Cotton is right. Chinese students are controlled by the PLA and basically function as foreign agents of a hostile regime.
I agree 100% with you. In fact, China has a term for this program of having many of their citizens spying no us: the Thousand Talents program.

Partially right. Not just the students and Postdocs, but it’s every Chinese national in this country, they are all spies. it doesn’t matter if they are here on a STEM program, run a small business, or work in Corporate America - it is a large army of spies.
The interesting thing about students and the postdocs after they finish their work at American universities, many not all will apply for regular positions at American companies and their goal is to further integrate into American society but also to spy.
