| Summary: | The topic of brain drain and brain gain has flourished over the years in China. Many existing literatures have reviewed the trend on brain drain and its impact on the economic development of the source countries and the host countries. This research is to investigate this subject based on the theoretical lens of human capital. This research adopts the quantitative method, to conduct a survey for three months on 300 Chinese overseas students in Malaysian universities.
