Since the day a Chinese went to the United States to study, this battle for talent between China and the United States has quietly started.
Why are there so many Chinese people studying in the United States?
main reasons:
1. For the past hundred years, the United States has been in a position to crush China in all aspects of academic, industry, and technology.
If you don’t go to the United States, don’t get into the world’s most advanced knowledge, and stay in China, you will always be working behind closed doors and have no way out.
Master the skills of the barbarians to control the barbarians. That's the reason, so Chinese students went to the United States.
2, Gengzi helps with students.
1901, the Qing government signed the humiliating " Xinchou Treaty " in Beijing City . The treaty stipulates that China takes out 450 million taels of silver from customs bank tariffs and other tariffs to compensate all countries, settle the currency exchange rate of each country, and pay it off in 39 years at 4% of the annual interest rate.
suddenly got so much compensation, how to use it?
Take it back to build an industry, expand your arms, or send it to the soldiers participating in the war as a benefit?
The practices are different in each country, but among these countries, the most visionary is the Americans.
How smart are Americans?
At that time, the then US President Theodore Roosevelt was not the one from World War II , this was the old Roosevelt . According to the seniority of our Chinese, Roosevelt should be the cousin and uncle of Roosevelt .
Someone in the think tank around him suggested: hopes that the US government will attract a group of Chinese students to the United States, in order to cultivate a group of pro-American Chinese intellectual elites in the future.
Finally, the agreement we discussed was to return half of the US income " Boxer Indemnity " to China. This refund is not directly returned by the US government, but is deducted from the "indemnity" that was originally due every year, and a "school fund" is established to be supervised and used by the US government.
Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, that's it.
Take the wealth plundered from other countries and then return it to a portion of it, and fund young students from other countries in the name of doing charity and cultivate their patriotic enthusiasm. The "patriotism" here refers to "love the United States".
Right, by the way, the establishment and development of Tsinghua University is inseparable from the support of the United States' "Bontaine Indemnity".
For young people, how can they know what history and humiliation?
They only know that when I was studying, the Chinese government did not give me a penny. Instead, the US government gave me food and clothing, tuition, and asked me to go to the United States. Now that I have graduated, can't I repay the United States well?
If at this time, the US government will submit green cards to these outstanding talents in a timely manner, basically few people will come back.
In the United States, you can enjoy superior living conditions, live in a big villa, have a small car, and have maids to serve you. Everyone goes to the top research institutes and laboratories. A large number of high-tech elites are surrounding you and helping you.
Living conditions and academic environment are both first-class.
More importantly, before the establishment of The People's Republic of China , there were constant wars in China. Even if the country was founded, it would be poor and nothing to do.
We don’t consider whether it is patriotic or not, so we ask you, but from a personal perspective, what would you choose?
must have chosen the United States with your eyes closed, and there is no doubt about this.
But it is precisely because of this that the greatness of Qian Xuesen , Deng Jiaxian and others is demonstrated.
Their patriotism is unimaginable to ordinary people.
However, compared with the mighty army studying in the United States every year, Qian Xuesen and others are the minority after all.
We have always been behind in this battle for talent between China and the United States.
After the reform and opening up, as Chinese people became rich and stronger, their living conditions and scientific research conditions have been greatly improved, and they have indeed attracted some talents to return.
However, every year, there are still a large number of Chinese students who choose to stay in the United States to develop after graduation.
Although we have made a lot of efforts, we hope to recruit top talents who study in the United States and use this method to speed up catching up with the United States' scientific research level.
However, none of them were very successful. The phenomenon of
did not improve until 2020, and it was also this year that became the turning point in the battle for talent between China and the United States.
Let’s first look at the gap between China and the United States:
1, living standards.
2, differences in academic research environment.
3, salary and compensation.
But starting from 2020, something strange happened: the number of Chinese scientists leaving the United States has risen sharply.
According to data collected by researchers at Princeton University , Harvard University and MIT , last year, in 2021, more than 1,400 Chinese scientists trained in the United States gave up their jobs in American academic institutions or enterprises and returned to China. The number of people in
increased by 22% compared with the previous year.
So, what exactly happened to make these good Chinese scientists who live in the United States return to China?
First, in the past 20 years, China has become richer and stronger, and has gained its status as a scientific research center, with a great improvement in the academic environment and scientific research level.
Although there is still a little gap with the United States in terms of living conditions, academic environment and salary, it is already very, very small.
Second, the outbreak of the new crown epidemic.
As we all know, in 2020, the new crown epidemic was the most serious in the United States, while China was the first country to control the epidemic.
In the United States, people pay attention to the so-called human rights and freedoms. They don’t hit masks, run around, and the virus spreads wildly.
In China, these scientists are very homeless. They commute between the institute and their homes at two o'clock every day. In addition to our country's strict epidemic prevention measures, outsiders cannot contact them at all.
So, the risk of viral infection is almost 0.
But in the United States, we need to talk about the so-called human rights and freedom. Although the epidemic is very serious, the security guard of my institute just doesn’t wear a mask or does not get vaccinated. What can you do to me?
So, compared with the two, those scientists naturally know how to choose.
This is the second point, the epidemic.
The third point is policy.
More and more Chinese scientists who are trained in the United States have decided to return home. This is inseparable from China's efforts to recruit top researchers through talent projects.
China has implemented talent projects for ten consecutive years and given the highest preferential treatment. As long as you are willing to come back, the green light will be given all the way, and no one dares to make things difficult for you.
need to be quarantined when returning to China, right? No problem, we will deliver the experimental equipment to your room in advance, and the research materials are also updated every day. There is a team outside that accepts your allocation 24 hours a day. As long as you have any needs, they can help you complete it.
allows you to enjoy the feeling of remotely doing experiments without leaving home during quarantine.
This is in China.
And what about the United States?
Although many years ago, many people were willing to stay in the United States.
However, in November 2018, the Trump administration launched the so-called "China Action Plan" aimed at investigating the theft of US economic, technological, and trade secrets by foreign agencies.
Americans always doubt those Chinese who come to the United States to study. Even if you have obtained nationality and become a Chinese American, your skin is different and your eyes are different.
They always feel that these black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese people have ill-thinking plans and are coming to steal the highest technology of the US government.
So, over the past three years, the two U.S. governments' Department of Justice and the FBI have launched an investigation into "scientific researchers supported by the Chinese government" to examine whether they pose security and technical threats to the United States in their academic activities.
MIT Technology Technology Review Statistics show that as of the end of 2021, 77 cases were listed on the US Department of Justice's "China Action Plan" special website, and more than 150 people were prosecuted, of which more than 9 became Chinese.
In addition, according to the " Guangming Daily " report in June this year, the FBI Director of the FBI Christopher Ray said in Congress that during the implementation of the plan, there were as many as 2,000 cases involving China, and an average of one counter-espionage case involving China was initiated every 10 hours.
Think about it, what a horrible data this is?
A large number of Chinese scientists, university professors, corporate executives and other technical talents were investigated as criminal suspects, and their work, life and reputation were seriously affected.
will not only be investigated by the US government, but will also be besieged and abused by other white racists. Who can bear this?
Therefore, these offensive behaviors in the United States "assisted" us to attract more Chinese-American scientists to return to China.
There are many top Chinese researchers who said in an interview that they have either jumped from positions in American universities to China or are looking for such opportunities because they are worried that they will also become the target of the US Department of Justice.
Although, amid widespread protests and racial discrimination disputes, on February 23 this year, the US Department of Justice announced the termination of the much-criticized "China Action Plan".
But some Chinese scientists say they still feel the suspicion is targeted at them and worry that as long as U.S.-China relations continue to be tense, this suspicion will continue. Although
is terminated now, what if one day it will make a comeback?
So, returning to China is the best choice.
As a result, the turning point in the battle for talent between China and the United States appeared, and more and more Chinese scientists returned to China after completing their studies.
As this phenomenon intensifies, Americans will be more afraid and more guard against these Chinese scientists, thinking that they are here to steal secrets, just to "steal" the core technology of the United States and return to China one day.
This is what is called "there are all soldiers and the wind is in full swing." The more this happens, the more they will exclude and attack Chinese scientists.
Those marginalized Chinese scientists will be even more discouraged, give up on the United States and return to China.
For the United States, this is a vicious cycle. When people’s hearts are lost, it is difficult to save them.
And for our China, here, I still want to sincerely thank Mr. Donald Trump . We always remember your contribution to China.
2024 is coming soon. If you are not elected as president, I will definitely not agree.
Give me an address, I am willing to spend ten dollars to send you a postcard to express my support and support for you, Dear President.
I am Aoki Yuan. I will update the article on the new official account "Aoki in the Sea" in the next few months. Everyone is welcome to follow and hope to be with everyone every night.
