More than one-third of investment and researchers of Daya Bay Reactor neutrino experiment came from the United States, according to Wang.

Scientists at the meeting did not consider international collaboration a conflicting thing against international competition.

Jonathan Adams, an analyst at Philadelphia-based Clarivate Analytics, told Xinhua that the top institutions, which are the major players in science research, "need to recruit talent globally" to gain their leadership.

Wang said that the competition between different groups and projects were incentives for science progress, but within a group or a project, researchers with diversified background could produce better results, or in Michelson's word "collaborate to compete."

The U.S. institutional authors collaborate most frequently with authors from China, currently the largest producer of publications. China accounted for 22.9 percent of U.S. internationally coauthored publications in 2016, according to the latest science and engineering indicator released by the U.S. National Science Board.

Some Americans are skeptical about U.S.-China cooperation, partly due to lack of trust, said Wagner, but "we should collaborate to build trust," "rather than stop it until we have trust."

AAAS is the world's largest general scientific society and its annual meetings promote communication among policymakers, researchers and the public.
