is that true? or do we merely wish it were true? certainly talented people will have lots of different options as to where to apply their talent but lets not pretend that all the places to apply talent are inherently equal, or that that the value propositions of those places is merely a function of whether those places are perceived as welcoming ------------ ------------ though its a highly imperfect analogy to a county, Harvard and Stanford regularly tell 95% of hopeful student that they're not welcome to come and study there, seemingly with little effect on their ability to attract the talent that they do want I think that does indicate that talent attraction doesn't neatly equal welcomeness ----------- also seems worth noting, if one of the US's large assets in attracting talented foreigner is its large market available for entrepreneurial ambitions, one of its main competitors in this space doesn't have any issue categorizing entrants in their society based on their likely usefulness for their hosts https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/22/world/asia/china-work-permit-visa.html https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/22/world/asia/china-work-per...
