recognize the trend are wise and those who ride the trend will win. China’s economy is expected to continue to play a leading role in driving global economic recovery in 2021. To build the new development paradigm, China must establish a high-
level socialist market economic system, pursue a high-level opening-up, and make reforms and opening-up reinforce each other.
As China enters a new stage of development, pursues the vision of innovative, coordinated, green, open and inclusive development, and builds the new development pattern, it will surely maintain steady economic growth along the right course of high-
quality development.
While making new and greater miracles, China will work with other countries to write a new chapter and usher in a bright future.

She rose to number 2 in the world. She will be number 1 very soon. I predict it will grow up and on for many years ahead .
Unless USA does something silly and dangerous.
1.4 billion Chinese from China will be around for years to come unless Covid kills everyone in the world. Millions of Overseas Chinese will be around too including 3 million Chinese HK refugees in London. These will be consumers of Chinese foods and
products . Overt 100 countries on the Belt and Road and Maritime Silk routes will also be doing business with China.
