回复：小白兔，请问一个推荐人选择的问题

steal an idea for you.

select 6-8 references based on the following order:

1) from government agency first
2) independent next
3) from different geographical parts of world
4) from diffeent geographical parts of USA
5) bigman over layman
6) no more than two letters from same institute or city
7) In terms of Chinese guy, one enough from China. But no more than 50% of all persons of reference are Chinese, be as independent as possible.


Now turn to your questions;

(1) PhD advisor和现在工作的顶头上司一定要选吗？

**** better to use 现在工作的顶头上司if you can

(2) 推荐人中，（在美国的）中国人多了是不是不好？

**** difficult to say how many is good or bad. But do not forget he/she must be an independent one

(3) 是不是一定要从美国国外找几个？几个合适呢？现在在中国国内的算数吗？

******* if you can, find 2 or three from abroad. One from China is enough

(4) 找military lab里的人好不好？

*******why not, I do not see any adverse effect.

Just for general reference!! Do not take it for granted. You need to decide based on your particular case or particular situation.
