VDI is the new hot thing. Forget about shipping secure hardened laptops with full disk encryption and VPN with a MFA to get access... with VDI its all in the web browser you remote over to a virtual machine thats sits inside a company or nations data center infrastructure... it logs everything you do on it, keystrokes, screenrecording, webcam the works...

If US opens up to this sort of remote work arrangment it doesnt need to issue visa anymore... and it doesnt add to the immigration problem...

CIA can just seek out the Million talents from all corners of the globe and have the best and brightest minds work on solving the hardest problems for America and then pay them in bitcoin...

How do you suppose that the brightest people stayed in the US? I disagree with that. Most of the people who I know want to stay in the US because they can't keep up in China's work culture and some came because they can't keep up with the cutthroat competition in education. The US is comfortable and they can be lazy here. The most talented Chinese people I know go back to China and then start sending out Wechat invites for investment and cooperation in their start-ups. Picking the most talented is HARD. Every company tries to pick the best and brightest for its team but only very few of them end up star employees. Lots of them are just duds with dressed up resumes.

Of course it matters that this is an English forum; you asked how many forum members are in the US, on an English forum. Many people here are ABCs and proficient in English. Brain drain is about Chinese coming the US for higher education in STEM subjects and what choices they make afterwards. They most likely are not comfortable enough in English to go to an English forum to shoot the breeze.

Biden can't hike stuff up and down as he likes. Even if he wants to increase VISAS for Chinese and even if it benefits the US, Americans, including politicians in high places, don't want more Asians in the country. As a matter of fact, in contrast to what you recommend, American acceptance of Chinese students in STEM has dropped from the recent hatred. So what might seem like a smart move to you is anything but easy for the US to make.

Also, while brain drain was a serious problem when China was very poor and the US indisputably on top of the world, it is reversing and recently, they trend has sped up from American xenophobia and COVID.

"In past years, more than 95 per cent of Chinese students obtaining an advanced degree in a developed country chose to stay there after graduation. By the end of last year, however, more than 83 per cent had returned to China, most within the five years starting in 2012."

— up from about 33 percent in 2007, according to China’s Ministry of Education."

those article are from Trump era, where he basically block H1B etc for chinese students. China brain drain problem is less now compare to decade ago, but it still pose significant issue. If thousands chinese graduate from MIT/berkeley etc got a offer from US company in bay area, including potential future green card, how many of them you think going back to China unless some chinese company offer much higher salaries?

there is difference between white american nationlist vs corporation who want more workers. every year H1B application was filled within days. if biden increase R&D, then more jobs is needed to fill the increasing job vacancy. US corporation might push for more H1B openings. Also US attract talents not just from china but from india, as well as other place. So even if there are domestic shortage of STEM graduate, US can tap into the vast international graduate within its university graduate program. Most high tech industry in US start off by immigrant. alot top as well as lower engineering position are fill with asian. thats why i said even china have millions STEM grad, alot are dud as you said, the best often study abroad then pick up by oversea companies in EU/US. Even within China EU/US company will offer visa to those have outstanding performance, and many choose to move their entire family oversea. Anyway, its something to think about, how to reverse brain drain. china spend all these resource to train them all the way to college, but oversea company often rip the benefit.

We're still in the Trump era. That man opened up a can of worms in the US that can't be put back where it was. I just showed you articles that over 80% of Chinese graduates in the US return home, and only a small portion of Chinese STEM students even go abroad, soundly reinforcing my point that China has far more STEM workers and potential than the US. You can't argue against data with your personal supposition of how you think people will react.

You just repeated your logic but failed to address my point that Biden does not have the power and there are many many obstacles in the US that do not want more Asians in the country. You can restate the need but you cannot talk over these legal obstacles and the fact that Chinese STEM acceptance in the US has, in fact, dropped.

Also US attract talents not just from china but from india, as well as other place. So even if there are domestic shortage of STEM graduate, US can tap into the vast international graduate within its university graduate program.

Every time you mention India, I laugh and hope they get all of them to wreck the US like they wrecked Intel and their home country. Chinese and Asian scientists as the best; every time there's some science/math comp, all the top kids from every country are Chinese (with some Koreans and Singaporeans). They can get people from elsewhere like I can go buy a shipping container to live in instead of a house.

China is already reversing brain drain with 80+ percent returning home up from 33% in 2007. They are way ahead of you in thinking about it and doing it.

Abstract :

Swimming biohybrid microsized robots (e.g., bacteria- or sperm-driven microrobots) with self-propelling and navigating capabilities have become an exciting field of research, thanks to their controllable locomotion in hard-to-reach areas of the body for noninvasive drug delivery and treatment. However, current cell-based microrobots are susceptible to immune attack and clearance upon entering the body. Here, we report a neutrophil-based microrobot (“neutrobot”) that can actively deliver cargo to malignant glioma in vivo. The neutrobots are constructed through the phagocytosis of Escherichia coli membrane-enveloped, drug-loaded magnetic nanogels by natural neutrophils, where the E. coli membrane camouflaging enhances the efficiency of phagocytosis and also prevents drug leakage inside the neutrophils. With controllable intravascular movement upon exposure to a rotating magnetic field, the neutrobots could autonomously aggregate in the brain and subsequently cross the blood-brain barrier through the positive chemotactic motion of neutrobots along the gradient of inflammatory factors. The use of such dual-responsive neutrobots for targeted drug delivery substantially inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells compared with traditional drug injection. Inheriting the biological characteristics and functions of natural neutrophils that current artificial microrobots cannot match, the neutrobots developed in this study provide a promising pathway to precision biomedicine in the future.

Very exciting development. Unfortunately I dont have access to read the whole paper

BTW this was published by Chinese Scientists

Your VDI scenario actually means any country can compete in employing talent

In fact, Chinese companies would benefit disproportionately because many more people are willing to move to the USA, whereas not as many are willing to move to China.

sure whatever you said, the fact is most top US company has alot aisian in it. as for india, there are plenty qualify engineer in intel/amd/nividia, underestimate them however you like. Not gonna argue with you on talents stay in US, if you think china got all the talents thats up to you. you should goto bay area check out how many asian are there. if you want use excuse such as most asian stay in US because they can't keep up china work environment, sure, i guess that including you. you basically just saying asian stay oversea because they are lazy and can't handle works culture in china. as for choosing talent, thats what the multiple interview is for, and if for some reason company not satisfy with the worker, they just lay them off.

So your response to the numerical data that over 80% of Chinese (and rising) who went to American to study go back to China is "I see a lot of Asians in SF Bay?" LOL

The primary reason for Chinese people to stay in the US is that they get paid more and the lifestyle is more relaxing. However, when they are high level and very useful (which is usually not right out of school), China can actually pay them more and they actually enjoy exalted social status greater than the difference in the US between mundane and exceptional people. This is concurrent with what I see that very ambitious and cut throat people see more opportunity in China for a upward mobility. And your argument against that is also, "I see lots of Asians in America's top companies." Guess what, I see even more Asians in China's top companies LOL

As for choosing talent, while the American companies choose their talent as best they can just like every company in the world, they can only pick amongst those who wish to stay, and I have already shown you articles and data for why more and more are choosing to go home, and the reason is not that they were refused VISAs. Therefore, your assertion that the US can pick through the best for itself is also disproven.

Yeah, there are plenty of Indians in Intel, that's why Intel, America's lead for 7nm fab failed despite every tailwind behind it and now the US needs to rob TSMC. And they all passed multiple rounds of interviews for Intel to hire them. I'm not underestimating Indians; Indians always show their lack of worth both abroad and at home.

that can be inserted into the skin and can sense the COVID-19 virus in a person’s bloodstream before they become sick.

They showed reporters on CBS’ “60 Minutes” how the device works. It is inserted into the skin and supposedly senses the COVID-19 virus, and when connected to a dialysis machine, can flush the virus out of the body before an individual gets sick.

‘You put it underneath your skin and what that tells you is that there are chemical reactions going on inside the body, and that signal means you are going to have symptoms tomorrow,” said former colonel Matt Hepburn, who now works for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

So is this like the Theranos device which can do all your blood tests with a small patch. Lol.
It smells like BS to me.
