China’s dinosaur scientists have spent much of the past century catching up with their international peers, but now they plan to break new ground in global research with the country’s first expeditions in Central Asia, according to a leading researcher.
“I have witnessed China’s dinosaur research rise from its low ebb to the vibrant state it is in now. We are ready to go global,” said Xu Xing, director of the Institute of Vertebrate Palaeontology and Palaeoanthropology (IVPP) in Beijing.
