wang huiyao of the china western returned scholars association, which celebrates its centenary this year, obrves that a turtles have returned in five waves. the first, in the 19th century, produced china’s first railwaybuilder and its first university president. the co
nd and third, before 1949, produced many leaders of the nationalist and communist parties. the fourth wave, which went to the soviet bloc in the 1950s, produced such leaders as jiang zemin and li peng.
the prent wave began in 1978, and is by far the biggest. since then, about 2.6m chine have gone abroad to study. the exodus has grown of late to about 400,000 per year. the majority stay overas, but the 1.1m who have come back have made a difference. mr wang argues that whereas the first three waves revolutionid china and the fourth modernid it, the fifth wave is globalising the country.

there is another explanation: many of the latest wave are of lower quality. in the past, only the very best were allowed to go out and so competition for government scholarships was fierce. but as incomes have rin, many families of mediocre chine students have spent a fortune on degrees from universities of dubious quality that do little to enhance their job prospects. wor yet, partly becau of the downturn in western economies, many have come back without work experience.
