"...The U.S. concern that Chinese students will not return home is valid. The Chinese government acknowledges it has a "brain drain" problem..."

Anything that hurts Red China is good.

Is there a concern that those who stay are problems to us in some way?

If not, we should encourage their escape from Red China.

An american job was saved today...and the competitive advantage of a few US patents may last a little longer too.

As I recall, Saddam's "Dr. Germ" got her Ph.D. in biochemistry from Cambridge University. She later was reportedly involved in experiments where she watched as people died from her "creations".

Thug-like regimes that could have never produced advanced technology on their own should not be allowed to partake of the fruits of a free society. Sorry, Wang. Go tell your Commie leaders you want capitalism and freedom as well.

Yo, Red China! We're having second thoughts about educating your brightest young people. We're thinking maybe it will come back to haunt us someday (perhaps very soon).

So, young Chinese citizen, you are now free to go home and enjoy all that your own country has to offer. If you don't like it, maybe you and some of your fellow countrymen should think about changing things over there. Feel free to use force, if you can find any (I hear citizen arms might be in short supply).

...State University, which had promised him a $1,500 monthly stipend, $20,000 for laboratory supplies and a chance to work with Bo Yuan...

"They are pulling their own weight and making contributions ordinary people like you and I aren't capable of making."

Uh, did I miss something here?

How is getting a $1500.00 per month stipend and $20,000.00 for lab supplies, pulling one's own weight?

I have begged, pleaded, cajoled, and everything else to get assistance for my kid's and all we get is BS from Junior colleges. My oldest son is still paying back money that he was loaned, yes, loaned for his eduction. Cheap bastards wouldn't even discuss a stipend for him.

Send all of 'em back. Give the money to AMERICAN students!

We provide quality eductaion to these people so that they may go back to their countries and use it against us.

What a crock.

There've been reports out for years that among the large number of Chinese student exists a large number of spies. With the raised tensions of the Wong Way incident, we're probably being a lot more selective, but claiming it's for economic reasons.

It must drive the PRC mad when they go to great effort to recruit a bright young 18 year old and then have him rejected for admission.

"a $1,500 monthly stipend, $20,000 for laboratory supplies "

Say what?

Could you repeat that please?

With two sons presently in college and two more just beginning to look at their options, I have a very good idea how difficult this kind of support is to find.

Just what is it that this particular student brings to our country and to this university which would merit this amount of financial aid? (besides diversity I mean!)

While I understand that this is most likely one very sharp student, one of my son's closest friends scored a 1500 on his SAT and (so far) has no financial aid offers of any kind.

Once more, I'm reminded that something went awry in the progress of America.

[JEC]

You realy don't know how badly this breaks my heart. Maybe now some poor American will get what they justly deserve... A free education that has been going to some foreigner that does not belong here.

"These are not people who are going to open up gas stations," said Greg Leonard

Absolutely correct! They will be returning to do research in Chemical and Biological institutes that manufacture weapons to use against the United States. The US should stop educating foreigners in such sensitive fields. Come on over if you want to learn medicine but go somewhere else if your thinking about studying nuclear fission or some other potentially hazardous security threat.
