Um, actually, the British did help out the Germans with aero engines prior to the war... Then after WW2, they sold advanced jet engines to the Soviets.

My son considered a PHD program in Biotechnology/Engineering.
He has a BS in that field.

He applied to about 8 different programs and was accepted by two. The two that had by far the most Chinese lab students were Harvard & MIT. These are the high end biomedical research
institutions in the world.
Some of the labs were 100% Chinese nationals. The professors were also Chinese.

My son ended up getting a job instead at a major Pharma company. He paid off his student loans a couple months ago after less than two years out of college.

My college calculus teacher was Chinese, and that was 40+ years ago. The Chinese are part of the fabric of America and any who break laws should be prosecuted just like anyone else. The problem today is we have a weak FBI that is focused more on trespassers and moms at school board meetings than espionage.

I spend part of my working career as a security guard for a major university. And I usually took the holiday shifts for the overtime pay. The university was always deserted on holidays...except for the Chinese students. As you noted, they were still in the labs, working away.

But I never saw any of them in the language arts building, studying poetry. So I guess we still have the edge there.

They [the FBI] don’t care what you think. They have guns and they are not bashful about using them. You get too uppity and there is a place for you in the Washington, D.C. jail. ASk those who protested the stealing of the 2020 election if you don’t believe it. Only Leftists, BLM, Democrats, and ANTIFA are allowed to express opinions.

I don’t have a problem of any person of Chinese decent who is an ASIAN AMERICAN Citizen.

What I was trying to point out is that these were ALL Chinese Nationals. My son said when he visited they were all conversing in Mandarin. Which he could not speak.
These were not children of Chinese people who emigrated to the US.

When you have 1.5 Billion people to pick from, the CCP can pick out the smartest and promote them to special education positions. The dumb Chinese people are assembling your Walmart clothing, etc.

Yes, there were Nazi sympathizers and profiteers active before WW II. And they sure helped Germany along.

But as I’m sure you’ll agree, we are doing more than just helping China. Through our purchases at Walmart and everywhere else, we are actively funding China’s war machine.

It’s insane. And Trump was about the only politician who understood that. So of course he had to go.

“U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins, the top federal prosecutor in Massachusetts, said the move was “in the interests of justice” and was the result of new information the government had received about the allegations.”

I think that the ‘new information’ was that her arrest happened under Trump.

The “justice” department has to do what the president tells it to. The president has to do what the chicoms tell him to do.

Not a good start for “release them all Rollins”. Her idea of Justice is not what you think.

The CCP ordered their installed puppet in the White House to drop the charges.

Statement by the defendant’s lawyer:
“The government finally acknowledged what we said all along: Professor Gang Chen is an innocent man,” Robert Fisher, Chen’s defense attorney, said in a statement. “Our defense was never based on any legal technicalities. Gang did not commit any of the offenses he was charged with. Full stop. He was never in a talent program. He was never an overseas scientist for Beijing. He disclosed everything that he was supposed to disclose and never lied to the government or anyone else.”

It is possible to go to Walmart, shop for normal goods, and get nothing made in China, but your point is generally correct there.

Nixon going to China is turning out to be one of the dumbest things anyone has ever done, because he opened the floodgates.
