“…35 Previous CSET research also shows that China continues to increase the number of graduates holding advanced STEM degrees, 36 with doctorates projected to grow rapidly over the coming years. 37 Moreover, evidence suggests that China's AI talent pool is largely domestic. A 2019 report from Chinese job board Liepin states that more than 90 percent of the country's AI workforce is native-born.…”

U.S. policies on artificial intelligence education and the AI workforce must grow, cultivate, attract, and retain the world’s best and brightest. Given China’s role as a producer of AI talent, understanding its AI workforce could provide important insight. This report provides an analysis of the AI workforce demand in China using a novel dataset of 6.8 million job postings. It then outlines potential implications along with future reports in this series.

This brief illuminates the scale of Chinese government funding for higher education, science, and technology by exploring budget and expense reports for key government organizations and 34 of China’s most elite “Double First Class” universities. Chinese political leaders view elite universities as key components of the country’s military modernization, economic growth, and soft power; a situation that presents security risks for international partners.

“…Currently, doctoral education in East Asia is comparable in scale to that in the United States and Europe. China in particular was already graduating more science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) PhDs than the United States in the mid‐2000s and is projected to graduate almost twice as many STEM PhDs as the United States by 2025 (Zwetsloot et al., 2021). Therefore, the development of doctoral education in this region has global significance.…”
