Relax man, they have already achieved 2012 target....All thanks to their dead president which many PDFers here use as their avatar....You can see such hype is from the head of the state down to the grassroots.
China leads in economy output, industries output, space technology, aviation, maritime and energy(Windmill. Solar, nuclear) production, design. These are sometimes fanboy india refused to such blind truth.
Many of those benchmarks are silly.....Exactly. We still have a hell lot of way to take until reaching the top ten status.
That's the reason China's leadership stresses almost habitually that China is a developing nation with enormous task of national rejuvenation. It has nowhere to be completed.
In its aggregate power, to the outsider, China appears to be strong, and it is, but, for individual persons living the China reality in China, the country is a developing one with poverty not entirely eliminated.
The greatest danger is complacence and China's leadership keeps reminding that.
(From last year, China progressed 4 ranks in innovation, but definitely not enough. I guess, by 2020, we will be in the top 15, if not top 10. The trick is in the successful implementation of 13th 5-Year Plan).

China among top 25 most innovative economies
Xinhua, August 16, 2016
China is the first middle-income country to join the ranks of the world's top 25 innovative economies, a joint report by Cornell University, INSEAD and the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) revealed Monday.
Ranked 25th in 2016, up from 29th a year ago, this year's Global Innovation Index (GII) ranking mirrors China's improved performance in this domain, WIPO Director General Francis Gurry explained.
"This is in keeping with all the developments that we have seen in China in recent years, including the use of innovation as a major component in the transition of the Chinese economy from 'made in China' to 'created in China'," he said.
Findings also outline that a wide gap continues to permeate the innovation divide between developed and developing countries across the world.
According to the report, slower growth in emerging economies after the 2009 financial crisis, combined with more stringent research and development (R&D) budgets in high-income countries remains a source of concern.
"Innovation is a very fundamental phenomenon which is responsible for a large number of social and economic benefits," Gurry highlighted.
"In the current environment, innovation assumes particular significance because of its potential to open up new avenues of economic growth... the connection between innovation and economic growth has now been a matter of standard economic theory for decades," he added.
Traditionally dominated by highly-developed countries, this year the ranking sees Switzerland, Sweden and Britain as the top three most innovative economies in the world, with 15 of the top 25 economies in the GII located in Europe.
According to this year's figures, four countries stand out in terms of "innovation quality", namely Japan, the United States, Britain and Germany.
This top-level metric looks at the calibre of universities, the number of scientific publications and international patent filings.
When looking at this indicator, 2016 has seen China move up to 17th place globally and first amongst middle-income countries, ahead of India and Brazil.
Historically speaking, this, together with China's widespread innovation ascendency, should come as no surprise, Gurry said.
"Until 1800, China was preeminent in science and technology... this is a renaissance rather than a naissance," he stressed.
According to experts, China's innovation outlook has witnessed systemic improvements in all areas since the GII came into being in 2007.
This holds particularly true in terms of the number of patents and licenses issued and the marked increase in innovation quality.
The GII is a leading benchmark based on 82 indicators used by business executives, policy makers and others who wish to gain a holistic insight into the state of innovation across the world.

If the CAP 1400 design belongs to Westinghouse, how can China export the nuclear plant on her own?I am usually right.
You know what, I have world nuclear news on my bookmarks.
And I repeat, Japan is still more advanced in nuclear industry. China is just beginning to catch up. Though I believe there is good future for Chinese nuclear industry.
And the article you pointed to was related to a third generation nuclear plant's design evaluation. Japan owns Westinghouse, the company which owns all the IP of AP 1000, and designed it. China is right now producing AP 1000 and its variants. While China has indigenized a lot of components, a lot of them still come from Japan.
Also, CAP 1400 is yet to begin even construction.
So yes, Japan is ahead of China in nuclear industry.
Exactly. We still have a hell lot of way to take until reaching the top ten status.
