I read on an interview to a scientist on another discipline (bio science) that China is starting to offer to leading scientists in their fields to bring them over and put in their hands a fully equipped lab (including staff of +50) to speed up their R&D. So depending on urgency, I do not think there is a need for cultural change. It seems to me like a shift on world economics in 21st century will produce a wave of scientist to move to China, very much in the same way it happened in US in 20th century. Maybe that personal forward looking statement is sci-fi, we'll see.
