Tangentially, does anyone know why so many of the (enormous amount of) papers accepted at this San Diego conference is from Chinese researchers? (https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss2026/accepted-papers)

Has China become so prominent in security research?

China has surpassed the USA in almost every metric except freedom (so far). They already do, or are close to doing, the most and best research in every field, producing the best and cheapest of every product category, and providing the best living standards for their Han Chinese citizens. Europe has a huge amount of catching up to do, and the US is basically a lost cause.
