> Award winning faculty and scientists are fleeing US universities and institutions and setting up shop in China, often with more funding and talent available, and no McCarthyism accusations of being spies. It started officially in 2018 with the US Department of Justice's "China Initiative", which basically just allowed anyone to go on a witch hunt of Chinese and Chinese American academics.
While some of what you write is accurate, there’s also plenty of hyperbole and omission in what you said.
According to research by Stanford: ”19,955 scientists of Chinese descent who began their careers in the U.S. but left for other countries, including China, between 2010 and 2021.”
And: ”Among the scientists of Chinese descent who left the U.S. in 2010, 48% moved to mainland China and Hong Kong, and 52% moved to other countries.”
So we lost twenty thousand scientists of Chinese descent over roughly a decade, half of which went back to China? That seems horrible. Where’s the hyperbole?
That's going to be a little skewed because the initial years was primarily scientists fleeing to Europe, Australia, Canada. The last few years has been heavily China.
