Could monopolise 24 key techs if current trends continue
Think Tank the Australian Strategic Policy Institute has released an update to its Critical Technology Tracker, revealing that China leads the way in 89 percent of the technologies it tracks.It determines a country’s performance based on the amount of high-impact research it generates – as measured by the number of publications its institutions produced in the top ten percent of cited papers in their respective fields.
For the first five years the project covers , the US held the top spot in 60 of 64 technologies, and China led in only three . Today, China leads in 57 out of 64 technologies while the United States picks up the remaining seven. Areas in which the US leads are quantum computing, vaccines and medical countermeasures, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy, small satellites, atomic clocks, genetic engineering, and natural language processing.
While the US and China dominate the tracker, India has made some notable inroads. It ranks among the top five countries in 45 out of 64 critical technologies – an increase from 37 in the previous year – demonstrating its growing influence and capability. The nation has displaced the US as the second-ranked nation in biological manufacturing and distributed ledgers.
