There shouldn’t be any Chinese studying or working at US universities. Period.
pardon my rant below, but you are absolutely correct. I’ve posted this in numerous places and threads hoping the right people will take notice.
Chinese students should not be allowed in US University STEM programs.
IP theft is real, however espionage driven IP theft is being accomplished at an alarming rate w significant damage to the USA’s future. But there is a third trail of IP theft that is seldom mentioned, this IP theft is initially at US university research labs where successful processes and technologies eventually became start-up companies.
Most US university research result in dead-ends through no fault of the researchers, its research. But that is the source of my rant; Chinese students are the platinum standard of campus cheaters. Seldom is there a class w only one or two Chinese students, 4-6 is standard size for group cheaters. In STEM programs there could be 2 or 3 Chinese groups cheating. Don’t get me wrong, Chinese students attend classes, learn and study as well as any student, but they have ways to cheat that a thesis could be written on. Not that most universities care about Chinese cheaters, the Chinese students pay full tuition, funding and donations by the CCP (Chinese Comm Party) to upgrade or build new labs or tech is numerous and in $$$ millions. The group cheaters are given preferential access to class selections to maintain group continuity. This is done under the guise of cultural stress if group continuity is lost. How sweet and understanding we in the West are.
Seldom do Chinese students major in fluff programs, no middle Euro art or 16th century architecture majors. Most are in STEM (sci-tech-eng-math) programs at major universities, these are the majors that get the students into the CCP or move them up the CCP hierarchy when they return to China. Most Chinese STEM students are vying for entrance into Masters Programs w the ultimate goal of university research centers and labs. Remember, most Chinese students are platinum level cheaters and didn’t earn their access into university research centers and labs on their own. But CCP donations and the universities’ love for diversity is paramount.
This is where espionage driven IP theft weave with university research centers and labs that provide a roadmap to find what needs to be stolen. Start-up companies that spin off from the research centers and labs are the most viable to result in commercial or military usage and success. Also provides easier espionage hacks into the start-ups early which is when they are most susceptible. As a start-up prospers and collaborates w or swallowed up by major corporations, the roadmap Chinese researchers provides the agents of espionage with the intellectual property “DNA” they need to find and steal. IOW, major Corps have 100s of millions of files stashed on their networks, having the “DNA = keywords or formulas or recipes or directory titles” can significantly simplify the theft and reduce detection of their incursion.
Again pardon the rant
