I would like to explore the reasons or lack of reasons why Chinese scientists in China so far do not have the blessing of winning a Nobel Prize in Science (medicine/physiology, chemistry, physics, or economics). From my personal experience I have a few ideas, please look out for my future articles on this topics.
I chat with a Medicine/physiology Nobel prize winner recently on this topics. He suggested that:
1. Chinese government institute or Chinese Universities should recruit young scientists (after 3-5 y post-docs) to go back to do top notch research. Most Nobel prize winning work was carried out at the age of 30 to 45. After 50y old, not many people are productive at late career in life.
2. If Chinese government censor media (newspapers, radio and TV stations, maganizes et al), Chinese scientists lack freedom of speech, which will have very negative impact on their ways of thinking, even detrimental to their independent thinking .This is most critical reason according him.
3. In US or UK, assistant professor and lecturer are PI who have independent research projects and funding. Young PIs always have crazy and great ideas and do not conform to dogma and standard of thinking. This is the exact problem in Chinese universities. Lecturers or staff scientists do not have independent labs and have to carry heavy teaching burden.
I can list more reasons. I agreed with you that money is not the only issue and there are other deep challenges facing Chinese scientists. Sorry my Chinese typing is very slow. So I typed in English.
