Just imagine an emergency evacuation from this plane.

I would not even be surprised if they purposely designed the seats to collapse and crush the lower class passengers as additional shock absorbers to help improve the survival chances of the upper class passengers sitting above, who would then also have a much lower drop from their seats to the floor, because just think of their poor ankles!

Likely a worse brain drain than PR China ever experienced.

No.

About 30-35 % top US AI researchers are from China. The number from India is more like 7-8 %. The gap of brain drain is even bigger in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and ECE/Semiconductor. Just look at US Physics, Chemistry, Life Science and ECE faculty, PhD students and Postdoc list. Then look at the engineering teams of top US semiconductor companies, and the people who are putting out the patents.

Yet another attempt to thin out the herd I guess. Typical western elite, always looking out for themselves while throwing everyone under the bus. One must wonder when all the lower class is gone, who else will they throw under the bus next.

It is important to compare the cohort size and who is going where. The brightest of China have tended to return to China for a very long time and for Chinese, emigration to the US was usually done before university graduation. At no point China had 60% of its best university students emigrating to the US after graduating. The larger number of ethnic Chinese in the USA can be easily explained by more people studying STEM.

When talking about inflation and your country appears in the same sentence with Argentina and Turkiye, you got problems.

UK faces highest inflation in developed world – OECD​

Consumer price growth in Britain will outpace any G20 member except Argentina and Türkiye, a report says

The UK will have one of the highest inflation rates of any major developed economy this year, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) reported on Wednesday.

According to the forecast, British inflation, which only recently fell to single digits for the first time since last summer, will be higher in 2023 than nearly any G20 member except Argentina and Türkiye.

Although headline inflation in the UK declined to 8.7% in April from 10.1% in March amid cooling energy prices, food inflation has been stubbornly high. Grocery price growth reached 19.1% in April, which is the highest rate in more than 45 years, according to the Office for National Statistics.

The OECD predicted that even as Britain is expected to narrowly avoid a recession in 2023, higher interest rates are likely to dent economic growth and incomes in the coming months.

"The high interest burden on public debt and the recent drop in average debt maturity leave the public finances exposed to movements in bond yields," the OECD said in its Economic Outlook.

The Paris-based organization expects the UK’s economy to grow by 0.3% this year and by 1% in 2024. It noted, however, that the forecast includes "significant risks."

Renewed increases in wholesale energy prices will “further squeeze real incomes given the United Kingdom's high dependence on natural gas. Faster-than-expected resolution of uncertainty regarding future trade relationships is an upside risk,” the forecast warned.

Responding to the OECD data, UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt admitted that inflation was still “too high,” adding that “we must stick relentlessly to our plan to halve it this year. That is the only long-term way to grow the economy and ease the cost-of-living pressures on families.”

The inflation rate in Britain should average 6.9% by the end of the year, the report concluded.

Not all but some.

I wasn't talking about undergrad trashes but STEM PhD students who emigrates to the US, and after completing their PhD vast majority becomes faculties in US universities, becomes scientists at US national labs, or joins the US deep tech companies.

You can look at the faculty list of Top US Physics, Chemistry, Life Science, ECE and CS departments, and how many of them were born in China. You can look at the people working in Google Deepmind, Meta FAIR, Microsoft Research, and how many of them were born in China. You can also look at Apple, Qualcomm, Nvidia, AMD, Intel, AMAT, LAM, KLA, Synopsis/Cadence, Scientific instrumentation companies patent authors list and how many of them were born in China.
The larger number of ethnic Chinese in the USA can be easily explained by more people studying STEM.
I was talking about Chinese people born in China, did their STEM undergrad in China, and then emigrated to the US.
