I believe Chinese law REQUIRES Chinese individuals and companies to spy, if the gov’t requests it.

no one is more pissed off and angry at the third rate thugs and thieves from China slithering around in our research institutions than me.

Research, especially biomedical research, does not happen in a vacuum. Networking of all kinds is inevitable as scientists tackle ever tougher challenges in cancer research, in genomics, microbiomes, etc. Maybe we don’t collaborate with Chinese researchers, but our colleagues in Switzerland, in Sweden, in Germany, in Israel, they do. So, by second and third degrees of association, the chinese biomedical researchers are still in there working at becoming world class in their work.

The point is that they have to stop with all the theft and pretend nothing is happening. That will likely be very hard. Staying competitive in biomedical research demands a high level of innovative capacity that the chinese currently lack. Unless they change their culture, without theft, they will increasingly fall behind. Yeah, it’s a dilemma for them. Maybe they will figure it out, maybe they won’t.

“I believe Chinese law REQUIRES Chinese individuals and companies to spy, if the gov’t requests it.”

That would make sense, given the kind of country they are. The REAL QUESTION is whether the Left can guilt Americans into ‘accepting’ that behavior, rather than risk being called racists.
