- Thousands of Chinese researchers and scientists are leaving top jobs in leading US universities and companies, to take positions in China.
- The Cambridge area of Massachusetts is home to Harvard, MIT, and scores of leading companies, and was the number one source of returning Chinese research and engineering talent.
- In second place is the Palo Alto-Berkeley cluster, which includes Stanford, University of California, and Silicon Valley.
- The migration of top scientific and engineering talent back to China is accelerating, but began nearly a decade ago. And while the political situation between China and the United States certainly is a major motivation for many scientists to return, more important is the quality of the education systems.
- Chinese universities are now claiming the top spots across all the hard science disciplines, while American colleges are tumbling.

I’d rather them be in China where their research can actually benefit humanity anyhow.
But they could work for McKinsey or Palantir to improve the world!
Man, I went to a small university for my engineering masters, during graduation I realized how few Americans are going for higher level STEM degrees.
Why do you think that is?
It’s both stupid expensive and the jobs don’t pay enough anymore. I can make the same salary as an engineer working a trade or any other white collar job.
I’m sure the growing distrust in science and general stupidity didn’t help either.
But hey, at least universities aren’t woke anymore, right? /s
