They're out publishing[1] and out spending everyone else[2], I asked Jack Clack from OpenAI that question a few years ago and he said he didn't really know exactly how far ahead they are, just that more people and more money is being applied in a more organized fashion.
When people bring up scientific advances in China, I am always skeptical.
What percent of Chinese publishing is not fraudulent?
Look at the scale of Fraud across China,
including in Academia:
"The online publication Quartz reported in 2017 that more than 50 percent of all articles retracted by scientific journals worldwide for fake peer reviews were submitted by Chinese authors. ... 55% - The percentage of articles submitted by Chinese authors that were retracted by scientific journals worldwide for fake peer reviews"
"It usually involves authors posing as their own peer reviewers and submitting made-up contact information for the supposed reviewer – a scam that publishers exposed by tracking the email addresses of author and reviewer to the same IP address. This type of fraud is on the rise and more often than not involves Chinese authors.
"In 2015, for instance, Britain-based publisher BioMed Central retracted 43 articles, including 41 from China.
"Later in the same year, Germany’s Springer retracted 64 papers, nearly all from Chinese scholars,
"while the Dutch publishing company Elsevier retracted nine medical science articles written by Chinese researchers.
"In what is said to be the largest single-incident retraction of journal publications in history, Springer Nature in 2017 retracted 107 articles in Tumor Biology published between 2012 and 2016, all of them authored by Chinese scholars from universities in Shanghai." [1]
