Researchers from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore have co-authored a paper in Nature Human Behaviour, titled "Indigenization and inclusion in Chinese academia." This study, published on December 23, 2025, dissects the career trajectories of over 3,500 members of China's prestigious Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) spanning more than a century from 1905 to 2023. This paper reveals shifts in China's scientific and academic elite, highlighting a move toward self-reliance amid globalization.

The work shows how China, now the world's second-largest producer of scientific papers, is reshaping its collaborations with foreign powers. For Singapore-based academics and institutions like NTU, this analysis is particularly relevant, offering insights into sustaining partnerships in a changing landscape.
