内容摘要：In the past two decadesChinaleaped from bit player in global science and engineering (S&E) to become the world's largest source of S&E graduates and the second largest spender on R&D and second largest producer of scientific papers. As a latecomer to modern science and engineering,Chinatrailed theUSand other advanced countries in the quality of its universities and research but was improving both through the mid-2010s. This paper presents evidence thatChina's leap benefited greatly from the country's positive response to global opportunities to educate many of its best and brightest overseas and from the deep educational and research links it developed with theUS. The findings suggest that global mobility of people and ideas allowedChinato reach the scientific and technological frontier much faster than if it had gone down a more parochial path.（该论文可以在NBER网站下载）
