The progress and development of every country is inseparable from the support of scientific and technological talents, just as the progress of human society also follows the pace of scientific development.

The United States, which has existed for less than 300 years, has surpassed Britain, defeated the Soviet Union, and emerged as a global superpowerJapan, despite its crushing defeat and economic collapse in World War II, managed to rise and rise to the status of a "developed country", and the key behind this was its abundant pool of skilled personnel.

According to the latest data from the Global Scientist Rankings, the number of top talents in the United States has reached a staggering 2,632, a figure that is only behind Germany at 1,200. Surprisingly, even Japan, which has just emerged, has 294 people.

This has undoubtedly sparked curiosity about how many outstanding scientists there are in China's fast-growing world

Global talent. In this era of rapid technological progress, the real challenge lies not in technological breakthroughs, but in the lack of talents. Talent is one of the most important driving forces for economic growth and social progress, and it is also the core force for the improvement of comprehensive national strength. If a country wants to gain the upper hand in the fierce market competition, then the cultivation and support of talents is indispensable.

Although many of these talents are unknown, we cannot ignore the efforts they have put in and the results they have achieved. They have made many achievements in scientific research and have also contributed to the scientific cause of our country. It is because of this group of people who devote themselves to research and research that society continues to move forward.

As globalization continues to deepen, we have observed that in the process of increasing internationalization of science, scientists are still active in this field, although science is not limited by national borders. Because every country needs a large number of scientific talents to support its development, and scientific talents are cultivated through different ways, including education and training. The number of scientific professionals a country has can indirectly show the country's scientific and technological strength and future development potential.

Together with the world's largest academic publishers, Stanford has released a list of the world's top talents, one of which is called "Lifetime Scientific Impact," which assesses the contributions and impact of scientists throughout their academic journeys;The second is "Outstanding Science Communicators", who demonstrate their scientific achievements and impact on society by introducing the personal deeds of outstanding scientists and the awards they have received to the public. There is also a concept known as "annual scientific impact", which refers to the academic impact that has been made on a scientist in just one year.

From the list, we can understand that Wang Zhonglin is not only the first person in the annual scientific influence ranking, but also the second place in the lifetime influence list, and it is worth mentioning that he is the only Chinese in the top ten on the list.

We must understand that every outstanding scientist in the world will gradually contribute to the progress of the country and the social development of all mankind.

Although they stood on the shoulders of great people, they were also potential pillars behind the country. It can be said that if there are enough top scientific talents, then they have a good chance of dominating the field of science and technology.

Japanese and German talents. Despite being a relatively small island nation, Japan still has a significant presence in the global technology sector. Every year, at least one scientist is awarded the Nobel Prize, and 294 scientists from Japan are included in the global talent rankings.

It is undeniable that Japan's investment in talent training and education in the early stage is commendable, and each of their rise is due to the efforts and salvation of reserve talents.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent students to Middle-earth to study Xi and bring their advanced technology and knowledge back to their own countries. The application and large-scale reform of these technologies and knowledge by the Japanese state led to the entry of Japan into a feudal society and the inclusion of education in Japan's official policy, laying a solid foundation for the cultivation of future talents.

As the shogunate drew to a close, Japan was forced to declare its founding due to the powerful power of Europe and the United States. To this end, they once again sent international students to Europe and the United States for further study. Upon their return, they carried out the Meiji Restoration based on what they had learned, a process that accelerated Japan's rise to the plate and the beginning of its journey of aggression.

It was thought that after World War II, the economy would collapse completely, and Japan would decline as a result. But they did not expect that they would quickly rebuild and recover the economy, and gradually emerge as the second largest economy in the West. With rapid economic growth, Japan has now risen to prominence as the world's third-largest economic powerhouse.

Japan invests huge sums of money in scientific research every year, which creates opportunities for its areas of expertise to bring benefits to the country. Japan's top universities provide cutting-edge laboratory facilities to their students, and although this may lead to an increase in the country's fiscal expenditures, they have adopted a strategy of investing significant resources in order to produce more professionals.

Although Germany is a powerful country, there are significant differences between it and Japan in terms of human resource development.

During the Second World War, Germany rose to become the world's dominant power and trained a large number of professionals. However, because the goal is not simple, this leads to the development of human resources that is not sustainable.

Despite the fact that Germany cultivated talent for the war and won in a short time, even gaining the opportunity to sweep across Europe, this effort did not last long. After World War II, Germany's resources were divided, and the talents they had worked so hard to produce were plundered, and in the end only new honors were brought to other countries.

Among Germany's over-the-top talents, the United States is the country that has been "captured" the most, which also indicates that it has laid the foundation for its subsequent development trend.

American talent. The reason why the United States dominates the world depends to a certain extent on the talent pool, such as Einstein, Beethoven, Marcos and countless other geniuses have become the foundation of their lives.

For this group of talents, we would like to express our special gratitude to Germany for their training. It was because of these talents that Germany gained great benefits in the war, rose rapidly, and succeeded in crushing other countries at the feet of the Iron Horseman.

Due to Germany's "anti-Semitic policy" and the fact that most German scientists were Jewish, they had to leave their homeland in search of refuge.

Through the implementation of the "Paperclip Project", the United States has successfully attracted these talents to their own country, not only providing them with a safe living environment, but also giving them extremely high treatment, thus forcing them to voluntarily choose to settle in the United States.

When they arrived in the United States, they quickly threw themselves into their cause and received full support from the United States. Their involvement has undoubtedly accelerated the overall development of the United States, and their research results have earned them a global hegemony that has surpassed traditional powers for three hundred years.

The U.S. understands the value of talent, so it began to look for talent from around the world. They dominated the competition for talent and offered lucrative packages, which made the world's talent begin to move closer to the United States.

Every year, a large number of top talent migrates to the United States, and the United States always welcomes them. Until now, the land of Laomei has been favored by outstanding talents from all over the world.

It is for this reason that by 2018, the number of talents in the U.S. tech field had reached a staggering 2,632. In the global talent rankings, the United States has always held the leading position in the world, which also constitutes a solid foundation for maintaining superpower status in the long term.

Compared to other China, which is growing faster than any other country, the number of global talent disclosures is simply staggering!

Chinese talent. Compared with other countries, China has long recognized that science and technology are the most important productive forces, and the cultivation of talents is the basis for supporting the rapid development of a country.

Shortly after the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution, China was actually a relatively backward country among the countries that were called developed countries. Even in the case of the mushrooming of cars around the world, China has not even succeeded in manufacturing tires.

But the current situation will not be static, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, my country completely turned over, and even in 2011, China's industry far surpassed the United States.

As we all know, China is a country with a large population, and since it has a large population, it naturally has the ability to cultivate them into talents who can contribute to the country.

However, looking at the global talent rankings, China has only 562 people on the list, which is almost zero compared to the United States.

You must know that it took the United States 300 years to become the world hegemon, and China, which can look down on it, has a far shorter development time than the United States, and it has risen all the way in a few decades.

Although we cannot match the U.S. strategy to attract talent and Germany's efforts to cultivate talent, after the reform and opening up, China, which is scarce in talent, has made a series of achievements that have shocked the world.

Deng Jiaxian is known as the father of two bombs and one satellite, Qian Xuesen is the father of aerospace, Yu Min is the father of the hydrogen bomb, and Yuan Longping is the father of hybrid rice. Although there are not many talents in our country, they are all the best among the elite. It is precisely because the state attaches great importance to education and vigorously cultivates talents that China's progress and prosperity have been sustained.

Epilogue. Although China has only 562 people in the global talent rankings, this does not mean that a country's progress will encounter obstacles.

From a relative point of view, they are not leaving their homeland because they are greedy for the interests of the United States, on the contrary, they are quietly giving, which provides us with the opportunity to compete with those powerful countries. "I think I can turn myself into a scientist. "I firmly believe that with the continuous progress of our country, more talents will emerge and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will eventually be realized.
