Surely it can't be because we have a school to prison pipeline and our colleges are class division country clubs that are constantly being financially threatened to only research on war machines and oil industry
As well as pull, there has been a degree of push. Chinese scientists working abroad have been subject to increased suspicion in recent years. In 2018 America launched the China Initiative, a largely unsuccessful attempt to root out Chinese spies from industry and academia.When the sinophobia blows up in your face like a Looney tunes contraption
The rise of Chinese science is a double-edged sword for Western governments. China’s science system is inextricably linked with its state and armed forces—many Chinese universities have labs explicitly working on defence and several have been accused of engaging in espionage or cyber-attacksLol said proudly as if westerners don't do that to make above mentioned war machines. Fuck off lmao

that's almost exclusively why the US universities still exist imo.. just to crank shit out for the state/military
