borrows Ge You in a line in the classic movie, "What is the most expensive in the 21st century? Talent!" The development and prosperity of a country cannot be separated from talent support. Only when talent reserves and accumulation of energy are sufficient, can the future scientific and technological projects be realized. The essence of overtaking on the curve is here.
The key point of the Sino-US game is in the field of science and technology, especially the independent research and development capabilities. What can be used to last? It is talents. In the Trump era, the United States had begun to compete with China in the fields of economy and science and technology. At this time, the United States was no longer a "beacon country" that everyone yearned for. It advocated the so-called "American Dream", but became a place where everyone in danger of Chinese scientists, because they were worried about Chinese scientists and were worried that after these scientists learned, they would pass on key technologies to China, making China surpass the United States in the field of science and technology.
This is the "inward turn" of American society. After the epidemic, the United States of America , which was once a yearning for by people with confidence and personality, no longer exists. The cause of the persecution of Chinese scientists by the United States is attributed to a political action by Trump, called the "China Action Plan", which mainly focuses on dealing with "security and technological threats" from foreign countries. To put it bluntly, the United States is the psychology of "non-one of our race, their hearts must be different". The so-called foreign country actually refers specifically to China.
At that time, Associate Professor of the University of Tennessee Hu Anming was the first person to be interrogated by this plan. The most famous incident after that was the "Chen Gang case". The cause was that in January 2020, Chen Gang went to Shenzhen, China with teachers and students to discuss cooperation matters. After returning to the United States, he was investigated and arrested by the US side. The reason was that Chen Gang concealed his itinerary to China. This investigation took two years until January this year, when Chen Gang was released.
ended the accusation and restored freedom. The first sentence Chen Gang said to the outside world was "Although I love science, I will live in horror from now on." It demonstrates the sad situation of Chinese scientists in the United States. There are many examples like this. Starting from Trump's plan, Chinese scientists in the United States have received extraordinary attention. They live in surveillance all the time, and there is no freedom to speak of.
Although the US Department of Justice stopped the "China Action Plan" in February this year, please note that this is just a stop, not an end, which means that the United States' guardianship with Chinese scientists still exists. Biden fights China in the chip field, and the concern behind it is still talents.
It is in this situation that 1,400 Chinese scientists returned to China for construction. Relevant data shows that 1,400 Chinese scientists returned to China last year alone, and the proportion increased by one fifth compared with 2020. This is a very high increase, proving that the United States' scientific research environment is still harsh and China has truly achieved the return of talents.
Imagine that in the early days of the founding of New China, it was a large number of Chinese scientists in a wealthy situation who abandoned their living conditions abroad and served their country with their sincere heart that New China has gained a foothold in many scientific and technological fields, including the most famous invention of the atomic bomb , missiles and hydrogen bomb . China truly stands in the East, and Western countries dare not threaten again.
The group of people who supported the scientific and technological construction of New China can be called the "backbone of the Republic". It is their hard work, abandoning the ego, integrating into the ego, and becoming a monument of the times that China can move forward steadily and achieve more than 40 years of reform and opening up. Now that these 1,400 scientists return to China is a very good signal, marking that high-tech elite talents will return to China and need to carry out scientific and technological construction, shine and heat up. With the help of talents, the window of China's development opportunity period will not stop.
What China once regretted was that talents were cultivated but were harvested by the United States. Many people went to the United States for research. Now this situation has been reversed. It can be said that "the scenery is the best here", one is rising and the other is falling, and American talents are facing the situation of loss. The era of the United States that wants to see the mountains in the field of science and technology will eventually pass. China's science and technology and talents are on the road of light!
