China breaks into top 25 of world innovators, UN study says

Quote

China has broken into the world's top 25 innovative economies for the first time, thanks to investments in education and research and development that have translated into new patents and licenses, a study said on Monday.
The world's second-largest economy is catching up to traditional innovation front-runners, who were led again this year by Switzerland, Sweden, Britain and the United States, said the annual report by the U.N.'s World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), INSEAD Business School and Cornell University.
More than 100 countries are ranked according to 82 indicators of innovation, which is critical to driving growth in a competitive globalised world, said "The Global Innovation Index 2016". China's move up from 29th last year marks the first time a middle-income country has joined the top 25.
"Let me point to the performance of China, in coming in at number 25 in the rankings, is now joining the upper income group of countries that have traditionally dominated the top slots in the global innovation index," the WIPO director-general, Francis Gurry, told a news conference.
"That of course is in keeping with all of the developments that we have seen in China in recent years, including the current enormous emphasis on innovation as a major component in the transition of the Chinese economy from 'Made in China' to 'Created in China'," he said.
China's innovation indicators show "consistent steady improvement", Gurry said, adding: "And there's no reason to think that that will not continue."
Other emerging economies are climbing the list of efficient innovators, including India, which jumped to 66th place from 81st.
"China breaking into the top 25 is just a harbinger of more to come. The significant progress made by India, plus 15 places, is indeed a sign that we are going see more from emerging countries in the field of innovation years to come, and that's part of globalisation," said Bruno Lanvin, INSEAD's executive director for global indices.

Investment into infrastructure, science, r&d and education is the most important thing to do if you wish for your country to be a respectable first world power. If we elect loserterians America will go from near the top to fucking trash.

 

[Mr. H.]

You do realize how they are accomplishing this?

Fossil fuels, including coal-fired power plants.

You're such a contrarian bitch.

 

[Mr. H.]

Yes, America is on it's way to "fucking trash" thanks to the trashing of hydrocarbons and fossil fuels by Obama, the EPA, and the Socialist-Communist-Eco Nazi complex.

Fuck you.

I read this three times over. It doesn't say shit about shit.

Just as Matthew has never said shit about shit around here.

Take your clown show elsewhere, bitch.

China Still the Biggest Investor in Renewable Energy

China has retained its position as the world’s biggest investor in renewable energy for the second consecutive year after ousting the US from the top spot in 2012.

A new report from Pew Charitable Trusts indicates that China was the world’s biggest investor in renewable energy in 2013, spending $54 billion on clean power sources in total.

According to the annual Pew report entitled Who’s Winning the Clean Energy Race?, the US came in second with respect to clean energy investment last year, spending a total of $36.7 billion.

Other leading national investors in renewable energy in 2013 included Japan, rising from fifth to third place with spending of $28.6 billion, and the United Kingdom, which rose to fourth place from seventh place with spending of $12.4 billion.

Despite its modest population size, Australia managed to scrape into 10th place with clean energy investment of $4.4 million last year – a figure essentially unchanged from 2012, when its was ranked 13th.

China currently accounts for 29 per cent of G-20 investment in clean energy, with Phyllis Cuttino, director of Pew’s clean energy program, noting that “no other clean energy market in the world is operating at that scale.”

China Still the Biggest Investor in Renewable Energy

China is still increasing their investment in renewables every year.
