Friendly reminder that China publishes twice as many AI papers as the US[1], and twice as many science and engineering papers as the US.

China leads the world in the most cited papers[2]. The US's share of the top 1% highly cited articles (HCA) has declined significantly since 2016 (1.91 to 1.66%), and the same has doubled in China since 2011 (0.66 to 1.28%)[3].

China also leads the world in the number of generative AI patents[4].
