Where does the power of the United States, the technological giant standing on top of the world, come from? The answer is undoubtedly a star of talent shining with wisdom. In the great ship of history, the United States rode the turbulence of two world wars to skillfully bring talents from all over the world to its own land. The rise and development of these talents has given the United States a decisive say in many key fields such as semiconductors and communications. Its supremacy was thus consolidated.
At this time, China has been working hard for the dream of "building a country with science and technology". However, in the face of US technological hegemony, China has suffered a serious blow. Compared with the rupture of the hardware supply chain, what is more worrying is the loss of a large number of Chinese scientific and technological talents to the United States. According to data, more than half of the elite talent group that supports the "hegemony" of US semiconductors are Chinese. Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei sighed: "In the final analysis, technology competition is a competition for talents. However, the departure of these Chinese scientists undoubtedly left a painful wound in Ren Zhengfei's heart.
When we face this phenomenon, we cannot fail to mention the Chinese education system. Chinese universities, especially Peking University Tsinghua University, send a large number of scientific research talents to the United States, but face a shortage of talents at home. We have talented researchers, we have advanced scientific research equipment, we have a steady stream of capital investment, but what we lack is a culture of respect and appreciation for researchers, which can attract them to stay in China and contribute to the scientific and technological development of the motherland.
Ren Zhengfei said, "Our own chickens lay eggs in our own nests." This sentence is full of irony. His words point to a problem that we have long ignored: we need to cultivate excellent scientific and technological talents on our own land so that they can realize their dreams on their own land, rather than letting them go to other places to help others in other people's land.
We regret that at that time, our conditions, environment, culture and other aspects were not sufficiently attractive to talents. We may still be in a stage of waste and disrespect for talent. We must be aware of this problem and fundamentally change our attitude towards talents, only in this way can we realize the dream of building a nation with science and technology.
Today, we are aware of the seriousness of the brain drain and are starting to actively make changes at all levels. For example, we have begun to vigorously support the development of local semiconductors, encourage independent innovation of enterprises, and create a healthy scientific research environment. We provide better treatment for researchers, including various living conveniences, higher salaries, and more research funds.
In addition, we have also seen that Chinese universities are working hard to improve the research environment, introducing a series of policies, such as a fairer academic evaluation system and a more open research environment. With such efforts, we have also seen remarkable results. Data show that in the past two years, not only more than 3,800 Chinese scientists have chosen to return to China to dedicate themselves to the country, but many foreign scientists, such as Japanese scientist Toshio Fukuda and American quantum scientist Mario Seged, have also begun to take root in China.
This is a welcome phenomenon and gives us hope. We firmly believe that as long as we continue to work hard, we will be able to cultivate more scientific and technological elites and promote the development of China's scientific and technological undertakings. At the same time, we also look forward to realizing true scientific research sharing on a global scale and jointly promoting the progress of human society.
