Here is an imaginary conversation between the leaders of the US and China:

China: The Economist magazine this week has a front page article about how technology  is advancing  faster than the educational level of the population can keep up.   Your country  (i.e., the US) is very deficient in K-12 education. And soon your entire middle  class will disappear and leave your country with a small superrich minority  and vast unemployable lower class. Your economy will collapse.

US: We are not worried. So long you keep on sending us your best and brightest here and 75% vote  with their feet and choose to stay here. We got a great deal. You spend 16 years  educating these kids, we only have to put out 2-4 years of investment to provide the finishing touch. Then giving the entrepreneur and innovation environment in our country, they provide us  with fresh  blood and will do great things to keep this country great. In fact it is not just China  but India and the rest of the world all want to emigrate here.

China: The tide is turning, we are providing various incentives for returning scholars such as  the “Thousand Person Project” et al. Before long, the US won’t be an attractive place  forforeign  students anymore. Then what are you going to do?

US: From what I know, those returning“sea turtles” do not fare so well.   The Chinese Science and Technology system is so out-of-whack and full of corruption that only a   small percentage of the students/emigrants will leave the US to return.  And in some well known  cases,we even have “sea turtles” returning to the sea. Once you are used to the freedom and ways of doing things in the US, they will find it hard to give them up.

China: We shall see about that.Time will tell.

US: On that we agree completely.
