Chinese students that have been studying in the West are
now returning to China. In fact, Chinese students who would otherwise
choose to study in the USA are now preferring to study in China, staffed
by all the academics from Western Universities returning to helm all
the Research and Developments in Chinese Universities.
These
highly touted academics have been persecuted and suspected of spying,
which have led to a massive exodus from USA Universities and a strategic
gain by Chinese Universities and research bodies in China. Even foreign
students from countries like Uganda, Japan, Pakistan and Middle East
have flocked to Chinese Universities for a cheaper, friendlier and more
innovative atmosphere studies. And courses are being conducted not just
in Chinese, but in English as well, which suited students from even
European states.
A few Chinese Universities are now among the
top ranked Universities of the World, where ranking criteria is now
still biasedly tilted in favor of Western Universities. Cutting-edged
research papers from Chinese Universities are written in Chinese and not
well covered in the ranking criteria, especially in science and
engineering. We can see how far ahead China's engineering has evolved
just by looking at the development of high-speed rail systems, EVs,
communication systems, space exploration, hydropower plants and even
nuclear energy development.
The same scenario is being repeated
in other institutions and companies, with engineers and scientist now
making a beeline for China where opportunities are available without the
risk of persecution.
All these developments are to China's
advantage and is resulting in a brain drain that is causing problems for
USA trying to attract manufacturing to the country. The rise of the USA
after WW2 had much to do with its attracting talents from other
countries who went there to study and contributed to the research and
development of USA industries. The reverse is now happening and getting
worse by the day.
Make America Great Again? How?

The 'Make America Great Again' mantra is just like blowing up a balloon, no different from the USA debt. And it will burst the same way as bubbles and balloons.
Backfiring seems to be the result of the stupid USA policies of late. It was a blessing for China without needing to dangle carrots to lure those top academics, scientists and engineers back to China. And as more academics and scientist found their callings in China paying off well, and even providing the impetus for them to grow their talents, the more others in the USA are apt to follow their footsteps. It will be a big gain for China and a big loss for the USA, notwithstanding whether the USA is accepting the reality or not.
It fits in nicely for China's effort to staff its universities and corporations with top of the chain returning talents and brains, all-ready-trained and paid for by the USA taxpayers over the decades. Let not the USA now accuse China of stealing its talents, which it is chasing out itself from USA universities and research facilities. Now even Chinese universities are competing with top USA and Western universities for the accolades. Who would have thought of that a decade ago?
Not just loss of talents. Loss of potential Chinese students are depriving those universities of much needed tuition funds for carrying out research and development work.
And it does not just the universities losing out. Chinese students are hollowing out of living quarters and depriving landlords of much needed income in rental. Apart from that, we have to factor in the spending of those Chinese students outside campuses that helps the retail sectors as well. It is a whole chain reaction that is never foreseen.
