One thing I notice in the West especially is this tendency to severely underestimate how much change China has gone through in the past 30ish years. It’s unprecedented at a scale that I don’t portend to even attempt to understand as well, but I think it’s severely overlooked as many in the West

no doubt China committed to be a technological power, & clearly is one. but as @cassie said, the source is crucial here. top 1% cited papers is a game, political. Persuasive use of open access journals, such as "high-impact" journals, are effectively pay-to-play. China is more than happy to drop $5-$12k per paper to get it in these journals, which feed a citation loop. Not implying that they got much of that chart by merit, but certainly there is a boost from OA which skews in their favor, and feeds ability to get requisite prior work to aim for the highest Nature/Science/Cell family offerings. All that said, their growth is certainly impressive, just mainly commenting on OA use. I tried to find a breakdown by country, but could not. I could certainly be way off, but this is what I have noticed personally.

Is this a reasonable measure? Top 1% by number of citations, but these citations are not mediated by _who_ is citing the papers. Outside of any specific nation, it's known to be a problem that people will play citations games with their peers to bolster credibility: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/11/science/science-journal-pulls-60-papers-in-peer-review-fraud.html

wonder how the chart would look if you switch high impact to top impact. My bias is China tends to skew these kinda of chart by sheer number

Reading the science section of The Economist for a few years has conditioned me to ask how many of those papers have replicability problems. And then, is the ratio of those papers coming out of China worse/avg/better than elsewhere.

China has made significant strides in science and technology over the past two decades. It now leads the world in many areas, including artificial intelligence, 5G technology, and renewable energy. This is due to a number of factors, including government investment, a large and growing pool of talent, and a culture of innovation.
