SINCE the Soviet Union's yesterday is Communist China's today, the scientific work of China has had to be reoriented to follow the Soviet J pattern. The highest scientific organization in China, the Academia Sinica, established by the Nationalists in 1928, has been reorganized and moved from Nanking to Peking. Marxist litterateur Mo-ju Kuo was appointed its president. He is assisted by six vice-presidents, three of whom are leading natural scientists who were educated abroad: Ssu-kwang, or J. S., Lee (geologist, Ph.D., University of Birmingham); Co-ching Chu (meteorologist, Ph.D., Harvard University); and Yu-hsun Wu (physicist, Ph.D., University of Chicago). The other three vice-presidents are Meng-ho Tao, a social scientist, Chin-fu Chang, a Communist party member, and Po-ta Cheng, wartime private secretary to Mao Tse-tung. In June, 1955, the Academy grouped its more than fifty research institutes into four divisions: (1) humanities and social sciences, including philosophy, history, and economics; (2) pure sciences, including mathematics, physics, and chemistry; (3) earth sciences, including biology, geology, and geography; and (4) the applied sciences and engineering.
