Excerpt
Every country sends out students. What makes China different is that most of these bright minds have stayed away. Only a third have come back, according to the Ministry of Education; fewer by some counts. A study this year by a scholar at America’s Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education found that 85% of those who gained their doctorate in America in 2006 were still there in 2011.
To lure experts to Chinese universities, the government has launched a series of schemes since the mid-1990s. They have offered some combination of a one-off bonus of up to lm yuan ( $ 160,000), promotion, an assured salary and a housing allowance or even a free apartment. Some of the best universities have built homes for the academics to rent or buy at a discount. All are promised top-notch facilities. Many campuses, which were once spartan, now have swanky buildings. The programmes have also targeted non-Chinese. The "Recruitment Programme for Foreign Experts" , launched in 2011, has enticed around 200 people. Spending on universities has shot up, too: six fold in 2001 -2011. The results have been striking. In 2005 - 2012, published research articles from higher-education institutions rose by 54% ; patents granted went up eightfold.
But most universities still have far to go. Only two Chinese institutions number in the top 100 in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings. Shanghai Jiao Tong University is included only in the 32 institutions from mainland China among the world’s 500 best. The government frets about the failure of a Chinese scholar ever to win a Nobel Prize in science.
Pulling some star scholars back from abroad will not be enough to turn China into an academic giant. Many of those who return do so on a part-time basis. According to David Zweig of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, nearly 75% of Chinese nationals who were lured by the "Thusand Talents Plan" launched in 2008 did not give up tenure elsewhere. Such schemes have often brought reputation rather than better research. They typically target full-time professors whose more productive, innovative years may already be behind them. (They also favour experts in science, technology and management. )
Chinese universities have great difficulty fostering talent at home. The premium on foreign experience in China has created perverse incentives, says Cao Cong of Nottingham University in Britain. It sends the message to today’s best and brightest students that they should still spend their most productive years abroad. More than 300,000 students leave each year.
Today the signs are more encouraging. Some universities are changing the way they recruit and hence finding it easier to attract staff from abroad. At Peking University departments now hire and promote using international evaluation methods. They advertise jobs and academics apply for promotion and are rewarded according to their achievements.

How to Solve the Brain Drain Problem? To solve the brain drain problem, especially those with an overseas academic experience, China has been taking many measures which range over the one-off bonus, promotion, an assured salary and a housing allowance or even a free apartment to attract Chinese professors who is working abroad and foreign professors. This encouragement brings surprising results in boosting the overall academic achievements among universities. However, since Chinese universities rank low on World University Rankings, there is still a long way to go including adjusting executive measures to cater to the talent. Fine porcelain, Chinese-landscape scrolls and calligraphy adorn the office of Shi Yigong. Little of the ornamentation hints Mr. Shi’s 18 years’ professorship at Princeton University in America. In 2008, at the age of 41, he returned to his homeland only to become one of the most famous Chinese scholars to do so. Mr. Shi’s experience is an emblem of Chinese government’s attempts to match its academic achievements with its economic ones. To solve the brain drain problem, inviting offers have been made to attract the talented back to China. These baits range from a one-off bonus to a housing allowance and even a free but swanky apartment. However, in addition to these comfortable materials, more importantly, some bureaucratic processes should give way to real freedom which is aimed at bringing the best out of the professors’ academic achievements. After all, in today’s market where science and technology play a leading role, we need not adorn our universities with professors with high reputations but barren researches. All in all, well-thumbed lexicon as the brain drain seems to be, effective measures must be taken to solve this problem. The real power of a nation roots deep in the elite think-tank where professors constitute the largest part. For the sake of our own development, let’s cherish the knowledge-ridden talent in the most effective way!
