My comments
China’s younger generation of scientists and tech innovators is stepping into the global spotlight, signaling a major shift from merely catching up to pioneering original breakthroughs in fundamental science and cutting-edge technology.
A historic milestone was recently achieved at the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia, where Peking University alumni Wang Hong and Deng Yu were awarded the prestigious Fields Medal. Wang was recognized for her work in harmonic analysis and geometric measure theory, while Deng was honored for his contributions to partial differential equations.
Although their landmark achievements occurred overseas—with Wang holding positions at institutions like MIT, NYU, and IHES, and Deng building on his early reputation as a math prodigy—experts emphasize that their foundational undergraduate training in China laid the critical groundwork for their success, validating the nation’s early-stage talent cultivation.
In the technology sector, young entrepreneurs are equally disruptive. Yang Zhilin, a post-1990s Tsinghua University alumnus, co-founded Moonshot AI and recently unveiled Kimi K3, a 2.8 trillion-parameter open-source large language model that has captured Silicon Valley’s attention. After earning a PhD at Carnegie Mellon University and working at leading US AI firms, Yang returned to China to drive domestic AI innovation.
Similarly, DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng has sparked widespread discussion with his strategic visions on artificial general intelligence (AGI) and domestic tech ecosystems.
Observers note that these individual triumphs represent a broader transformation in China’s scientific landscape. The country is transitioning from leveraging scale advantages to fostering genuine, original innovation, moving its talent pool from followers to frontiers.
Furthermore, this progress is not merely a story of individual genius, but the result of a maturing, comprehensive innovation ecosystem. Experts highlight that long-term investments in high-level universities, fundamental science research, robust infrastructure, and complete industrial chains are providing the broad, systemic support necessary for these breakthroughs.
Ultimately, the rise of figures like Wang, Deng, Yang, and Liang demonstrates that China’s young scientists and innovators are becoming increasingly active, indispensable participants in shaping the future of global technology and academic research.
It’s not just Sino-math whizzes.
A new generation of young Chinese scientists and tech entrepreneurs is surging to the forefront of global innovation, marked by recent high-profile achievements. These include Unitree Robotics CEO Wang Xingxing featuring on the cover of Time magazine, Moonshot AI’s Yang Zhilin disrupting Western tech circles with the Kimi K3 model, and DeepSeek’s Liang Wenfeng offering widely resonant industry insights.
This phenomenon is not a coincidence, but the cumulative result of decades of national progress. The universalization of basic education, expansion of higher education, increased research funding, and robust industrial systems have created fertile ground for talent. Notably, China’s undergraduate education plays a pivotal role in equipping students with solid knowledge structures and independent thinking. This foundation enables them to thrive in the world’s most rigorous academic environments, evolving from mere participants to global trailblazers across fields like mathematics, physics, AI, and advanced manufacturing.
However, sustaining this momentum requires an open, stable, and patient research ecosystem. Basic science demands long-term commitment, freedom to explore, tolerance for failure, and reduced administrative burdens. The success stories of recent Fields Medalists underscore that modern breakthroughs rely on a highly interconnected global knowledge network—often combining a strong Chinese educational foundation with international training and cross-border collaboration.
The article critiques restrictive “small yard, high fence” policies, arguing that politicizing science and curtailing academic exchanges ultimately undermine global innovation efficiency. This is reflected in growing concerns within the US tech community about its own increasingly constrained research environment, which influences decisions like Yang Zhilin’s choice to build his career in China.
Ultimately, future technological leadership will belong to nations that provide stable support, respect creativity, and attract diverse global minds. By effectively answering the historic “Qian Xuesen Question” on cultivating innovative talent, China is demonstrating its capacity to initiate and participate in global knowledge creation with confidence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qian_Xuesen). Moving forward, China aims to work alongside international researchers with an open and inclusive approach, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge to ensure scientific progress benefits all humanity.

- China submerged nearly 2,000 AI servers beneath the ocean near Shanghai
- Seawater now cools Chinese AI servers without traditional industrial chillers operating continuously
- China connected offshore wind farms directly to an underwater artificial intelligence facility
China has begun commercial operations at an underwater data center where sealed server modules operate beneath the ocean using seawater for passive cooling.
The project combines offshore wind generation with subsea computing infrastructure to reduce electricity pressures linked to artificial intelligence expansion worldwide.
This underwater data center sits roughly 35 meters below the ocean surface near Shanghai’s Lingang Special Area and houses nearly 2,000 servers, including GPU clusters from China Telecom and LinkWise.
Stable ocean temperatures aid cooling
Chinese authorities and private engineering company HiCloud Technology jointly developed the $226 million installation.
This 24-megawatt installation processes artificial intelligence workloads, 5G services, and large-scale data annotation operations requiring substantial computing capacity.
