中国每年招收博士的数量在不断激增，新增博士点也是遍地开花，博士毕业后找工作也似乎愈加不容易哦。
且看国外是如何评论的。
本文摘选于2011年4月21日的《自然》期刊的一篇评论（the Phd factory博士工厂)，原文堆世界各主要产博大国的发展现状进行了评论，本文选取了对中国部分的评论。
The number of PhD holders in China is going through the roof, with some 50,000 people graduating with doctorates across all disciplines in 2009 — and by some counts it now surpasses all other countries. The main problem is the low quality of many graduates.
Yongdi Zhou, a cognitive neuroscientist at the East China Normal University in Shanghai,identifies four contributing factors. Thelength of PhD training, at three years, is too short, many PhD supervisors are not well qualified, the system lacks quality control and there is no clear mechanism for weeding out poor students.
         Even so, most Chinese PhD holders can find a job at home: China’s booming economy and capacity building has absorbed them into the workforce.   “Relatively speaking,  it is a lot easier to find a position in academia in China compared with the United States,”  says Yigong Shi,  a structural biologist at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and the same is true in industry.But PhD graduates can run into problems if they want to enter internationally competitive academia.To get a coveted post at a top university or research institution  requires training, such as a postdoctoral position,in another country. Many researchers do not return to China, draining away the cream of the country’s crop.
   The quality issue should be helped by China’s efforts to recruit more scholars from abroad. Shi says that more institutions are now starting to introduce thesis committees and rotations, which will  make students less dependent on a single supervisor in a hierarchical system.“Major initiatives are being implemented in various graduate programmes throughout China,”he says. “China is constantly going through transformations.”
