Intelligent Americans rarely go through the hazing ritual that is a PhD because its financially stupid unless you’re rich.

If you mean “intelligent” Americans who work on fucking blood sucking ad tech or garbage financial engineering rather than pushing the boundaries of science and technology, sure.
It’s not that far in the future that you’ll start seeing quite a few ‘intelligent Americans’ in European and Chinese PhD programs :)
The flow of students between China and the USA is effectively unidirectional and always has been. What insight do you have to suggest that this will change in the near future?
