Ok, fine, I'll repost what I wrote on the last time this was posted.

"Well, that's a good thing, as conceptually everyone wins with open academic literature. It is suggested that the papers are of similar quality to American works, so I presume the reproducibility crisis is also a consideration."

The article doesn't discuss "open" academic literature, which is free and open for all to read. It simply states that the volume of academic literature produced in China surpassed the US. You and I likely won't be able to access that literature for free.

Separately, I'm aware of the reproducibility issue in modern published studies and would like to learn more. Do you have a good article to share?

Deflections aside, what are the realistic implications of America not being number one in science research output? Apparently, this is a topic that most on HN are not yet ready to contemplate.
