#2This is fantastic news. Science will eventually benefit all of mankind even if the benefits are initially felt closer to where they're conducted.
I welcome increased science funding regardless of who is doing it, particularly when we're talking about non-military scientific research.
If this makes the US feel competitive and they increase funding state-side then so much the better. We'd all benefit from that too.

#3I don't really think China is luring too many U.S. scientists... Most of the scientists I know pretty much ignore research out of China, because a large portion of it is just not replicable (and / or lies).

I agree. It's also good to have more diversification of science and technology progress. That way if one country gets an anti-science leader, it makes less of a difference to overall human progress.

A problem not unique to China unfortunately...

#6Great news. It is very important that we have as much competition as possible in science. And China, being a rising power, can force western countries to invest more in technology.

#8Is there a good English translation service for Chinese research?

#9I've been looking into topic modeling lately. It looks like this is the best library for doing that: https://github.com/baidu/Familia
Time to learn Mandarin I guess.

#10China's policy towards political/ideological freedoms and "luring US academics" seems distinctly at odds. Many in academia are ideologically motivated.
