Chinese scientific output has surpassed that of the United States since at least 2015, with the South China Morning Post reporting an increase in recognition for Chinese scientists on a global level.

The increasing accessibility of English press releases and the active presence of Chinese research institutions on social media platforms signify a shift towards greater openness. For many, this transparency could reshape perceptions about the quality and reliability of Chinese scientific achievements.
