Japanese media: Japanese experts praise the good scientific research atmosphere in China
2022-12-19
Japan's Asahi Shimbun published a report on December 18, entitled "Why did Japanese researchers rush to China?". Taking the experience of several Japanese researchers as an example, the report explains why they are willing to engage in scientific research in China. The report is excerpted as follows: Japan's scientific research strength is accused of declining, while China's sense of existence is rising. China is actively promoting R&D investment and talent recruitment based on its economic strength, while Japan's research environment is severe, young researchers rush to China, and "brain drain" is taking place. Experts pointed out that in order to improve scientific research strength, it is necessary to create a free and dedicated research environment. A male researcher in his thirties began to apply for the position of associate professor in the National University several years ago. Although he had made research achievements, he was always rejected. So he began to think, "Do you want to apply for a job in an institution other than the target university?". He had a haunting scene in his mind. It was the winter of 2019. When attending an academic conference in the United States, a professor from China announced to foreign students that a new research center would be established. After returning to China, he immediately said to his wife, "I want to study with those enthusiastic people." The Chinese professor also greeted him. Going to China is risky, and there is no guarantee of return. Nevertheless, he decided to take a challenge. After receiving the title of associate professor, he went to China with his family this spring. When he arrived in China, he found that the researchers there were enthusiastic. They have a strong desire to write papers and do not want to miss any opportunities. In addition, he felt that a big difference between China and Japan was that the whole society attached great importance to science and learning. Young researchers have both job opportunities and status. In his 40s, Noda Jiqing majored in space plasma physics. He became a postdoctoral fellow at Peking University in 2010. His arrival in China was also a "coincidence". He received his doctorate from Tokai University in Japan, and later contacted a professor from Peking University who was interested in his thesis, and was hired. Five years later, when his contract expired, the professor of Peking University introduced him to the professor of Shandong University, and he became a researcher of Shandong University. He felt that the difference between Japanese and Chinese universities was the communication in the research room. The relationship between Chinese researchers is not only "vertical" but also "horizontal". As soon as you speak in the chat area of the social software, you can immediately get a response from the members of the research room. In many Japanese universities, professors are the "masters of one country and one city", with a pyramid structure. Nowada spent more than ten years in Chinese universities, and it may not be correct to say that "China has made achievements because it has more research funds than Japan". He said: "Researchers can communicate with each other about anything. This atmosphere is an important reason for China's research strength to improve." Recently, more and more Japanese researchers have come up with the idea of "going to China, which has a lot of research funds and can ensure enough research time". "However, the main premise is to have research creativity and achievements, otherwise, you will not be able to apply for scientific research fees and get jobs in China," Noheda said In the past 20 years, Japan and China have
