China attracts top global research talents, while the United States faces a challenge of talent loss.

Indian media: The US is gradually being surpassed by China in attracting top global scientific talent.

Since the beginning of 2024, at least 85 top and emerging scientists working in the US have joined Chinese research institutions on a full-time basis, with more than half joining in 2025. This trend contrasts sharply with the US government's cutbacks in research budgets and increased scrutiny of foreign talent, while China continues to invest heavily in local innovation.

This "reverse brain drain" phenomenon has raised doubts about whether the US can long-term attract top scientists, which may affect the competition between the US and China in key areas such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
