Interesting discussion, Speccie diary editor James Heale with Bryan Appleyard and CindyYu. I don’t know Bryan, but I do know Cindy Whois very well versed on China. 

I’d add to Bryan’s comment that China “only embraced science early in the 20th century” that it has a long and famous history of science, at least in dynasties of yore, as Joseph Needham documented in his magisterial “Science and Civilisation of China”. 

Bryan notes China’s accomplishments in the pure sciences like astronomy.
