对于人才流失应该加以控制
Now the overflow of talents to other countries presents a serious problem to the sustainable development of our country and government should try every way possible to check this trend and guarantee the survival and competitiveness of our country on the international stage.
Many people who go abroad are high school and college graduates, on whom our country has invested a tremendous amount of money. Why should we, the government and tax-payers educate talents for other countries?
China now faces a painful shortage of qualified personnel, and still, one batch after another are going abroad. It’s imperative to stop any further talent loss through stricter restrictions.
Many people who go abroad to seek fortunes end up doing menial and demeaning jobs, which are indecent to the kind of education they have received. What they should do is to become more patriotic and come back and contribute to the construction of China into a powerful and rich country.
It’s true that some people go abroad to learn advanced science and technology, yet many of the things they learn abroad cannot be applied to China. And many people who go abroad at such a young age cannot even understand their own culture and are easily influenced by Western ideas. Gradually, they lose both their cultural integrity and sound judgment.

The brain drain should not be stopped by restrictions because they can only prevent people from going abroad, but can never guide them to serve our country whole-heartedly.
Restrictions are useless, because in China there are always ways to get around restrictions and many people have already found ways to do so.
When people stay abroad after education and have found their success, they become a positive representation for their own country as they contribute to the overseas community. People will think higher for their mother country simply because of their level of success. They’re gonna be thinking, “Wow. Look at that Chinese guy, with that much business achievement. China is a powerful country after all, huh?” So in this sense, it’s not really a bad idea for some talents to choose to stay overseas.
It’s true a growing number of people choose not to return to their own country after overseas education, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that their country will cease to develop without them. There’re still many people in the country undertaking to make the country a better place. Instead of blaming the overseas talents, we should rely more on what’s available inside the country already, our own effort. And in terms of cultivating talents, yeah, it’s true that most overseas colleges are more effective in education, but many domestic universities also have excellent education capabilities. So we should really concentrate on producing our own excellent talents than to wait passively for those to return from overseas education.
China is a country with a super-sized population, and this creates massive pressure of employment internally. And the fact that many overseas students do not plan to come back and work at home, in a sense, will absorb some of the employment pressure. The government will feel less stressed for generating more jobs.
