Re <<The Great and Glorious British Empire did win over the world. ... But people are still escaping to USA, not China. Though Russia has attractions for some. Hungary too.>>
Reminding you that we are watching history, unlike what Francis Fukuyama intoned, does not stop, and in real time Message 34518172 is very extremely exciting
You and I have been posting about China <<fail>> since the get-go, and so far very entertaining ... like a game of Go, get Go, get it :0)
... Chinese scientists living in the United States have for decades contributed to research efforts driving developments in advanced technology and science. But a growing number of them may now be looking elsewhere for work, as deteriorating geopolitical relations fuel extra scrutiny of Chinese researchers and Beijing ramps up efforts to recruit and retain talent. Between 2010 and 2021, the number of Chinese scientists leaving the United States has steadily increased, according to new research published last month. If the trend continues, experts warn that the brain drain could deal a major blow to U.S. research efforts in the long run.
“It’s absolutely devastating,” said David Bier, the associate director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute. “So many of the researchers that the United States depends on in [the] advanced technology field are from China, or are foreign students, and this phenomenon is certainly going to negatively impact U.S. firms and U.S. research going forward.”
... From 2010 to 2021, the number of scientists of Chinese descent who left the United States for another country has surged from 900 to 2,621, with scientists leaving at an expedited rate between 2018 and 2021, according to research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Nearly half of this group moved to China and Hong Kong in 2010, the study said, and a growing percentage of Chinese scientists have relocated to China over the years.
While this number represents a small fraction of the Chinese scientists in the United States, the uptick reflects researchers’ growing concerns and broader apprehension amid a tense geopolitical climate. After surveying 1,304 Chinese American researchers, the report found that 89 percent of respondents wanted to contribute to U.S. science and technology leadership. Yet 72 percent also reported feeling unsafe as researchers in the United States, while 61 percent had previously considered seeking opportunities outside of the country.
however, you are correct, the small loss is overwhelmed by the large gain, and a 'yuge' experiment further made 'yuge-r'
In the meantime other drains are happening.
I think of minerals the same way I ponder about energy.
My understanding w/r to Gallium is that it is necessary for high-frequency / high-heat / high-power-output transistors that are used in stuff that require such, and so stoppage / severe blockage of export of Gallium is understandable under the circumstance
Chinese military scientists bring energy shield from science fiction to life to defend against enemy radiation: paper
- Plasma-based energy shield is a radical new approach reminiscent of tai chi principles – it aims to convert the attacker’s energy into a defensive force
- Team spurred by pressure from US, which has Active Denial System, Vigilant Eagle system and AGM-86 cruise missile with microwave warhead and weapons
Nothing to worry about unless / until same approach used on Antimony, that which is needed to coat lead shells for munitions, meaning when inconvenience for futuristic stuff is transposed to the here-now-immediate chm.bris.ac.uk.
