We had visiting scholars from some of China's best institutions

Which Chinese institutions, studying what subject? And, for that matter, who is "we" here? Is your institution a top destination for overseas visits by Chinese scholars?

I would like to see these claims motivated by statistics from the Nature Publishing Group's journals.

Mentioning Nature (the place of publication of the thread-opening commentary) is worthwhile. It appears that Nature has had some submissions from China recently that have had to be withdrawn because the peer review process was compromised.[1]
