Why do Chinese people who win the Nobel Prize have to become nationals of other countries?

This has nothing to do with patriotism. People who value science often don’t care about these things. What they care about is their reputation in the academic world and whether they can continue to conduct the research they like and yearn for.

It is true that some people go abroad for the purpose of immigrating from the day they leave the country, but there are many people whose original intention is not that simple. There are three common reasons.

Generally speaking It is said that once foreign scientific departments discover that a foreigner has unique scientific research capabilities, they will induce them with various conditions, and the corresponding condition is to join the nationality and serve the country. Many people have failed due to this trick. So what you said about not being patriotic is actually not being unpatriotic, but being too fond of money.

In addition, there is another situation that should not be underestimated, that is, China is a formalist country. Things are only about formality and not very pragmatic, as long as they look good on the surface. This leads to many people who are dedicated to studying knowledge not getting the status and reputation they deserve, while those who are academically incomparable but clever The people who want to win are trying to get on top of them one after another, and they even use their connections to steal their own scientific research results. This forces them to find a relatively pragmatic place where they can rely on their own skills. .

There is also the last situation, which is not easy to accept, that is, the pressure of life. This is different from the first one. That is to say, even though they are engaged in scientific work, even though they are young, He has made great achievements, but cannot meet the living expenses of himself or his wife and children at home, and his wife repeatedly presses for various expenses. In desperation, he has no choice but to keep his wife and children with him. But the only way to achieve this goal is I got the local nationality first, so...this is actually not patriotic, this is called the pillow effect.
