‘Dependency’ of UK universities on China creates risks, report says
The report, led by former universities minister Jo Johnson, is the first comprehensive assessment of Sino-British research collaboration, counting the number of papers co-authored by academics in both countries. The number of academic papers co-authored by Chinese and British researchers rose from 750 per year in 2000 (1% of UK output) to 16,267 in 2019 (11% of UK output).
At least 20 subjects, including many in science and technology, collaborations with China now account for more than a fifth of high-impact research. In the highly sensitive areas of automation, telecommunications and materials science, more than 30 per cent of papers were Sino-British partnerships.
