Yep, at least since the ‘80s.
Sulplise!
I’m not clear on what it is a university student can steal.
Not sure what they call spying. Very little classified research gets done at US universities and none should involve foreign students. If the task is to steal documents about unclassified research with potential military application, then much of that can be done using open sources.
Stealing via hacking is another issue entirely.
way past time to start executing some spies.
The Russians act in the same way.
I have friends that house chinese and korean students. my first impression was that they were spies.
The Chinese are very successful businessmen, paying for the silence of those who benefit monetarily from them.
solution- limit the amount of Chinese students who recieve Visas and restrict where they can work.
Sadly this idea would never be implemented cause of the sacredness of multiculturism political correctness and fear of being called a bigot and nativist.
We, as Americans, have to face facts. Our government has not operated effectively since the Korean War. It’s time to clean out the politicians at the ballot box and then to purge the bureaucracy.
Do the student spies pay non resident rate, or am I as a taxpayer footing the bill?
IF we know them to be or suspect them to be spies, why not simply revoke their visas and deport them?
Again, effective border control and immigration policies would solve the issue.
If they greet Chinese dignitaries at airports and other public places and block protesters, even if they are students I would say as far as spies go, yeah, that’s pretty unprofessional.
Cheerleaders maybe.
If the country where the airport/public event is located has people reading articles like this one and know that these ‘cheerleaders’ are actually spies, wouldn’t they be subject to counter-espionage?
I don’t know how many times back in the ‘60s and ‘70s I heard and read about Soviet moles burrowing into American society so they could steal the recipe for Coca Cola or KFC’s secret spices. Yeah, whatever you say MSM.
During the 90’s they didn’t need even that.
Bill Clinton gave them, under orders, unrestricted access to picatinney arsenal.
Even better, the arsenal was not told to expect visitors, and was only made aware of the Chinese delegation at the same time as they arrived.
Yeah, cover sensitive items now..
I wonder what Obama is doing.
When I was at U of California ages ago, it was my distinct impression that nearly all the Chinese students, and professors alike, were spies. I got that impression when I noticed how reliably you could get a rise out of them by slipping something mildly negative about China into the conversation, which I came to enjoy doing.
A professional wouldn't bat an eye if you told him his country was crap and its leaders murderers, much less negatively react at some slight offhand criticism. But it was pretty easy to make the Chinese nationals here on student visas quite upset if you insinuated that some aspect of American life was superior to theirs. Predictable and transparent as hell. They should all be sent packing.
I wonder if we F with other countries in the same ways?
And attach a green card to all their degrees when graduated from American universities.
