There is a fundamental difference between how China and the United States view higher education. Grasping that difference is essential to national security. Top Chinese graduate students are cultivated with the expectation that their expertise will advance state priorities. So when Beijing sends its top students to matriculate at American universities, it is not pursuing benign cultural exchange; it is deploying strategic assets.
Seen through that lens, China is using the American university system as a conduit for absorbing American know-how, extracting technical expertise, and moving valuable research and intellectual property back to China. The practical effect is that People’s Republic of China (PRC) nationals are often placed in sensitive labs and federally funded research roles, frequently at taxpayer expense, under limited scrutiny and with ample institutional cover.
The Sept. 19, 2025 report, “From Ph.D. to PLA” (the People’s Liberation Army), from the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), confirms that America’s top research universities have become reliable access points for the PRC’s defense ecosystem — through visas, federally funded research appointments, and institutional partnerships that fail to account for, much less mitigate, the CCP’s “military-civil fusion strategy.”
The Department of State defines the military-civil fusion strategy as a CCP strategy to build a “world class” PLA by 2049 by leveraging civilian research and siphoning intellectual property and technological advances to serve military aims.
The committee’s investigation targeted six schools: University of Maryland, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), Carnegie Mellon, USC, Purdue, and Stanford. They investigated Chinese students: where they previously studied, how they’re funded, what research they conduct, and how deeply the universities collaborate with Chinese counterparts. The report’s significant conclusion is that U.S. visa and university policies are enabling PRC defense-linked entities to tap American higher education.

The good news is that we’re only going to allow 600,000 more Chinese “students” in to our country. We need them to make american colleges great again!

Yamamoto went to Harvard in the 1920s.
We are close to having Indian citizens replacing all the IT workers here in the USA. This in nothing in comparison.
It’s sad that we just give it away. Our grand children will pull rickshaws someday.
Absolutely correct!
Well, during World War II we accepted German and Japanese 'students' to our top Universities - even to intern at research facilities under the University of Chicago football field... /s
This process is intentional on the part of American political and business elites. Starting with the Immigration Act of 1990, the US opened to at least 65,000 high tech foreign workers per year. At one point there was no limit on the number of foreign academics that could be imported. A number of Universities were known to use graduate students as employees.
It is a shame to live in a country whose elites so hates the guts of its people.
