Many Nobel prize winners have been Chinese, only one was a citizen of the PRC when they did the work/received the award. China's problem isn't it's people, but it's crazily dysfunctional government that wastes it's tremendous human capital.

It is supposed to inform you of the achievement of the Chinese people, and not to conflate them with the Chinese government.
