Yes, it's not a very good English mostly, but the quality of science seems to be going up. At least this is my impression from superficial browsing...

What occurred to me is that there is no equilibrium point in the future: given that they still know English much better, than other people know Chinese, and given how difficult Chinese seems to be, at the equilibrium (when the Chinese school does not have to publish in English too fast anymore), it can gain an advantage by simply publishing Chinese versions a year earlier.

At the end of the day, it's not about the quality of writing. So, unless we get a decent quality machine translation from Chinese before that moment...
