Xinjiang United Daily News reported last night (December 11): "495,000 Chinese students returned from overseas in 2024, an increase of 79,400 compared to 2023, a year-on-year growth of 19.1%, indicating an accelerated trend of talent return."
[Witty] Comment: In fact, this trend had already shown signs since 2018. At that time, other countries, except the United States, were increasingly unable to offer competitive salaries and development opportunities. In contrast, at home, returning personnel could not only be with their families but also have good development opportunities, making their hometowns the optimal choice. After Trump's re-election, U.S. work visas continued to tighten, further squeezing the space for international students to stay in the U.S. The combination of multiple factors has made the return of talent an inevitable trend, and this tendency may continue in the future.
