When thinking of what the world will be like in 2050, the first idea that comes to my mind is the picture named “the world according to the USA“. In this picture, only the USA is civilized, the other countries are all described badly. I’m a little angry on that, but I have to admit that China is truly the SUPERMARKET, with the comparatively low labour cost. I really get embarrassed when I see the slogan MADE IN CHINA everyday. How I wish it could be “Designed in China” or “Invented by chinese” instead of “made” or “produced”.
Today, I want to talk about a serious topic in China, and maybe it happens in other countries, too. The problem of losing talents. In fact, it’s the talents who may change the world.
China has the largest number of overseas students in the world, with a record 1.27 million studying abroad at the end of 2010, according to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Education.
Instead of a exchange experience, many top students stay in the countries where they study and never go back. They may get married with a foreigner and set up a family there. It’s sad. Because the chinese government provides them with schlorship but they work for another country.A recent study by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), the nation’s top think-tank, shows that China is losing more first-rate minds to the West than any other country in the world.
So the chinese government has taken many actions about it. For example, the government may sponsor for 3 years of expense if a student study Master in USA. But before he goes abroad, he must sign in a contract claiming that he will come back after his graduation. If not, he should return all the money including the fee for punishment. Though many measures have been carried out, it still can’t stop the trend of losing talents to the west.
So if the problem of losing talents doesn’t change, we will never change the order or situation of the world. The world 2050 will look exactly like the year 2011.
