Beijing is accelerating efforts to attract Chinese-born scientists working in the United States back home with lucrative incentives, as concerns grow over the research climate in America.
In a strategic move to boost its scientific and technological capabilities, China has ramped up initiatives to entice Chinese-born researchers currently based in the United States to return home. This effort is driven by a combination of attractive incentives and growing concerns among scientists about the research environment in the US.
China’s government has been offering substantial financial packages to returning scientists, including annual salaries around $150,000 and startup funding between $300,000 and $600,000. These incentives are part of broader programs like the Thousand Talents Plan, which aim to position China as a leader in global research and development. The focus is particularly strong in fields such as life sciences, engineering, and artificial intelligence.  
Simultaneously, a significant number of Chinese-born researchers in the US have expressed unease due to policies like the now-defunct China Initiative, which targeted individuals with ties to Chinese institutions. Studies indicate that 72% of these scientists feel unsafe conducting research in the US, and 61% have considered leaving the country. This climate has led to a notable increase in the number of scientists returning to China, with departures rising in recent years
