Sociologists at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting have reported that China is making major investments in nanotechnology. Their aim is to ‘leapfrog’ past the United States in technological development by focusing on long-ranging scientific goals. So far, the Chinese government has poured about $400 million into the young field of research. Considering the low cost of equipment and labor over there, that is a very large sum of money, and China’s investment is expected to ‘rise considerably.’
 
 

美研究人员称中国纳米技术迅速发展 将超越美国

据美国媒体2月18日报道，美国加利福尼亚大学圣巴巴拉研究所的研究人员近日发出一则消息说“中国在纳米技术上投入了大量的资金，目标是要在科技发展上超越美国，但是这些努力能否取得回报还不清楚。”

还报道还说，到目前为止，在中国的相关纳米技术研究项目中，政府投资并不是主要的资金来源，从2002至2007年，中国政府只投入了大约4亿美元，未来的投资额预计会有所上升。
