This study was carried out to understand the factors driving the significant gap which has been noted, especially since the late 1980s, between the number of Chinese coming to study in the United States and those returning to China upon completion of their studies. Commonly referred to as a brain drain phenomenon, this disparity has greatly reduced the number of young professionals available in China to fill the positions being vacated by an earlier generation of leading researchers and university teachers as they retire with serious economic, political, social, and scientific consequences for China.

520 $a This study was carried out to understand the factors driving the significant gap which has been noted, especially since the late 1980s, between the number of Chinese coming to study in the United States and those returning to China upon completion of their studies. Commonly referred to as a brain drain phenomenon, this disparity has greatly reduced the number of young professionals available in China to fill the positions being vacated by an earlier generation of leading researchers and university teachers as they retire with serious economic, political, social, and scientific consequences for China.
520 $a The Chinese government has expressed the view that China should develop strategies to resolve the problem. However, the reasons for the continuing outflow of young professionals have remained unknown. Framed by push-pull and cognitive dissonance theory, this study analyzed the interview responses of 36 subjects to understand why they left China to study in the United States and why they have decided to remain in this country.
520 $a Significant push factors were described by respondents for leaving China and for not wanting to return there despite their feelings for their home country and their understanding of China's brain drain problem. However, the study also found that important push and pull factors coexisted in the United States, which made decisions to stay contradictory. Dissonance theory was employed to explain why and how Chinese students reduced the level of contradiction in their decisions and finally reached an inner harmony.
520 $a Conclusions are drawn and policy recommendations to the Chinese government that address the brain drain problem are provided. These focus on eliminating or reducing the major push factors from the Chinese side.
