So what proves that China has now become the world's foremost scientific power?

LINGUISTICS: A red moon rising can have multiple meanings, depending on the phenomenon that causes it:

• Total lunar eclipse: Also known as a "blood moon", this happens when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, blocking sunlight and casting a shadow on the moon. As sunlight filters through Earth's atmosphere, it can color the moon red or ruddy brown.
• Moon near the horizon: When the moon is closer to the horizon, the light it reflects to Earth passes through a thicker layer of atmosphere. This scatters shorter wavelengths of light, while longer wavelengths, like red, are allowed to reach our eyes, making the moon appear red.
• Dust, smoke, or haze: The moon can also appear red if there is dust, smoke, or haze in the sky

So what proves that China has now become the world's foremost scientific power?

Firstly, China has now overtaken both the US and entire EU in number of high-impact scientific papers produced each year, including in the Nature Index which is virtually impossible to game.
