China, for example, could set up a very European-style English-speaking institute in Hong Kong or Macau with high salaries to attract scientists. Singapore and South Korea too. One day Americans might well follow the money and the research freedom?
- UncleOxidant 2y agoHeck, China has a reproduction of Jackson Hole, Wy. (See the documentary Americaville)
- bilbo0s 2y agoChina's drowning in their own PhD's. The competition is fierce, and the pressure is enormous. The best and brightest over there are insanely capable men and women. In all honesty, it's hard to see China wanting many of the PhD's that would be available from the US in a worst case scenario NSF/NIH funding collapse. There may be a place for the top 0.1%? But for 99.9% of PhD's, there are Chinese replacements that are, frankly, better and cheaper. Hate to bring it back to money like that, but there it is.
- jimmydoe 2y agoChina has been funding students from global south, that has big room to grow if China can overcome xenophobia problem in its culture. As for PhD from developed countries, it’s gonna be hard as you said.
- willvarfar 2y agoThere's also the angle that enticing the brains away from 'the west' is about denying the west something.
- sangnoir 2y agoI see Chinese nationals in US labs thinking a return to China is a more attractive now than it was a few weeks ago. Chinese institutions should absolutely capitalize on this.
- dluan 2y agoIt's been happening already for a few years. Many prominent award-winning faculty are leaving US institutions and setting up brand new labs in top Chinese universities.
