The most cited scientific paper of the 21st century wasn’t from MIT, Stanford, or Oxford — but from four Chinese researchers at Microsoft Research Asia. They invented ResNet, the deep learning breakthrough that paved the way for ChatGPT, AlphaGo, and modern AI. By 2030, it’s on track to become the most cited scientific paper of all time — beating all Nobel-winning works since 2000. So next time someone says “China just copies”… Tell them: You’re chatting with a descendant of that paper right now.
