Young researchers have long come to the U.S. for academic training, but a combination of Chinese money and U.S. restrictions is shifting the balance.” China can “match the funding and infrastructure that attract prominent scientists,” but still struggles to reproduce “the freedom, trust and institutional stability that allow young talent to flourish.
