This paragraph ends in mid-sentence: "The numbers are not yet dramatic: China’s net inflow amounted to 3000 researchers from abroad in 2021, presumably most of them returning Chinese. This number pales in comparison with the millions of STEM graduates and hundreds of thousand PhDs in the making in China. But is a turnaround from the past, when the US was capable of attracting scientists from around the world, including China. And those that have spent part of their career abroad are likely the more skilled ones. Thus, although the additional scientists"
You know the US think tank crowd is looking at the same charts panicking. Hence why it's now that we're seeing all this legislation to "curb Chinese influence" in academia, or whatever other gibberish they use to kick out the Chinese kids. This can only work short term for the US and will likely backfire.
