The outflow of AI talent from top Chinese universities like Tsinghua and Peking University is under debate. Contrary to popular belief, data suggests a significant portion of graduates are returning to China. Peking University professor Wang He argues that staying abroad for education or work doesn’t equate to a lack of patriotism, emphasizing the value of international technological exchange. Tsinghua University data shows only 8% of 2023 graduates pursued overseas study, contradicting claims of mass emigration. The Tsinghua Alumni Association reports a substantial return rate among alumni who studied abroad, driven by China’s growing economy and innovation initiatives.
