Overseas Student Returnees Swell to Over 70K in 2009
Even though the American economy has shown signs of recovery, it has not quelled the urge of Chinese Americans to return to their homeland.
16日晚,兩場分別由中國官方與旅美中國學人舉辦的大型海歸召聘會,同時間在紐約與華盛頓展開:教育部留學服務中心在哥倫比亞大學帶來20多個機構、超過1000個公職與教職機會;北美交流中心則是第八年舉辦留交會,帶來上千個民營企業的工作機會。On the evening of the 16th, two separate career fairs were held simultaneously in New York and Washington DC. They were sponsored by the Chinese government and Chinese Scholars in America, respectively. At the career fair at Columbia university, Department of Education's Service Center for International Students presented over 20 organizations offering over 1000 public sector positions and teaching positions . The North American Student Exchange Center was the 8th annual one of its kind. It provided over thousands of private sector job opportunities.
The reason for holding these job fairs is very simple: The tide of returning to China has risen rather than ceded.
Last year, the financial crisis led to the highest number of Chinese scholars returning home in history at 69,300 people. Not only did this trounce the estimates by almost 20,000, it also equated to 20% of all Chinese scholars who returned home since 1978. The total number is now at 400,000 people.
The head of the Chinese Center for Overseas Student Affairs Wei, Zuyu said:」 This year the total number of returnees will definitely be more than the number we had in 2008, because the number has already hit 70,000 and we are still far from the end of the year.」 Mr. Wei, who has been at his post for almost 30 years and witnessed the recent history of Chinese student going overseas, chuckled as he noted that the number of total returnees would soon hit 500,000. Since 1978, the total number of overseas Chinese scholars stands at 1,600,000. Out of that number, the Chinese Department of Education estimates there are still 500,000 scholars who are continuing to pursue further studies. Thus, if we subtract the number of returnees, the number of scholars who remain overseas is growing lesser and lesser.
中國留學人才回歸,逐漸出現「順差」。8月,中 國教育部與國家統計局的數據顯示,2004年留學生累計回歸率(當年海歸與留學人數之比)是24.39%,接著逐年成長約0.5%,到2008年卻猛然跳 上27.96%。原先擔憂人才外流、腦力「逆差」的中國,現在逐漸迎來人才「順差」。The return of talented Chinese scholars home has created a talent surplus. In August, official Chinese figures show that the scholar return rate for 2004 was 24.39%, and grew by 0.5% the following year, then jumped to 27.96% in 2008. Originally, China was worried about an outsourcing of brainpower and talent. Now, China is enjoying the fruits of its talent surplus.
實際上,9月底時,長春藤盟校之一的杜克大學預測, 不光是中國留學生海歸加速,未來五年還將會有10萬名中國移民返國,該校學者就說:「美國正經歷其它國家已經歷的人才外流,這是美國史上首見。」究其因, 無非是中國的蓬勃發展,與美國移民手續的曠日廢時。當然,美國的海外人才這兩年更清楚看見美國的經濟優勢不再,儘管經濟已有復甦跡象,但中國人更多的懷疑 是:回暖速度有多快?
