- 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.

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.

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.
But hey, at least universities aren’t woke anymore, right? /s
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!
