A researcher prepares medicine at a laboratory in Nanjing University in Nanjing, Jiangsu province in this April 29, 2011 file photo. China has increased its spending on science at a blistering rate and now publishes the second most scientific papers in the world after the United States. But China's scientific progress is no sure thing.
