China has gone from having virtually no world-class research universities to domination of global scientific output in just a few decades—but why have traditional university rankings not reflected this transformation?In this episode of the Silk & Steel Podcast, Carl Zha welcomes returning guest Doggie (Han Feizi) to unpack China's extraordinary rise in science, higher education, and technological innovation.With the use of objective research metrics—to include the Nature Index, publication output, and citation data—they explore how China's universities rapidly climb. Many Western ranking systems continue to favour reputation over measurable performance.The conversation expands into China's industrial policy, innovation ecosystem, manufacturing advantages, AI competition, and what these trends mean for future global power balance.In this episode: • Why traditional university rankings may no longer reflect reality • China's explosive growth in scientific research • How Chinese universities climbed to the world's top tier • Manufacturing, engineering, and innovation advantages • The relationship between higher education and economic development • AI, semiconductors, and the next technological race • Why perceptions of China often lag behind the dataWhether you agree or disagree with the conclusions, this episode is packed with statistics, historical context, and an in-depth discussion of one of the biggest geopolitical shifts of the 21st century.What do you think?► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings ⁠⁠here⁠⁠ ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official ⁠⁠UK Column website⁠⁠ ► [Support UK Column] ⁠⁠Please donate⁠⁠ to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please ⁠⁠subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel⁠⁠ for more alternative news and independent newsFollow #UKColumn on:► ⁠⁠X⁠⁠► ⁠⁠Telegram⁠⁠► ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ►⁠⁠ Instagram
