Report: China’s Brain-Drain Reversed
Seems most mainland Chinese who’ve studied abroad over the past three decades have returned, according to a government education agency report. This is a formal accounting of trend reversals since the early 2000s.
————————
| More than 72 percent of overseas Chinese students have returned to China after finishing education abroad since the late 1970s, according to a report from a government-backed agency. From 1978 to 2011, about 818,400 Chinese students returned home after studying abroad, said a report issued on Sunday by the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange (CSCSE), which is administered by the Ministry of Education. In 2011 alone, nearly 186,200 chose to return, nearly 40 percent more than that in the previous year, said the report, adding that the center had offered services to 110,000 of them.
