The US, EU and their allies can easily make this happen.
Can they? These days, China looks a much better option for a young ambitious scientist than the US. That said, if the war for control in the Ukraine brings more competition between the major powers I'm all for it, monopolies never did anyone any good, this includes the Wolfowitz doctrine.
- lancebeet 5y agoI apologize if I'm misinterpreting you, but do you honestly believe that China is a more attractive location to a young ambitious scientist than the US? Or is this some sort of a joke that I'm not getting?
- HarryHirsch 5y agoChina is becoming a very attractive location for the sciences: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00084-7 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00084-7 No joke at all.

- skissane 5y agoFrom a culture and language viewpoint, most Russian scientists would find it much easier to adjust to your average Western country than to China. Plus, Western countries generally have much more experience at integrating immigrants than China does, which suggests they are likely to do a better job at it than China.
