Counter-arguments
1. The brain drain should not be stopped by restrictions because they can only prevent people from going abroad, but can never make them serve the needs of our country’s construction whole heartedly.
2. Restrictions are useless, for in China there are always ways to get around restrictions and many people have already found ways to do so.
3. Backward management should be changed in order in order to bring people’s initiative into full play.
4. Unfair distribution systems should be got rid of to make sure that people who have made the most contribution are duly rewarded.
5. Intellectuals’ living and working conditions should be improved. Only in this way will people be willing, rather than forced, to stay in our country. This will induce, rather than force, people to stay in the country.
6. To those who have stayed in foreign countries beyond their time limit, we should give more trust and understanding rather then label them as unpatriotic of dismiss them from their former jobs. Only in this way can we attract those who have already gone abroad.
7. The 5-year-service-system is unreasonable because a person learns best when he is young and free from family duties.
8. What occurs as a consequence of the 5-year-service -system is that many high school graduates refuse to go to college because they do not want to be bound by this regulation.
9. People are required to pay a large sum of money if they don’t want to fulfil the 5-year-service obligation. This hurts the feelings of many who actually want to come back after their studies abroad and forces them to remain overseas long enough to earn their money back.
10. For many people their desire to go abroad becomes even stronger when there are restrictions, for people are always tempted to do what is forbidden.
11. China’s irrational employment and personnel system should be changed so that people who do return from abroad can use the skills and knowledge they have acquired abroad.
12. People abroad often suffer from loneliness and homesickness and long to come back, but certain rules and regulations have frightened them away.
