This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Seriously, for me a "China scientist" is someone doing research on China, like a space scientist would do research on astronomy and similar. But I'm not a native English speaker, so, idk
Someone doing research on China is a chiologist.
Same as someone doing research on biology is a biologist.
Biology -> biolog -> biologist
China -> chin -> chinist?
The wording of the headline would be different if it were trying to convey that.
