Good article ... though the point made about research scholars going back to their native land (India/China, particularly) to excel in their field, is little far fetched. Because in those countries, the daily grind of life is little overwhelming, so much energy is lost. But its all improving ... The schooling system and methods of teaching are very different as in India (from my own experience) and US, at least in elementary/high schools. And in USA, they have to emphasize on the grade school education system, if they have to remain competitive globally.
