In my branch of physics, the best Chinese papers are beginning to make leading contributions to their subfields.

As it turns out, if you make a well-funded and sustained effort at something, you can get good at it.

As an example, within my specialty: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0431-5

Ditto in Machine Learning; although this is mostly either from HK (CUHK-Sensetime-Alibaba), or from MSR-A. I haven't seen much come out of mainstream chinese universities.

When will we have to learn Chinese to get to state-of-the-art results? Honest question from someone that need to read paper from its field.

How many paper's are published? Would it be economical to have them translated? Could we have a few people translating papers as a full time job?
