China Faces Scientist Shortage From Cultural Revolution
TOKYO UPI reports China lacks trained scientists and engineers due to Mao era upheaval. Only about 300,000 to 400,000 skilled personnel exist, while Japan has roughly 500,000. Private discussions reveal education was shut down or politicized by the Gang of Four, delaying modernization. China plans to train 800,000 new scientists by 1985 and seeks Japanese student exchanges, amid reopening of exams and restoration of university control after Mao's 1976 death.
