AMERICA'S STEM CRISIS: CHINA DOUBLES PHD OUTPUT WHILE WE BLOCK TALENT

美国的STEM(科学,技术,工程,数学)危机:中国培养的博士数量翻倍,而我们却在阻碍人才

The math is brutal: China's producing twice as many STEM PhDs as America, while we reject 89% of H1B visa applications.

算起来有点残酷:中国培养的STEM博士数量是美国的两倍,而我们却拒绝了89%的H1B签证(特殊专业人员/临时工作签证)申请。

Meanwhile, U.S. teen math scores just hit their lowest since the 1970s, and our semiconductor industry faces a 300,000-engineer shortage by 2030.

与此同时,美国青少年的数学成绩刚刚跌到了20世纪70年代以来的最低水平,到2030年,我们的半导体产业将面临短缺30万名工程师的问题。

The irony? 45% of U.S. STEM doctorates are earned by foreigners who often can't stay here.

这是不是很有讽刺意味?美国45%的STEM博士学位,都是由那些通常不能留在美国的外国人获得的。

Instead of keeping this talent, we're forcing them home to competitors like China, which just doubled down on tech education.

我们没能留住这些人才,反而迫使他们回到像中国这样的竞争对手那里,而中国最近还加大了科技教育方面的投入。

Maybe it's time for another Sputnik moment—before China's STEM supremacy becomes our tech industry's sunset.

也许在中国的STEM霸权让我们的科技产业成为夕阳产业之前,是时候迎来另一个斯普特尼克时刻了。
