One of the leading researchers in MRI methods development has been doing collaborative work in China for many years. About 5 years ago I was chatting with him about how he's in China so much lately and he told me that the great thing about China is he can get an idea rolled out en masse to over 100 scanners(!!) and have multiple hundreds of case results in various different diseases in less than a month(!!!). This is shocking speed and quantity of data as these things go. Who wouldn't prefer to work in that environment?
