    Looking at Nature Index’s lists of top institutions, Chinese institutions hold:

    • 2022: 4 of top 10 [#1, 8, 9, 10]
    • 2023: 6 of top 10 [#1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10]
    • 2024: 7 of top 10 [#1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10]
    • 2025: 8 of top 10 [#1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10]

    It’s a pretty clear, rapid rise in China becoming the main contributor to their database, and given the US political situation and academics famously being poached by China and Europe, I don’t think Harvard will retain that #2 position for even another year.
