I struggle to see the benefit in all the knowledge and money we have transferred to Communist China.
How has this made our nation better?
We get to save a few cents on items we buy, but we give up so many things in exchange.

In point of fact, you could say that where China is concerned, the United States has, all too often, acted irrationally against its own best interests in dealing with that totalitarian communist regime and continues to do so.

Understatement of the century...

The article is a bit exaggerated, but it does have some true points. Some other things to consider

First of all, the vast majority of Chinese students want to stay in the USA, work here, and become citizens

Also, Chinese Communists are suspicious of any students or people who have remained outside for so long. Its both jealously of the people within the bureaucracy, and fear of ideological pollution.

Whaddya mean “who taught them?”

Who *financed* them?

Be it pubbies or d’rats our adversaries continue to learn from US in many fashions.

WHO paid for and arranged to educate BO’B in an American Higher Institution of learning? THIS is no better than buying ammo, handing it over as a ‘gift’ only to be shot once your back is turned. HOW in the world did educating this dopey guy make this nation any stronger, any better?

We rest our case.

I recall seeing Chinese guys in engineering college in 1980.

Thought they were Taiwanese, was told no, they are Mainland people.

Was speechless. Communist Chinese attending school in the US? What were we teaching them?

Everything and anything.

Comment: a real Nationalist Chinese (Taiwanese) PhD in math that I worked with told me he was invited to a get together back then that turned out to be a party criticism session run by the Chinese Communist political officer at his school (UC Davis). They thought he would toe the line, didn’t know he was KMT. He told them to go f**k themselves, but was shocked that a Maoist spy cell was operating basically in the open.

Feel safe? Happy to have all the cheap China crap at Walmart?

Suckers.

But all these students from Mainland China are important. They pay out-of-state tuition to US state universities, so they’re major sources of funding for the university bureaucracies. And the grad students are an vital source of cheap labor for research groups (Will work for green card).
