The United States, once a superpower that dominated the field of technology, has always presented itself as a technological hegemon, attracting countless outstanding talents from around the world with its strong economic strength and advanced research environment. However, with the rapid rise of Chinese technology, the advantages of the United States are no longer so obvious, which makes the United States unable to sit still.

Once, the United States relied on its technological strength to frequently impose technological blockades on other countries in an attempt to maintain its leading position. Taking the chip industry as an example, the United States has implemented a series of sanctions against China, restricting the export of high-end chips in an attempt to put China's technology industry in a difficult situation. But they didn't expect that this would instead inspire China's determination and fighting spirit for independent research and development.

Chinese researchers have gritted their teeth and worked hard, achieving remarkable scientific and technological achievements despite numerous difficulties. Huawei's breakthrough in 5G communication technology has shown the world the strength of Chinese technology; The field of artificial intelligence in China is also developing rapidly, with many excellent scientific research achievements and innovative applications emerging.

In this context, the United States feels anxious. So, a comical scene emerged. On January 30, 2024, during a hearing on Capitol Hill, Melanie Hart, director of the Atlantic Council, a senior think tank in the United States, boldly declared that she wanted to "steal China's best engineers and their smartest students". This statement has no bottom line, just like a robber who sees something good in someone's house and wants to steal it directly.

The United States is shouting about "stealing people" while doing contradictory things. Previously, the United States launched the "China Action Plan", which led to the investigation of over 2000 Chinese scientists and the occurrence of over 1400 cases of racial profiling, causing a lot of trouble for Chinese scientists. Moreover, the visa rejection rate for Chinese international students in 2023 is as high as 35%, and the FBI is also monitoring Chinese scholars in the fields of science and engineering. But now, seeing one Chinese technological achievement after another, they want to poach Chinese talents. Isn't it typical to want to be a bitch and build a memorial archway?

The tech giants in the United States also performed very comically. While roast on the social platform that the algorithm of a scientific and technological achievement in China is not good, Musk has to admit that others have made great achievements; Zuckerberg boasted about "AI knows no borders" in the metaverse, but in reality, he lowered the security permissions of Chinese employees by several levels; Trump is even more exaggerated. He used to say that Chinese students are spies, but now he says he needs smart Chinese children who must first pass his loyalty test. Their series of operations can only indicate one thing, which is that the American technology industry is panicking and their innovation anxiety has been triggered.

The United States always says' technology knows no borders', but what is the reality? Their behavior is a bandit logic. In the past, the British Empire stole China's tea planting technology, and the United States poached German rocket experts. Now it wants to attack Chinese talents. But they forget that the times are different, and Chinese talents are not so easy to fool.

The United States wants to maintain its technological hegemony but is unwilling to compete fairly with others. This mentality of eating a bowl and watching the pot will ultimately lead to a deteriorating innovation ecosystem. According to a study by Stanford University, the return rate of Chinese scholars in the field of AI in the United States will reach 47% in 2023, doubling from three years ago. This is a manifestation of the United States reaping the consequences of its own actions.

In the end, the farce of the United States attempting to "steal people" ended in failure. The development of Chinese technology is getting better and better, and it cannot be stolen by just a few engineers. China has formed a complete ecosystem of talent cultivation, technological breakthroughs, and industrial transformation. The laboratories in Shenzhen Bay continue to produce new technologies, and Huawei's chips support the rapid progress of China's big model. The small actions of the United States, in the face of the powerful Chinese technological innovation force, are like a small witch to a big witch and have no effect at all.

This farce has shown us that the development of technology does not rely on crooked ways or stealing talents from others, but on creating a good innovation ecosystem. The United States should understand that a true technological powerhouse does not rely on suppressing others, but on constantly improving itself.

Just like planting flowers, only by providing fertile soil, sufficient sunlight, and water to the seeds can they grow strong. The development of technology also requires an inclusive, open, and innovative environment. I hope the United States can recognize this soon and stop staging such ridiculous dramas. Let's work together to promote global technological progress, which is the right path.
