Forbes was citing Robert Cresanti, Undersecretary for Technology at the Department of Commerce, on the dangers of underestimating China's advances in nanotech:
'China is one of the players that is gaining
on us. We are wise to take a look at what they are doing that's been
successful, and see how it might apply to improve our system,' the
newspaper said, citing Robert Cresanti, undersecretary for technology
at the US Department of Commerce.
Cresanti, who is in Beijing to meet with Chinese policymakers, said China's gains were obvious.
'We saw labs today full to the rafters with
scientists and machinery. There has also been a dramatic increase in
the quality and quantity of papers on nanotechnology published by
Chinese scientists,' he said.
