China continues to show the most dramatic growth pattern. The World Bank revised China's PPP exchange rate in late 2007, significantly lowering the dollar value of its R&D expenditures. Nonetheless, the pace of real annual growth over the past 10 years in China remains exceptionally high at just above 19%.

Among other top 10 R&D-performing countries, total R&D/GDP ratios over the past 10 years show mixed trends (figure 4-16 ). Compared with 1996 R&D/GDP ratios, 2007 (or 2006) ratios were substantially higher in Japan, China, and South Korea; modestly higher for Germany and Canada; somewhat higher for Italy and the United Kingdom; and lower for France. Russia's R&D/GDP ratio grew consistently from the late 1990s but has fallen back to only somewhat above its 1996 level in recent years.
