At least 1,400 US-based ethnic Chinese scientists exited American institutions for mainland China, study reveals
At least 1,400 US-based ethnic Chinese scientists switched their affiliation last year from American to Chinese institutions, according to a joint report by academics from Harvard, Princeton and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The high number illustrates a “chilling effect” resulting from US government policies deterring research and academic activity by scientists of Chinese descent and suggests American research could suffer, said the Asian American Scholar Forum, an advocacy group that published the findings.
美中摩擦促使華人科學家離開美國大學
越來越多的華裔科學家和工程師放棄了美國頂級大學的終身職位,前往中國或其他地方,這一現象表明美國對這個推動創新的群體的吸引力正在減弱。
許多學者所稱的日益敵對的政治和種族環境是導致這一趨勢的原因之一,該趨勢已促使拜登政府與華裔學者合作,以解決後者的關切。
根據普林斯頓大學、哈佛大學和麻省理工學院的研究人員收集的數據,2021年,有1,400多名在美國接受培訓的中國科學家放棄了在美國學術單位或企業的工作,轉而回到中國,該人數比前一年增加22%。倡導組織亞裔美國學者論壇(Asian American Scholar Forum)將於周五公布這些數據,其依據是學術期刊上作者姓名下地址的變化。
