Top mathematician says Chinese scientists have no choice but to leave US


Many feel ‘uncomfortable’ because of discrimination, according to Yau Shing-Tung.

China should focus on developing original technologies and scientific knowledge and leverage the expertise of scientists returning from the United States, according to a top Chinese-American mathematician. He said many ethnic Chinese students had been driven away from the US by discrimination from the government, including accusations of misusing American research funds for China’s benefit. For China, the return of these scientists means it is gaining top talent, but it also results in weakened ties with the US and a loss of first-hand knowledge of advanced technologies.”
