China will ausländische Wissenschaftler. Die Öffentlichkeit sagt Nein, danke. Seit Peking ein neues Visum angekündigt hat, um junge Absolventen der Wissenschafts- und Technologiebranche anzulocken, kam es online zu Gegenreaktionen, die die Regierung zu einer Reaktion zwangen.

What’s the backlash? At least they tell you what not to say instead canceling your greencard because the 1st amendment doesn’t apply to your x account or whatever.
>When the Chinese government announced a new visa to attract young science and technology talent, it advertised the move as another step toward becoming the leading scientific power, one to which people from around the globe would flock.
>To many in China, it was a gross mistake.
>In the days before and since Oct. 1, when the visa was supposed to come into effect, commenters have accused the government of inviting foreigners to steal jobs from Chinese people, at a time when young people are finding it harder than ever to land work. They have suggested that foreigners are being blindly worshiped, a longstanding national sore point.
>Prominent influencers have also stoked nationalism or xenophobia, claiming that China will be overrun by outsiders. After Henry Huiyao Wang, the president of the Center for China and Globalization, a research group in Beijing, praised the new visa, people on social media called him a race traitor, and their posts were shared thousands of times.
What are you talking about? We don’t elect the govt, and it certainly needs not to respond to us at all. I don’t receive any response, where’s this news source coming from???
I think most people foreigners will say no too, no reason to step in front of a tank. There are plenty of places remaining in the world where you can think and say whatever you want, China is not one of them.
Oh no, internet comments appear to not have been edited by the state yet. Alert maintenance, not the media.
China is trying to move in on the space the Trump administration is leaving open. I don’t think they’re going to pull off the whole pluralistic culture/come here to get rich thing the US does (well, used to do) that makes pulling talent in easier.
Intellectuals are probably smart enough to know China can’t be trusted.
How does this work when employers in China discriminate against anyone older than 35?
europe is vacuuming up all the talent the trump admin is alienating.
with the cdc layoffs, climate science gutting and the anti vax movement, a lot of scientists are looking for a job .and a lot of european countries and companies are rolling out the red carpet for them.
china has to be panicking about that.
Oh yeah, high educated scientists are definitely going to steal redneck Wei’s job. Glad it happens in China, no one wants them to be a leader in science
Kinda amusing how almost everyone assumed the „backlash“ is from people not wanting to move to China, shows the american bias very clear… No, it’s the Chinese people not wanting foreigners, they rather have Chinese scientists filling those roles, lmao.
Chinese people have no say in government decisions at all. Why does the public reaction even matter?
