Why are all China's scientific papers in English?

I'll give you some reasonable reasons (written by others):

1. From today's language status, English still occupies a dominant position in the world, and it is a language that can communicate with scientists from many countries, thus creating an environment that the scientific community calls "science without borders";

2. From the perspective of language effect, English is much more rigorous than Chinese logic, and science needs rigorous logic, but Chinese can't compare with English in these two aspects. As we all know, Chinese is internationally recognized as the most difficult language to learn. For foreigners and even China people, the expression of Chinese meaning needs context. Without context, a sentence will have many meanings, so it is more advantageous for many scientists to write papers in English.

3. Judging from Chinese expression habits and tendencies, China people like the beauty of literature, while China people tend to play word games and modify sentences when writing articles. Although they make sentences beautiful, to some extent, they weaken the meaning and make sentences complicated, which is not conducive to other people reading papers to obtain information quickly. But English papers will use many simple sentences, generally no more than two clauses, which is the habit of English writing. Many teachers who teach English writing generally ask students to practice simple sentences well. Students with poor grammar foundation should try to use simple sentences to avoid ambiguity caused by wrong clauses, so that it will be easier for scientists in China to write in English (of course, this is for people with good English ability).
