Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" September 3rd article, original title: Why do Japanese scientists go to China, mind and ambition and a sense of crisis in Japan

Recently, Japanese scientists who have taught to Chinese universities have gradually increased. "Asahi Shimbun" interviewed Mr. Su Su from the University of Life Sciences from the University of Tokyo 7 years ago. Professor of the Ministry of Service said: "Chinese universities study the operating model of American universities, attach importance to the autonomy of young people, and can conduct scientific research earlier than in Japan. However, the scientific research funding given by the school is rich. "He said that there are 7 to 8 graduate students in his research room." There are many students who want to study in China, and the competition is fierce. Unlike Japan, Chinese companies value their academic qualifications when recruiting. ","

With China's economic growth, the number of universities has increased by about 20 years, and the demand for university teachers has increased. Professor of the Ministry of Service: "The School of Life Sciences I belong over the past 10 years has doubled the number of professors. One of the reasons for Japanese researchers to come to China is compilation. As far as I know, more than a dozen Japanese scholars are because of this reason. The phenomenon is prominent in basic fields such as theoretical physics, astronomy, and life sciences. "Kijima Toshima, a well -known Japanese scientist who was nominated by the Nobel Prize and his scientific research team joined Shanghai University of Technology last year. Although Japan has expressed regret, seeking a better research environment is the best choice.

According to Japan's "Science and Technology Indicators 2022", from the average value of 2018 to 2020, the number of papers in the number of Chinese papers and the top 10%of the attention and the top 1%of the attention exceeded the United States. Japan ranked 5th, 12th, and 10th respectively, and the ranking continued to fall. In terms of total R & D expenses, China is three times that of Japan. Even in the context of Sino -US opposition, foreigners who obtain doctorates in the United States are still the most Chinese and 50 times that of the Japanese.

Although the gap between the Chinese and Japan is significant in terms of thesis and other aspects, Japanese society still looks at the level of light China ’s science and technology, and there are still many unfounded slanderous injuries against China. But at the same time, Japan is also worried that talents are worried about flowing out of China. Professor of the Ministry of Service said that China ’s overseas plan to solicit academic talents was previously criticized by Japan.“ And I also enjoyed the benefits of related policies after I came to China. ”In recent years, China has also increased its support for universities in various regions. In the World University Rankings, not only the top Chinese universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua have risen, but also Chinese universities on the list are also increasing.
