The OECD has published new data showing that the United States is losing the race for scientific talent to China and other countries, according to Modern Diplomacy.
In 2021, the United States lost published research scientists to other countries, while China gained more than 2,408 scientific authors, the website wrote, adding that this was a remarkable turnaround from as recently as 2017 when the United States picked up 4,292 scientists and China picked up just 116.
On Wednesday, SCMP wrote that an award-winning Chinese mathematician will return to Peking University from the United States this autumn, according to the top Chinese university. Sun Xin, now an assistant professor in mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania, will take up a new appointment at the Beijing International Centre for Mathematical Research at his alma mater, Peking University, although the university did not specify Sun’s new role, the news site added.
