HIV is next, then cancer. China now has the kind of state scientific infrastructure that the US had in the 1950s. For some reason the USA is actively trying to destroy theirs.
I do believe that HIV will happen soon, but curing cancer is a lot like curing the common cold. Even if you cure one strain, there are still hundreds more with the same end result. Cancer is just the umbrella term for a particular type of cellular behavior, but there are a lot of different types, causes, etc and treatments will vary for each.
To be clear, this isn’t some nihilistic doomer “why even bother trying” type of post. Modern medicine has already made great strides in curing several different kinds of specific cancers. But a cure for one cancer will not really equate to “curing cancer”, because there will still be countless others.
china wouldve been comporable, if they had not just fudge thier numbers, experiments in biological research all the time and make claims that cant be backed up. CCP is quite insular when it comes to research that hasnt been reverse engineered.

I wouldn’t be so sure about HIV. Perhaps a functional cure, but complete remission is probably quite a while away yet.

We’ve been hearing this for decades. Care to cite some actual data?
