And they can STAY IN CHINA. And I bet we’d graduate more if we limited those seats in US universities to US students. Can’t graduate more when the seats are not open to US citizens.
Yeah, but China will significantly lag us in basket weaving.
Well, China has almost 4 times the population of the U.S.
China’s also got four times the population that we do.
/src on/Look at the bright side the US is graduating 1000 times as many Doctorates in Studies as China./src off/
And thanks to our “universities” we have totally bastardized the word “studies”, as those marshmallow jokes of curricula have nothing to do with anything related to intellectual pursuits whatsoever.
I would say, “yeah, but their work is crap and I know because I’ve seen it first hand”, except that they and their crap work are what American business prefers. That might be the main reason nobody can quite keep the hackers out. (The other main reason might very well be that backdoors are being put in place on purpose.)

I blame H-1B. Our students aren’t stupid. They know that the wages of STEM graduates are artificially low. Why go through all of that? STEM degrees are not easy to get and it isn’t a big party to get one.
Well they have nearly quadruple our population, so...
Most grads with Piled higher and Deepers just price themselves out of a job....
There are consequences for the way American companies treat American workers.
It gets even brighter - many of the US grads are the best and brightest Chinese nationals who go back to China and set up their own transplanted US style research programs in China
Well, they have more than 4x the population we do so I guess we’re ahead on a “per 100M” basis.
China sends it's best and brightest to the US for Doctorates, where they are are in great demand because they are brilliant, hard working and paid for by the Chinese government so they are essentially free labor to the the profs running American academic research programs in cutting edge research areas.
These guys go back to China to start programs of their own in cutting edge emerging technologies and China gives the returning scholar a million buck per year stipend to fund their programs .
A million bucks still goes a long way in China
The Japanese research team that developed much of the Japanese (and rest of the world's ) semiconductor industry worked in extremely primitive and resource depleted conditions with little to no funding in Japan's post war devastation.
They emerged as a dominant player in less than a decade.

Think of what these American trained and educated Chinese PhDs can accomplish with a mega buck a year in China and no teaching obligations.
Perspective: China has a population of 1.38 billion (2016). We have a population of 347 million (also 2016).
So, for nearly 4 times as many people, they generate HALF the STEM doctorates we do. . . .
I wonder if in China they have academics and students in STEM courses claiming the science curriculum has to be changed because in China it reflects too much “Yellow Privilege”.
Given that China has 4x the population of the US, I’d say that they are well behind by only doing twice the number.
That’s okay, we’re graduating experts in climate change and gender specification, so screw them!
Yes but our are made to take courses in whiteness and rape prevention so they will be much easier to control as a group.
